Was wondering if anyone knew of some good suppliers (in Canada) for either poly mailers or heavy weight envelopes...I currently get mine from business depot and they're fine but no bulk discount. Thanks in advance!

Look around for a local shipping supply company. I use one in Edmonton called "Specialty Packaging". Look in your yellow pages under 'shipping supplies' or 'packaging'.

Also, a lot of people don't know this, but an Industrial Supplier named FASTENAL carries a large amount of shipping product for quite reasonable pricing. It sometimes takes a while to come in, but it's quite cheap.

I get my padded mailers through them, and have ordered poly tubing and an impulse sealer for shipping. It was 75% the price of going to a shipping supply store.

I get mine from Canadapost for free, they are the Expresspost ones but i just fold that over and tape it down 100's at a time and all for free.

I purchase all my business suplies from Gerrard Ovalstrapping in Winnipeg. They deliver same day if order are in by 10am, or the morning of the next day.

Try corijennin. This ebayer is in the US, but I buy from her regularly - great service & prices, fast cheap shipping - and check her feedback - no negs in over 19,000 transactions.

Thank you guys and gals...

Zarzuella, question....when you buy from corijennin and it comes in from the US do you pay duties/gst & pst?

Thanks again.

I have some excess of #4 and #7 Poly Bubble Mailers that I could pass you at my cost, email me if interested (I don't need them) I have 4 or 5 cases left....

cello10 · ‎02-01-2006

sorry not familiar with the dimensions by # yet...what size are those?

I have used corijennin and the service was excellent. I have recently found a cheaper alternative in Ontario called Next Packaging. The service is also very good. here is a link http://www.nextpkg.com/products/Bags_Poly/index.html

And finally here is a company I used to use based in Montreal: http://www.cartonneriemontreal.com/

Thanks Sunraycity....

Let me ask you...when you ordered from corijennin did u pay duty/taxes?...I'm thinking of ordering cases from them and was wondering if and how much duty I can expect to pay...thanks in advance.

zarzuella · ‎02-02-2006

Hi cello

coryjennin ships via UPS. I usually order 2 cases at a time, and have never yet had to pay duties or taxes - I think the stated value is too low. Don't know what would happen if you ordered larger quantities.

Thanks Z...

So when you say you ordered 2 cases you mean the 1000 counts right? And how long did it take to receive them from time of order?

Thanks in advance, really appreciate your help.
