AviditiCorrugated Mailing Mailer Boxes Small 7" x 5" x 4" (50 Pack) Cardboard Shipping Box for Packaging Moving Packing Storage - White, 50 Pack

Previously I would have given these boxes a 5 star rating. I know they can be a bit rough around the edges and are packed and shipped only bundled and wrapped in overwrap. But they've suited my purpose and been of good quality. However, with my last purchase in March I bought 2 bundles of 50. I sell online and just needed to open the second bundle today. Approximately 1/3 of the boxes are defective, with over 1/5 of them being unusable. The white layer is improperly affixed and wrinkling and peeling off. Corrugated gets its strength from the layering... remove a layer and it just crumples. If I had opened both bundles immediately I would have caught the issue and requested a refund. I'm past the window now and am short 12 boxes that I can't use. Word to buyers - INSPECT your entire order upon receipt. Cut the bundle tie - these boxes were in the interior of the bundle and not visible as defective until the stack was separated.UPDATE!!! 12/5/2019 Well, I thought despite my last quality issue, that I would try again. This time I bought just (1) 50 pack of the M432 mailing boxes. Quality has plummeted again. Corrugated cardboard is about half as thick as before and the paper covering is different, with a noticeable off-white tinge. I could deal with the less clean, cheaper-looking color, but it's a much flimsier. Just handling the cardboard to assemble it causes it to bend and give. It feels like you're handling cereal box board. Once assembled it feels less sturdy. This doesn't seem to be a cut in material quantity as both boxes weighed 35g, but more of a compressing/flattening of the corrugation. As mentioned in my earlier review, good corrugation quality is what gives the material strength. Ugh. So done with this product.

This is the biggest box I'm aware of that fits inside the USPS flat rate priority bubble mailer that costs 7.75 to ship anywhere in the US.

I feel like each time I order these boxes the quality decreases. This time a number of the boxes showed up smashed and torn, which makes them almost unusable. I continue to order because I haven't found a good replacement for size, but this batch might just be the last.

These 522s are good enough boxes, although usually a couple of them are damaged when I receive them. That's really not an issue when they're $9.60/50, but when they're $18.66/50 (like they are at the time of this review) or more, that's a different story. That's really the most frustrating thing about this product: the price varies wildly from month to month. I wish Aviditi could get some consistent pricing with these things. Most of the people buying these boxes are trying to run small businesses, and it's very frustrating having to deal with such a variable cost when it would seem that the price should be fairly consistent. But anyway, if you can find these at a reasonable price, and with the free shipping, it's a good little box.

I ordered these boxes when the price was much lower. When they arrived, many of them were damaged and unusable as shipping boxes (bent corners, didn’t fold together correctly). Now that I see the price has doubled, I definitely would not pay the current price for the quality I received. The boxes are actually slightly different than the ones pictured. The tongue is much shorter and doesn’t provide as much protection.

My small business uses these mailers pretty much exclusively for any first class mail we send domestic or international. If I'm not using a flat rate box I'm using one of these. Across a thousand or so shipments I've never had a problem with them being damaged to the point of losing product. Some of the more recent batches haven't folded quite as cleanly as far as the tabs locking in but a quick nudge and they're good to go. The price is certainly right! Quick tip: Rather than pay for high dollar custom printed boxes... Get yourself a stamp and just stamp these. The look of custom boxes for a fraction of the price!

This used to be my specialty. You know, I was good with boxes.....They'd send me in there, and I'd do it alone. And now I just...But tonight, my little project, my company had a very big night -- a very, very big night.But it wasn't complete, wasn't nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn't share it with these boxes. I couldn't hear your voice or laugh about it with you. I miss my -- I missed my boxesWe live in a cynical world, a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors.I love you box... You -- complete me.

I previously purchased boxes in the same size from Papermart. I was looking for an alternative due to the high cost of shipping with that company. These shipped simply wrapped in a saran-type wrapping, so I can see how some may complain they're damaged in shipping. Mine arrived unscathed, but I do have some concerns that other shipments may not, as UPS seems to really put my packages through the wringer. These are not as strong as the boxes I would purchase from Papermart and seem to have some inconsistencies in the density of the corrugate. I have a rubber stamp that I use on the inside flap of each box and with my usual boxes I do not have an issue with the design stamping, but with these there seemed to be an area that was lower than the rest and would not take the stamp, making my design incomplete and requiring me to take extra time to fill in the missing area. No matter what I tried, it was just too "low" in spots. These also don't seem to fit together as well as the others I've gotten elsewhere. On some it seems like the flaps on the bottom butted up against each other and so, when assembled, the box butted out at the bottom sides. However, there is also a significant savings with these boxes, so if I can figure out a way to make the stamping work efficiently and they can continue to arrive undamaged then they do seem to work as shipping boxes.
