I should also mention The US Postal Service. If you
ship Priority or
Express
Mail they will give you boxes, tape and labels.
Not only will they give you the boxes and other supplies, they will deliver
the stuff to you. You can go to the PO and get an order form, fill it out,
and mail it (postage paid). You can also go to www.usps.com or call
their 800 number.
The minimum order for most boxes is 1 bundle of 25 boxes. There is also
a minimum on some other items. All this is listed on the form. IIRC, they
send you a letter asking you to estimate future needs and also ask you to
verify that you intend to use the stuff for its intended purpose. Yeah,
right,
like I intended to use them for my bottlecap collection. ;)
So if you're constantly sending your small stuff to other
packrats^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H collectors on this list, this may be a way to go.
Probably as close to a free lunch as you can get these days.
