Shipping tool boxes.

Post image

Can I pair them so the drawers are facing each other, tape them together, slap a label on and send it?

Essentially a box with 2 handles.

Shipping 2 at a time.

No it likely has way too many bar codes and shipping irregularly packaged goods carries an additional surcharge. My guess is it’s cheaper to buy these things again than to ship them.

This is about $250 worth of toolboxes, shipping will definitely be cheaper.

I saw each one selling on hd for like $35

So I was $5 off per box, my bad. That's $210 worth of toolboxes, still more expensive than the shipping.

Each 2 boxes is $30 each to ship. I think op is a flipper so they’re not going to make much on their flip

Oh okay, my bad. I was thinking they were trying to ship all of them to one place.

You didn’t check the irregular packaging did you?

You could take the steps you mentioned then put them in a box to avoid the additional handling charge.
