I've scoured the internet for bulk egg cartons to sell eggs and the prices are incredible. I finally found one that was less than $0.20 per so I start an account and go through the checkout routine only to find they want to charge me $88.00 for UPS Ground shipping on 800 cartons. So much for less than $0.20 per.
We have traditionally sold ours in re-used cartons we get from our local sheltered workshop/recycle center or from a health food store that buys our eggs. I just wanted to add a nicety to our product by having our own label.
Anybody know of a good supplier for unused cartons that doesn't overcharge or skin you on shipping charge markups?
Mine are currently cheaper than brown eggs at Walmart and mine are true free range. I'll never be able to keep prices reasonable if cartons are that expensive. I also can't afford to buy pallet loads (those are around $0.07 per carton but you have to buy about $10,000 worth).
HELP!!
