I'm not against buying bubble wrap, but the price at the local office supply
stores is insane. The flip side is its pretty reasonable on-line, but the
shipping cost gets the net cost back up there again. Other than hording air
in little plastic pockets like I have done, what do you guys that ship stuff
do to keep the costs down?


Seems to me I paid about $125 for a 4 by 250 foot roll roughly nine years
ago, when the local retailers wanted about four times that price in much
smaller quantities. Uline was one of the more expensive suppliers as I recall.

The trick seemed to be finding a vendor who already made truck deliveries in
my area. They dropped it in my driveway at no extra cost. It was much
cheaper to do that than buy at retail, but I'm still trying to use up the
extra bubble wrap.
