Shippers Supply

One word, expensive.
Pros:
— Will sell to the public
— Friendly staff
Cons:
— No stock
— Expensive boxes
— Expensive mailers
— Expensive foam rolls
Being a small home business I can’t afford to spend so much just to pack my products and these guys can’t even come close to some of their competitors The staff here is great though, friendly knowledgeable and good for a laugh.
Shopping local isn’t enough these days. You need to do better or at least price match your competition.

I walked in knowing I needed a Pelican case to haul computer equipment around, I had looked at the online catalogue so I knew approximately what I wanted.
The gal behind the counter looked it up, said «I have one of those in stock if you’d like to see it.» and showed me to a room with a decent selection of cases. If they don’t have it, they’ll get it ordered for you. There’s quite a poster on the wall of available cases… selection is boggling!
I walked out with just what I wanted and needed. This store is like visiting Lee Valley (which happens to be right next door) — something interesting everywhere. If you need adhesive tape of any kind, containers of so many kinds, to protection for cables that may be walked or driven over (speed bumps)… you will find it here.
I’ve been a fan for many years, and for every industry I’ve worked in, Shippers Supply has products useful for me.
