OK guys have youse been holding out on me??:confused: Is there a discount store either on line or a brick and mortar structure that I don't know about to buy packing tape??

"What's that you say Jerry??" you ask. Well I have received packages from various places, some from HT, some from ebay, and some from other online sellers, that are more tape than cardboard. So if there's a secret place to buy tape I would really appreciate knowing it......... and oh yeah .....do they also have a discounted utility knife blade store so I can get the dang packages open :lol::jest::tongue:

:wave: Thanks in advance for any info :wave:

In my experience, the amount of tape on a box is in inverse proportion to the quality of the box itself...Generally speaking: The poorer the quality of the box, the more tape the shipper will use...Of course, there are exceptions.......usually from inexperienced packers/shippers....
There is no correlation between the type of box, amount of tape used, and its contents, as far as I know....

Jerry,
Check out epay for shipping supplies. I was picking up shipping tape (6 rolls) plus the dispenser for a little bit of nothing (compared to online retail or stores) from various sellers over the years. Dave

I usually box and ship stuff from work. It looks like I get my tape free because...I do.

Well.. I have received boxes with NO tape (crazy, ain't it??) and have received boxes with so much you couldn't see the cardboard anymore. I use a lot. I'll admit it. But I want to make sure the precious cargo reaches it's destination!! :lol: And keep the prying fingers out of the goodies while it's enroute.

I just do it to make it difficult to get the box open and piss people off!

...er ...I mean so that the precious cargo remains protected...yeah dats it....what Joe said.

LOL!

I'm proud to say that most all my packages can withstand a direct hit from an air bursted 20 kiloton nuclear missle.... I love the smell of styrofoam in the morning! Enjoy Win :hat: .... nd

This is NO LIE!!!!!! A parcel from land ho is indeed nuke proof!!! I don't think I've ever seen anyone go to the extremes ND does when sending precious cargo!!! But, I can appreciate it, just the same. I understand it completely too. After all, it is a one of a kind priceless piece of art. While it may be reproducible, the copy never seems to have the umph that the first one has. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I like those boxes that are taped out the of their wazoo and have nothing inside to protect the body/car/chassis/parts against the shipper. :rolleyes: rr
