Shipping Supplies & Boxes in Madison, Alabama
Goin’ Postal Madison carries over 80 different box sizes — from small 4x4x4 mailers all the way up to 24x24x24 and beyond. We stock flat-rate boxes for USPS, FedEx, and UPS, along with bubble mailers, padded envelopes, packing tape, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and everything else you need to pack a shipment properly.
But what sets us apart is custom box solutions. We keep 4×8 foot double-corrugated sheets in store and can build or modify boxes on the spot — cutting down oversized boxes to reduce volume, combining boxes to increase length or width, or building entirely custom sizes for unusual shipments. A smaller box means lower volumetric weight, which often means lower shipping costs.

WHY BUY SHIPPING SUPPLIES AT GOIN’ POSTAL MADISON
Most people grab whatever box they have at home — often an old Amazon box — and assume it will work. While that may be fine for light items, heavier or fragile shipments need stronger packaging. Standard single-wall boxes aren’t designed for reshipping and can risk damage or even affect insurance coverage if something goes wrong.
Choosing the right box isn’t just about protection — it directly impacts your shipping cost. Carriers calculate rates based on both weight and package size (volume), not just how heavy the item is.
For example, a 5 lb item shipped in an oversized 24x24x24 box can cost significantly more than the same item in a properly sized box. Using the wrong size means paying extra for empty space.
That’s where we help — we guide you in selecting the right box or even modify one to perfectly fit your shipment, ensuring safety, proper packing, and cost savings every time.

Single-wall boxes — like most Amazon packaging — have one layer of corrugated material. They’re fine for light items but not suitable for heavy or fragile shipments. Double-wall boxes have two corrugated layers and are significantly stronger. For anything heavy, fragile, or high-value, double-wall is the right choice.
