    Packing Supplies

    I was thinking about gathering packaging materials to keep in the garage and I started wondering how you guys could come across cardboard, foam, etc. that I can usually grab from work cause we stockpile the stuff. That's when I thought of the cardboard dumpsters that are always beside the garbage ones! Since I regularly check a few here and there, I realized I can always grab packing material from there too! Hope this helps someone with their shipping needs.



    This is a great new addition to the forum, shipping is actually easy if you know what your doing, it's really just some simple math and (haha) common sense. Whether I'm doing my day job shipping oddball sized freight all across Canada or shipping something I sold on Ebay, I will always pack something with the belief that the carrier will not care about my shipment near as much as I do and therefore placement, padding, and packaging are done with the assumption that the guys at the warehouse are going to play football with it (they probably do).
