Trying to find the best and most economical place to get a few insulated shipping boxes. Let me know if you guys know of some. So far I have shipyouraquatics but was hoping you guys had other choices. Thanks, Frank.
Where do you guys get your shipping materials?

just save all the boxes from the shipments you receive and you'll have plenty in no time. :bigsmile:

We get ours from Uline, a little more expensive but very thick styro boxes.
I've also been getting more interested in finding shipping materials. So far, I'm looking at bags from Uline. What sizes are people using?
What are opinions about heatpads? I've read that there's a difference between the heatpads we buy, at Walmart, sporting goods stores, and the heatpads for fish. Some say they're different, some say they are the same. Some say the "human" heat pads get too warm. It's all confusing to me...lol.
Styro boxes. Unfortunately, I don't have very many styro boxes, except large ones, that I've got from the LFS, to transport corals when traveling. When it comes to shipping corals, I'd like to find a source for smaller boxes. Maybe I just need to order more, from online vendors, so I can build up my box supply...lol.

i hate bagging corals man i suck at it!!! the cups are nice and simple...
i used to do the styro lining with styro insulation from hd or lowes
but that got really tedious
since ive been ordering a lot lately i have plenty of boxes to use if i start selling
just remember to save boxes from your orders
