Not being a small business owner, I appreciate your sharing on how to get shipping supplies economically! Thank you

It's fairly simple to determine when a seller has included the shipping price into the product cost. The item usually costs marginally more. It's wise to consider customer service vs. cost and shipping, not to mention something rarely discussed and that's handling. The packaging materials can be a significant cost for smaller businesses. Although I also dislike high shipping rates, I'd rather not travel 3500 miles to pick up a $50 item and save $25 in shipping costs. I still don't like it, but it is, unfortunately what it is. Be well friends. - Marco PS - I apologize HeatherLeather. I was way off topic and didn’t really help with your question.
