    I recently helped my sister in law start working at home with an ebay business.
    She needs boxes to ship her items.
    Approximate box size is 16x12x6,
    All the ones that Im finding are way too big or way too small.
    Does anyone know where I can find a large selection of shipping boxes in Houston???
    Online would do, but I need some for her quick!!! so local would be better.

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure how professional you are trying to go, but you can find boxes of just about any size at 24-hour Wal-Marts later at night when they stock the shelves.

    Not sure though, give them a holler

    http://ebaysupplies.usps.com/default.htm (a direct link to the USPS site that UTWeezer was referring to)

    not quick but free. for later use perhaps. Please note these are for priority mail and the first two are flat rate boxes that cost $7.70 regardless of weight.

    I have hundreds of USPS Priority boxes of all shapes and sizes sitting in my garage... USPS Priority is easily the best shipping method for busy ebay sellers, can't beat free packing materials.

    none of those boxes fit the product.
    product is a make up kit slightly larger than a shoe box.

    ULINE.COM is what I use. I sell shoes on eBay and you can find boxes that fit perfectly. Plus, they are cheaper than everyone else.
