Why I love Uline...

Well, I have just picked up and sorted away my new allotment of white presentation mailers from Uline. They are in the midst of their annual (June/July) sale on these sturdy little boxes and we have stocked up for the year. Last year, I only had to reorder one size...so we are feeling pretty good. We are up to 18 different box sizes (though two are the same length and width but 3 different depths). It is nice to have the appropriate size for nearly any book. We also have three sizes of scalable brown...but only use them for sets and/or largish orders.

We also picked up some new black bags for shows (smaller) and some new white tape for our machine of infinite (as long as reloaded) tape. We toyed with getting printed tape, but having to buy 10 cases of it (120ish rolls) seemed a bit...er...excessive. We'll see when I burn through this case. A new roll of bunk and tissue paper for wrapping and a few other bits of this and that (278 pounds)...it was just like Christmas (if all one asked for was boxes...).

I love a company with great customer service, good prices, good (predictable) sales and free shipping. Oh, and they give you bits of this and that when you spend too much money (starting with a mug and coffee/cocoa at $250 and a new car over $200,000,000, or something like that). My favorite, thus far, is my glow-in-the-dark fish skeleton box knife (>$300).
