Store owners - have you recieved shipping supplies code?

[pjcdn2005]

According to an announcement on May 2, the branded shipping supplies coupon code for store owners would be sent out by May 31. Has anyone received one by email and/or message? I know that some sellers were able to access the coupon in the manage your store section but I haven't been able to do that and haven't yet received a coupon code.

Recycled boxes used to me my source of cardboard for shipping.....

Are you still looking for recycled cardboard? I have many boxes from incoming shipments that are too large for my outgoing purposes and without time to trim them to fit. We are both in Winnipeg, right? 

[momcqueen]

I don't think they were supposed to expire until the end of June.

Found it by going to my ebay, then to summary.  

Amazing pricing. I love how they include a tube of KY jelly with each order.  How appropriate.

Shh! You just made me spit my coffee. Haha.

Thought about it and decided to remove this one. Not an easy decision though as, it just seemed to fit the topic so well. 🙂

better coupon, today only CSUMMERFUN2016  . US$15 off $100 ($100 can be CAN$) off anything on ebay.  Probabaly can get a better deal on shipping supplies then using the "free" ebay branded offer

New source of boxes is Staples.

Sheet cardboard also available in Winnipeg...

Adjustment has been made.

Looking forward to a Canadian supplier of eBay supplies.

Would these be the "same" boxes (without the branding) that we are being asked to pay $110.57 for a bundle of 25, delivered?

To be fair, I checked the U-Line shipping.  They are in Mississauga, I am in Toronto, cost to me to ship 25 of those boxes would be $17.89

Bringing the total for 25, 12 x 12 x 12 boxes, delivered, to $39.39.

Staples has something quite similar  at about the same price....

With an anchor store  one get $105 Canadian dollars. coupon

eBay's price is $110.57  Canadian dollars. for one batch of 25 boxes... to Canadian sellers.

and about $25 US to US sellers

A US seller with an Anchor store can buy three batches of 25 boxes ... while a Canadian seller with an Anchor store can only buy one batch  of the same boxes.

.... 

Three batches of the boxes from Staples  is about $75 Canadian and enough for me to ship 150 books

----------------------------

eBay's price has been adjusted.  The price for this batch of boxes used to be about $135

Thanks for the heads up. Please note, it is time sensitive (flash sale) and expires at 5 PT today, June 24.

Staples  has free shipping if the cost of the items purchased is over $45....

Three batches of the 12 x 12 x 12 boxes results in free shipping... Toronto to Winnipeg.

[cumos55]

And with eBay's option  from the US we might have

"International items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges"
