I’ve posted this a couple of times before over the last decade or so and have never found a viable alternative to Uline. I don’t want to get into specifics, but I really REALLY want to stop using them as my primary supplier.

The type of item I can’t find anywhere else at an affordable price is Uline’s 11 3⁄4 x 10 3⁄4 x 2 1⁄4" White Literature Mailer which currently sells for 54 cents per box. I’m grandfathered into Uline’s free shipping at $300 so 54 cents is all I pay.

I’m not tied into the specific dimensions above. I just need something in the general ballpark of a length and width between 11" and 13" and a thickness ranging from 2" to 3".

To not waste anyone’s time, please don’t suggest Walmart or Staples. Please don’t suggest bubble mailers. I use cardboard for my shipping. Also, unless someone knows of a specific seller on ebay that won’t help either. I already use Multi-D book folds manufactured in PA which are getting more and more expensive each year with rising shipping costs. Also, most local box makers aren’t viable because I can’t buy a whole pallet of these boxes. I typically buy 200-300 boxes at a time and no local manufacturer I know is going to sell me that low of a quantity at a price near 54 cents each.

If someone does know of a local company in northern New England that might defy all these odds I’d love to hear more. I live in southern NH, but I’d be willing to travel to VT, southern ME or most of Massachusetts if it meant I could get regular access to an affordable supplier.

And of course, if someone knows of an online retailer that sells this kind of item at a competitive price I’d love to hear it.

Thanks to all - but I won’t hold my breath since, again, this is a question I’ve asked repeatedly over the years with no luck.
