USPS boxes / shipping supplies
Summary: shoppergurl08 is looking for a place to purchase USPS Priority Mail boxes in Canada, as their previous suppliers, Chitchats and Stallion Express, no longer offer them. recped suggests ordering the boxes directly from USPS, recalling they shipped to Toronto through a Business Facility. They also discuss alternative services such as using ChitChats in Buffalo or Cross Border Pickups for bringing the boxes over the border.
As a Canadian does anyone know where USPS boxes / shipping supplies can be purchased ? I frequently use the Priority Mail boxes (not in Canada) size 15x12x3.125. I used to purchase them from Chitchats up until they discontinued offering them about a year ago. Then for the last year I was purchasing them through Stallion Express (25 boxes for $2) - today they have removed them from their website and their customer service support has confirmed they will no longer be offering them for sale. Anyone else purchasing them elsewhere ?

·2 years agoIt's been a VERY long time but I ordered boxes directly from USPS and they shipped them directly to me in Toronto.
One thing I recall is that I had to go through a USPS Business Facility, the regular supplies people couldn't do the International shipping part.
Can you order them and have them shipped to ChitChats in Buffalo and they can bring them over the border for you? I haven't used ChitChats recently, if they don't offer that service you could try Cross Border Pickups, they are reasonable, $17 for up to 30lb, $20 for up to 100lb.
CBP also do Canada to US services just like ChitChats or Stallion, I have never used them for that purpose so I have no idea how efficient they are in comparison, presume the pricing is basically the same.
