It's unbelievable what supply's cost now a days. I need a 3200ct box. Bcw has them for a decent price but shipping is crazy. Went to ebay, and like omg they were worse. I know supply and demand, but come on, its a box. End of rant. Happy collecting

I've started to use this place. https://columbiahobby.com/. The shipping seems to plateau at a certain point I have noticed..

I was able to find a local shop to buy a 3200 count box, marked at $7.00, but sold for $8.00 (she said she hadn't had time to change the price). Prior to that I'd paid $5.00 for the same thing at the same place under a previous owner in late 2019.

Yes, buying a single box online is expensive. If you need multiples check Bags Unlimited.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

It's not cost-effective to buy one box. The problem with the shipping is the box is flat and you have to fold it to make it. It's the size that is making the cost of shipping one so much for you.
Have you looked at plastic ones?

What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :) |

I get my 800ct and 5K boxes from the below location (link is for 3200ct). They are bundled, not single box. Note that they are NOT BCW, but the Collect*Save*Protect brand. I have never had an issue that brand.

I can vouch for Matt's Baseball. That's where I get all of my boxes. I also have the advantage of it only being 15 minutes away, so I can pick up instead of paying for shipping. But I've been getting my supplies from there for years with no issue.
