Insulated Foam Shipping Containers?

I wanted to know where's a good place to order foam shipping containers. I know some members use them for trading and selling corals but was wondering where do you get them.

Thanks in advance,
Mel

Im sure you can get them at any shipping company like UPS etc. I usually use my old ones that I get when I order online.

I tried the local delivery services including UPS and Fedex and none had them. I even called packaging and materials. They didn't have any.

Thanks,

No help on shipping coolers, but a cheap thermos works well.

Just check out the LFS. They usually get a dozen or so of differing sizes each week. And since they don't do a lot of shipping out, they may be more than happy to give you one for free. That's what I have done in the past.

dogstar,

I actually did that today and got some free baggies with it.

Thanks,

They are a little on the expensive side unless you get a big order...

Still on the expensive side but you can get the exact size you need along with a shipping box.
