You notice the Uline logo in the background. Wonder why JD Vance is standing in front of it? It's because Uline is one of the biggest donors to the GOP. In 2024 they spent over $146 million on Republicans.

Genuinely what is the alternative to them? Like, is there another company that offers standardized shelving/totes/general logistics supplies that isn't also in bed with republicans (and maybe isn't as awful to their workers as uline)?

I've used upaknship in the past. I find bigger boxes at Staples if you buy 5 it's way cheaper. I've heard American bubble boy is good for bubble wrap, but if you're shipping a lot you should get a machine.

I'm thinking more for like, warehouse type stuff. Not so much for shipping as storage/organization.

I would try to find bulk straight from the manufacturer if it's things like shrink wrap or slip sheets or whatever. Uline is just a middleman.

copied from another comment in this thread, maybe this helps? https://refuseuline.com/#resources

Yes, that helps a lot. Knowing that Grainger/McMaster-Carr aren't throwing money behind neo-nazis is a big help.
