Insulated boxes.
Looking to start shipping, anyone know if stores like staples/officemax/office depo etc sell insulated shipping boxes? Not looking forward to the wait from ordering online and whatnot!
Thanks!

I don't know about those stores, but I know people buy foam at Home Depot and cut it to fix the boxes they buy.

When you order from our site, ShipYourReptiles.com, shipping is often same day, but within one business day for sure. You can expedite the shipping if you need as well.

Do you have any petstores that sell fish around you? Go to them and ask for the boxes they get there fish in. I Got dozens of them ( my attic is full) haha. There carboard boxes with styro boxes inside. They should just give them too you.

Also a source of inexpensive boxes, true. However, keep in mind the dimensional weight of such a box.
If you are shipping a small reptile, which is most common, actual weight may be only 1 or 2 pounds, but dimensional weight, which is what you will be billed at, is going to be higher.
7"x7"x6" box dim weight- 2 pounds
12x9x6 box dim weight- 4 pounds
16x16x8 box (fish box size) dim weight- 13 pounds
There is a HUGE difference in cost between shipping the first box, as compared to shipping the fish box, even if they physically weigh the exact same.
(Dimensional weight is calculated by length x height x width, divided by 166. They use lasers to measure each box in the system)
