Shipping horns

MJ · 11-29-2006, 01:44 PM

I have a bunch of horns to ship. Where should I go to find the cheapest supplies. Boxes, peanuts, bubble wrap. I stopped by the UPS store today and that was a joke. I'm going to try staples and office max next.

Also should I go with USPS, Fed Ex, or UPS. All of these will be within the US.

Try Staples for boxes and things.
And USPS for shipping.I use USPS or Fedex

I've never had a problem with USPS and I've sold a few horns in the past. I think priority mail is the bomb! Just pack securely and insure it for FULL replacement value.
