No. PackagingPrice.com does not maintain a database of credit card numbers and names thereby eliminating the possibility of anyone obtaining your credit information for misuse from your account history information.
Do you share my email address with any other companies?
No. Our policy at PackagingPrice.com dictates that we do not share personal data about our customers with anyone outside of our company unless necessary for order processing (for example UPS or other carriers).
What is your shipping policy?
At PackagingPrice.com, we don't bury freight expenses into our material costs. You deserve to know what you are paying for materials as well as for freight. That is why we show you exactly what the freight charges are going to be before your order is finalized.
PackagingPrice.com ships all orders pre-paid and charges you for the shipping. All shipping charges are final, and are not estimates. You will not be charged any additional amounts after your order is finalized.
UPS is our preferred method of shipment. However, some of our items exceed UPS size and weight limitations, and thus can only be shipped via "Common Carrier Truck." If one item in your order is a "truck only" item, your entire order will be shipped via truck.
Common carrier and Our Local Truck” are dock to dock delivery. (Inside Delivery, Liftgate is required, or carrier must phone before delivery, customer will be responsible for these added charges)
Please also make sure to register as “residential” if you are a home based business or house, as registering as “commercial” would also incur added charges from the freight carrier and UPS
When will my order ship?
Most orders received by 5pm CST, will ship out the same day. We do not ship on weekends or holidays. Please add 1 - 2 days for truck (Common Carrier) shipments. PackagingPrice.com will notify you via email if any items are on back order.

How can I track my order?
There are two ways to track your orders:
1) PackagingPrice.com will email a shipment confirmation notification for all orders that ship via UPS. This email contains all the information necessary to track your shipment.
2) Simply call our customer service department at 888-236-1729, and one of our representatives will be happy to help you.
How are shipping costs calculated?
Shipping costs are based primarily on two factors. First, the items you are purchasing. Second, where the order is shipping. Our shopping cart calculates shipping costs based on the TOTAL weight of the order - not by individual items. Once we determine the total weight of an order, and combine this with the shipping classifications of each item ordered, we then can determine how many parcels the shipment will be. We always attempt to combine items in order to ship the fewest number of parcels.
If an order can ship via UPS, our system simply refers to the UPS shipping charts, and posts the total cost from UPS. However, if an order cannot be shipped via UPS, our system then refers to multiple Common Carrier rate charts, and selects the least expensive rate.
Our shipping calculator automatically selects the least expensive method of shipment. For example, an order of 10,000 4 x 4 x 4 boxes can be shipped via UPS, but would be much less expensive to ship via Common Carrier (truck).
