Both boxes are 200 LB test. Officemax has the product no matter what the quantity order at 79 cents each. Uline has it with a small quantity of 25 at 24 cents each.

This is a huge difference. Anyhow, I was buying shipping boxes from officemax, Officedepot, Staples, etc. I know buy them from Uiline.
