Considering selling boxes online

[jdawg90 10+ year member]

As supplemental income. It works out to pay twice my job by the hour. I am ready to get started since reputation is obviously a large factor.

I am willing to build one for one hundred dollars plus shipping which is really not more than the expenses.

I just need to know where to start and how to advertise.

Any advice is appreciated.

mayb sign up with ups to see if u can work out a deal you can save money of shipping. u would deff have to do your first 5 boxs at cost of sure. i would not let people get to much for that 100.00 lol.

Your pretty much gonna need to get a business account with UPS or Fed Ex and then ship a bunch of boxes until you get a discount. Then you might be able to make some money off it. Don't expect to make much off the first few.

u said it better anyways lol. i was not sure what it was called but i know ups and fedex offer cheaper shiping rates if u sign up with them . selling local would b the op best bet. mayb on craiglist let people know your doing sub boxs at cost . for each box u can prettymuch hope that the person will tell a friend. i just started i have 3 guys from work that want me to make them a box. i have a kid that used to live near me he was in the area stoped by my house talked with me for 10 min yesterday and he was like i want a box for 2 10s . local is the way to go.

Yeah, I do quite a few locally. I've shipped maybe 10 boxes in the past. All small. single 10-12 or 2 8's. Shipping wasn't bad on those.

I have a Fed Ex account and it was $20-25 cheaper per battery than online UPS quotes when I was selling some 100lb batts.

I have a ups and fedex acct for my business. Still a big heavy box packed in a big shipping box is not going to be cheap.

Stuff the boxes full of marijuana to offset the shipping prices.
