In the world of big shipping getting the right deal is pretty important.  I have been in the business world for a long time and know that in order to get a good deal you don’t have to order an insane amount of items. It really comes down to the location you are going to purchase from and the ability to communicate with sales people.  It can also be as simple as knowing that you don't have to take the first deal you get. Knowing when to say that sounds like a good deal and then not taking it is just as important.  Because now that you have one good deal under your belt you can use it to find a better one. 

Being able to negotiate for you shipping supplies is a pretty big part of making a lot of money on the backend.  This is really important if you end up using lots of packaging over the long haul of your company. The first step is to locate a company that has the products that you need. This could be a brick and mortar store or also an online company as well. There are a lot a great packaging companies out there that have lots of different products that will most likely fit your needs.  Now give them a call and get right into the details of what packages will work best for you. Or if it is a plethora of shipping supplies work out exactly what you will need and the quantity you will be needing for the foreseeable future. 

Ask the company about what differences they will give if you buy more of one product.  And then start to bundle the products. Find out what they will do if you bundle multiple products together and buy them in larger quantities. Then once you have a good price get it in a quote and sent to you.  Don't fall for the, this is a one time offer deal.  That is almost always a lie to entice you to make your purchase then.  If they don’t give you that deal later then they are a bad company to work with to begin with.

Now take that offer to the next company and see what you can get out of them. If they will beat the price and terms then you have a winner and if they don’t you can always go back to the original company.
