Our daughter, in the Boston area, is in need of a shipping materials supplier; primarily boxes and peanuts. She ships USPS Priority, has all the freebie box sizes, tape, labels, etc., but many of her items are larger than the #7 box. Several coworkers at her firm who are avid eBay buyers have given her boxes and peanuts. Her supply of peanuts is exhausted and though she is doing so, doesn't like shipping with used boxes. She's at a standstill with a bunch of items needing to be listed during the next three weeks. With twelve-hour days, she hasn't time to search local gift shops, etc., for recycled peanuts. She has to buy needed supplies in one fell swoop.....immediately.
I ship Priority (fourth holiday season with eBay) and have a great local shipping supply company for purchasing larger-than-Priority boxes and peanuts. Shipping heavy boxes from here (South) to Boston would be prohibitive in cost.
In a recent "boxes" thread, a Boston area seller mentioned using a supplier of corrugated boxes and bubble wrap with free shipping. That would be wonderful for her! She has an SUV and can pick up supplies if necessary.
Any sharing of Boston shipping supply sources will be greatly appreciated. Post on the thread or email me at [email protected]

She could give Chiswick a try. They are out of Sudbury. I don't know if they have a pick up program or not, but I'm in So. NH and have boxes / packaging materials shipped to me from them all the time. They arrive the next day and the shipping is very reasonable seeing as we are so close.
They can be reached at 800-225-8708. They'd be happy to send her a catalog.
