In praise of Drawboxes

[mikenyc]

I just got my response and the shipping for a 5 pack to NY is about $27. I need about 15 and 4 CGC boxes. $100 bucks shipping for new boxes, hurts my taint. They are amazing though.

are the long boxes about the same size as a regular long box?

 

They're a little shorter than a standard long box.

 

And, oddly enough, the Drawerbox short boxes are longer than a regular short box :shrug:

At one time I have about 10,000 books.

 

Then I threw away all my Ditko books & was thereby able to scale back to about 10,000 books.

Check the Store Locator page on the Drawerbox site to see if any of your local/semi-local stores carry the boxes - I found a store a couple of hours south of me that had them in stock; saved me a boat-load of money in shipping costs.

I use them too, they are great! I have 16 short boxes about full....4 X 4 in my walk in closet. They are all bronze/copper and modern but I love them. Easy access is great.

That was the size of my original order, as well.

The closest store to us that carries them is out in St James, and a 5 pack is $60 plus NY sales tax., so when you consider time spent and gas, ordering direct is cheaper than going to a retail store.

Order 100 and save more money...

 

Split it with people in your area.

Your UPS guy will love you longtime for that. They come in huge oversized boxes.

When I ordered 100 last time it came via freight on a Pallet.

 

Cheaper I think...

Yes, I would talk with Drawer Box people about shipping, they know the cheapest way to ship. You might even want to talk to retailers in the area, as they might be willing to combine orders with you to sell some at the store.

 

If I hadn't bought all new long boxes a few years ago I'd get them myself. Hell, I'd still consider getting them if I could find an really good deal on them.
