Post on your local craigslist or freecycle wanting egg cartons. People will be happy to save them for you.

EggBoxes.com may have free shipping but chances are whatever they send you isn't going to be what you ordered.. then when you call them up to complain they are going to act like its not that big of a deal.

Their customer service is horrible at best. They try to copy eggcartons.com by getting a website name that is close to it (eggcartonsonline.com is really eggboxes.com too)

why would i ever shop that the fake store when I can go to EggCartons.com talk to some great people and actually get what I ordered?

Good luck to anyone who shops at eggboxes.com aka eggcartonsonline.com, you will need it!!!

Hello,I myself,sell my eggs locally and hate the added expense of an eggcarton,but being a caterer,and use them,plus being in Canada! We need clean unused cartons,labels,labels labels!!!Bilingual,certain size lettering on each inset.Plus we have to take them to a grading station at another cost and package them ourselves.All I want to do is sell the eggs to cover the costs of feed and maybe some upkeep and additions to the coups,but man!Is it hard.There is nothing in Canada,that I have found that can compare to Eggcartons.com but with every order I have had problems.I'm not trying to make a million(and know I won't),it's just nice to cover the cost of putting so much work into a product that so many people enjoy to eat.I wish it would be affordable in the sense of reusing cartons to cut costs but because of rules and regulations in our area it is impossible.Still love doing what I do!But the "Sky Is Falling".Chicken Little.

I didn't read all the thread so forgive me if this is redundant...

I buy from eggcartons.com.
Until the end of the month, they're having free shipping if you put "pirate" in the code section at checkout.

I usually buy 500 a time which lasts me a year plus some to sell at swaps. I am loading up!!!

I live on a chicken farm so I never run out of egg cartons. We only pay around .05 cents for the cartons with our printed labels etc. The reason they are so expensive is becasue of the printing plates they have to use so they want to do them in large quanities. I make my own labels using a label maker the farm has. I put all my information on them and just cover up the carton below them. You could buy blank cartons and then put your own label on them. There are people on byc that make them. or if yoru interested I could print them on our machine but its only black and white but I beleve it would probalby be less than .25 cents per label at most. probably around .04-.09 cents for me to print them. just message me if your interested. I go through over 5,000 egg cartons a year and maybe get less than 5% of them back which I just relabel over the old label since I print the exp date right on them. Good luck finding a cheap supplier but if yoru actually looking for yoru own printed carton it will cost a wing and a chicken leg. (pun intented)

I bought the PrintMaster software from one of the office mega stores. It does bday cards, labels, etc. I made my own labels for awhile but was spending a FORTUNE in ink. Plus, it wasn't water proof and smudged in the 'fridge with the humidity. Bummer!

Our local Tractor Supply Co. sells us dozen cartons for 20 cents each. They are cardboard and say "Farm Fress Eggs." Maybe yours has them, too!

I just bought 400 cartons for $120 at eggboxes.com They had the best price with free shipping. This was my second purchase from them and I have no complaints except that the shipping is slow through the post office(not there fault). I think it took 10-12 days to get mine but its worth the wait. It works out to be $.30 per carton for foam which in my case i get back about 30% and they can be reused. Paper ones rarely can make a second delivery.

Mmm, eggboxes have great prices. Too bad they don't carry the 4x3 clears, though. I love those. Recyclable, too.

Your TSC is better than mine! They charge .49 cents each here in Kentucky.
