Buy Used Shipping Boxes in Omaha

Cut Your Packaging Costs by 70% with Used Shipping Boxes in Omaha

Your benefit: Wholesale buyers can reduce packaging expenses by up to 70% while maintaining product protection and supporting sustainability goals.

Why Choose Used Shipping Boxes for Your Business

Used shipping boxes solve three major problems for wholesale operations:

Cost savings: Your packaging budget shrinks by 30-70% compared to new boxes. For example, if you spend $10,000 annually on new boxes, switching to used boxes saves you $3,000-$7,000.

Environmental impact: Each reused box keeps cardboard out of landfills. A business using 1,000 boxes monthly diverts 12,000 boxes from waste streams yearly.

Structural integrity: Quality used boxes maintain their strength for multiple shipments. Properly graded used boxes protect products just as well as new ones.

How to Order the Right Boxes

Step 1: Calculate your needs

Count how many boxes you use monthly. Measure your typical products to determine box sizes. For example, if you ship electronics, you might need mostly 12x12x8 boxes.

Step 2: Choose the right grade

Wind and water tight (WWT) boxes cost more but protect sensitive products. Standard grade works fine for non-fragile items like clothing or books.

Step 3: Contact Repackify

Step 4: Negotiate volume pricing

• Bulk discounts for large orders
• Delivery fees and minimum orders
• Return programs for damaged boxes

What to Expect During Purchase

Delivery options:

• Small orders (under 50 boxes): Pickup recommended
• Medium orders (50-200 boxes): Local delivery usually available
• Large orders (200+ boxes): Same-day or next-day delivery possible

Quality inspection:

• Check corners for crushing or damage
• Verify boxes are clean and dry
• Confirm structural integrity for your products

Payment terms: Most suppliers require payment upfront for first orders. Established wholesale customers often negotiate net 30 terms.

Making the Switch Work

Start small: Order a test batch of 50-100 boxes to verify quality meets your standards.

Plan ahead: Used box availability fluctuates. Order 2-3 weeks before you need them.

Track savings: Document your cost reduction to justify the switch to stakeholders.

Set up recycling: Arrange for pickup of damaged boxes to complete the sustainability cycle.
