Five Star Reviews: | 77% I like 'em! July 10, 2017 Fantastic! I love these things for shipping small items. Sturdy. Inexpensive. First class rates are usually $3.60 and Priority Mail rates are usually minimal $6.70 to $9 or so. Pack of 5" boxes April 26, 2017 A lot more sturdy than I thought they'd be. Bought these for the purpose of sending out gifts. They're really sturdy. Held everything quite well. GREAT: I use them all the time! January 4, 2017 I am one of the co-managers of the Michigan Marching Band Merchandise Sales Cart and I use these boxes all the time for shipping ceramic mugs and other small materials. I have bought these boxes several times and have never had an issue with any of them. You do have to fold and secure them yourself (which is super easy with good packaging tape) but this isn't a major issue and it's actually fantastic for storage. They are sturdy boxes; I have yet to receive any indication that the delicate materials I send in these boxes have arrived broken. They are a great size for shipping mugs and similarly sized items (either with bubble wrap/shipping paper or without). Great size for cups and mugs February 26, 2016 Perfect size to send a large cup. Just a tad bigger than a coffee cup fits perfectly inside with packing materials included. Best boxes Low price January 5, 2016 I use these for my etsy and FB business. I love these boxes I am a repeat customer I always click buy it again. The are perfect for shipping out my coffee mugs. Helps keep the shipping costs down when your not paying a ton for the boxes. Nice cheap boxes January 31, 2014 I sell some items on ebay and these boxes are perfect for smaller items. These are nice strong boxes and unlike the other reviewer I get shipping labels and tape to stick to the box no problem, they must be using sub-par shipping labels or tape. Great product, would recommend! | 83% Excellent for our use July 17, 2016 We were shipping a few thousand children's books and these boxes worked perfectly. They are well constructed and opened easily. I had called the company before ordering to assure that our books would fit. The person was helpful and did say there could be minor variances. We found all boxes to be made the same size and our books fit every box just fine. Very sturdy small boxes June 18, 2016 I used these boxes to donate my library of 300+ books when I sold my house and moved. They are smaller than I expected (failure in my ability to visualize), but ultimately it was a good choice because they weren't too heavy. And I don't care who you are or how strong you are. Carrying 30 boxes of books down a flight of stairs isn't something you wake up looking forward to. The size is perfect, and the thickness of the cardboard makes me ... May 20, 2016 I am a consultant for Usborne Books & More, and I use these to ship my Cards for a Cause boxes, as well as miscellaneous customer orders. The size is perfect, and the thickness of the cardboard makes me feel secure in my shipments arriving safely. |
Four Star Reviews: | 10% OK June 10, 2016 My set was glued a but "off" but is functional. If I were using them to mail something in a highly professional manner I would look elsewhere, but for other purposes just fine. For me, the flaps did close "together" leaving no gap when taped. Great prices, imperfect boxes October 27, 2015 These boxes are a very good price, and they'll certainly do for shipping. I would caution however that they are definitely not put together perfectly - they're a little uneven so if you need your box to look "perfect" this shouldn't be your first choice. For my purposes though they work fine and at 27 cents a box or so they're a good bargain. Great value September 5, 2015 Took one star off because I received a pack of 24 boxes instead of 25. The boxes themselves are fine. Anyone expecting boxes that line up perfectly straight are going to be disappointed. I have yet to find any cardboard boxes of any size from any store that line up perfectly. They're always a little off, but it affect how well they work. Good for small items, but needs reinforcement September 21, 2014 I ship small light weight items on ebay.These boxes work great when I need to ship a few items.However they definitely need to have corners securely taped over as there are gaps in most corners. Most pre-paid labels need to be printed at 75% size in order to fit on one side of these boxes. Never had issues with USPS shipping with these. | 10% The box itself is well made and is glued square so it closes fine. I do appreciate the fact these boxes are ... April 30, 2017 Decent box, for a box, however as other reviewers have noted, there does seem to be some sort of coating or residue on the outside of the box that doesn't allow the tape to stick well, but that being said, if you use a smooth edge device to press against the tape after it is applied, the tape will stick well enough. The box itself is well made and is glued square so it closes fine. I do appreciate the fact these boxes are 100% recycled as well. Good size for packing and moving small breakable items March 15, 2017 Good size boxes for packing and moving small breakable items. I would recommend. I'm thinking that they would also be good for people who are shipping to customers. Reasonably Priced - 100% Recycled Materials! February 4, 2014 At times our big boxes were too big and our smaller mailers were too small. This was the perfect size for medium-sized orders in our growing wholesale distribution business. |
Three Star Reviews: | 5% Asymmetrical boxes aplenty. May 19, 2017 Every single box in the bundle was non-square. One edge is about half an inch longer than the other three, making an asymmetrical square box. Why on earth would they manufacture boxes this way? Good for shipping smaller items February 23, 2016 These are standard shipping boxes, no extra frills. I only needed a few boxes and some of the ones I put together weren't completely square, but that didn't affect the overall function of the box. It was more of an aesthetic issue. Just an Ok Box November 21, 2015 I bought these boxes because I was in a jam and needed them in a hurry. The boxes are ok they are medium quality. I have had way worst, and much better. They are only 75 Lb Tested boxes which do not meet UPS Standard Shipping Guidelines. The biggest problem with them is they they don't meet in the middle of the box when you go to tape them. There is always a small gap no matter which flaps you close. They are just ok boxes, but if want a box that closes well 200 Lb Tested rated and actually looks good do not buy these. You can buy the same box from U****E much better quality for the same price and no hassles. Sturdy but not Square March 7, 2015 These boxes are strong and sturdy, and they're made of recycled materials, which is great. BUT they are not glued together properly, so there are gaps in some corners, and the box is slightly wider on one side. These boxes were okay. January 7, 2015 I've found these boxes to be passable at best. The boxes I received aren't cut squarely, so the shape is off a bit when I fold them for use. They are easily usable, but I have to compensate with tape and pressure to try to square them up. The cardboard is thinner than I expected, but I don't know my cardboard specifications so perhaps I can't fault the boxes for that. I love that these are recycled and made in the USA October 31, 2014 I love that these are recycled and made in the USA. I use them regularly as inner boxes for delicate items, so they don't need to be perfect. I've read the reviews about boxes that don't fold correctly, and received my first batch of those in my last shipment. Will have them replaced, and (thankfully) I ordered plenty of extras so did not run out with my last shipment. For the price, they can't be beat. If you're looking for perfect, these might not be it. | 3% Tape doesn't stick well May 17, 2016 Tape doesn't stick well to it but they seem durable. I had to use a lot of tape to get it to close and when I was preparing a box the tape kept coming off which was annoying I never had this problem before with other boxes and the same tape.. Great boxes when you send them...not as much when you receive. July 22, 2014 On the positive, these boxes are very cheap, a good size to ship for heavier smaller items (like books). They all came in good shape and appear to be of good quality. They can be stacked easy. Easy to write on for labeling.On the negative, the post office let'em have it. I shipped my book collection via post office with book rate. I decided these boxes made sense because they aren't too big to make each box very heavy. Filled with books, they weigh 12-15lbs. Most boxes arrived partially open. Not the flaps mind you ie due to insufficient tape. The actual box on the side was partially torn from wear. I even got an apology on a few from the post office for their condition (I even got insurance on them in hopes that more care would be taken...). Now, this could be an issue that just can't be fixed no matter the box (come on post office!)...but alas a box for shipping that doesn't ship well is less than great. This could also be a problem with books, but not other items. The actual books to my knowledge appear alright from what I have opened. But some boxes I have not opened that I fear the worst. Use them to pack all my dvds February 24, 2014 They are very small but i use them to pack my dvds away can fit about 20 or so in a box. Will rethink next purchase October 27, 2013 I run an online business an am always shipping stuff. I usually use poly mailers but with more of my delicate stuff, I'll put it in a box. These are great for my larger tutus. However, about 6 of my boxes were ruined by having flaps ripped off. It honestly looked like it got stuck in a machine. I'm using them for storage as of now, but I still paid for 25 ship able packages and I only got about 19. |
Two Star Reviews: | 3% Meh December 27, 2016 Nice sized boxes, but quality is lacking. The boxes have ripped/bent folds, improperly aligned where the box is glued together, some are even inside out, packing tape doesn't stick to them, and definitely not as nice looking as the picture. I wouldn't mind them being ugly if it were for every day shipping, but I make beautiful soaps and candles and need a nice looking package that won't open in transit. These 5" x 5" x 5" boxes would have been sturdy and almost perfect November 16, 2014 I've recently started selling items on eBay and bought these for small items. These 5" x 5" x 5" boxes would have been sturdy and almost perfect, EXCEPT that, in my shipment, almost all of them were glued lopsided, which made them impossible to fold together without leaving HUGE gaps. I tried tearing some apart to re-glue, but gave up on that effort. I mainly ended up wrapping my items inside plastic baggies for protection and also covering the open gaps with tons of tape -- which added to the shipping weight of the packages.So...other than not actually folding into a square, box-like shape, these were great. Not that impressed, They are just boxes, but.... June 27, 2014 Quality appears to be lacking and overall not that impressed. Will probably work for storage, but would be concerned about using the boxes for shipping products through USPS and especially UPS. If you are planning to fill with heavier items you will use a lot of tape to make sure they don't rip out.Overall I'll get my monies worth out of the boxes. They are priced well. Miscut & Lop-sided May 15, 2014 I ship constantly, using all sizes of boxes and qualities and can say this was hands down the poorest box I've ever purchased. The sides don't line up whatsoever, and the four tabs are lop-sided on both ends meaning when I tape them up to mail client gifts they look seriously pathetic. Definitely could not recommend them for anything other than using as protection inside other boxes - nowhere they might be seen by people whose opinions you care about ;) | 3% Wow! Price Went up by over One Fourth!!! July 9, 2015 The price has increased by over One Fourth!! For those of us with only a thin profit, this matters, particularly for boxes with only marginal quality control. I'll be shopping elsewhere for boxes in future. Small boxes August 8, 2014 I thought these boxes were going to be bigger than they actually were. I did find them somewhat useful in packing up my smaller items from the bathroom and other areas around the house, though. |
One Star Reviews: | 5% Really lousy boxes July 23, 2017 Over the years I have bought a lot of corrugated boxes, but these are the worst I have ever seen. Pure crap. The corrugated is really minimal quality; it gives recycling a bad name. The boxes assemble poorly; whoever laid out the die cutting should be reassigned to latrine duty. With a lot of extra tape they are barely usable, but I certainly will look for a different brand next time. I'm embarrassed to send things out in them but the tape covers the worst parts. Amazon has other brands - do yourself a favor and buy a different brand - any different brand. It is hard to imagine them being as bad as these. Whoever made these had absolutely no pride in their work. Tragic. Packing tape does not stick to it March 29, 2016 Packing tape does not stick to it. Even securing it with several layers of packing tape, it still comes off. Very disappointed, won't order these again. Poorly Made November 22, 2015 Boxes do not line up on the bottom nor top to make a neat closure. Cheap!! ... square and 6 inch square sizing and both were garbage. They were manufactured wrong and glued together incorrectly ... December 16, 2014 I bought these in both the 5inches square and 6 inch square sizing and both were garbage. They were manufactured wrong and glued together incorrectly leaving a huge cockeyed gap when tying to use. (Big enough that weather/dirt can go in, product can fall out) Ripping apart and putting together the correct way was not an option because I'm not looking for tacky with $$$ in tape to send out my items. I have learned my lesson on these to open and inspect even if I'm not out of my other supplies as the time frame to return has passed and I have 4 bundles of useless factory thirds. Get what you pay for. Total waste of money. May 11, 2014 Worst boxes I have ever bought. Sides don't line up so there are gaps in the corners of the box. ALL corners. Says crush tested but I don't believe it. I can crush the box with my bare hands if I try hard enough. Not worth the time or money to send them back. | 1% Tape doesn't stay adhered to box September 15, 2017 I ship daily with various boxes from various vendors and I use the same tape on all. Tape adheres to all the boxes I use EXCEPT this box. It sticks initially and then just pops off. Very frustrating and too unpredicatable to continue using. |
