    Hi,

    Just in the throws of setting up an ecomm net business and am sourcing my jiffybags/bubblewrap/tape/stationary suppliers.

    I've had a few quotes - not great pricing tho'........just wondered is anyone out there is doing a lot of postal business and who they'd recommend?

    All suggestions appreciated. Pm me if you like.

    Rgds,

    Nif

    Ebay should be your best friend for this sort of stuff, can't see any supplier in Ireland beating some of the prices on there if you look well.

    Yeah, i looked but the kinda stuff i need is bulky and then shipping it to me defeats the purpose as it hammers the price.
