Stopped buying from Uline once I realized (A) US money funnel, plus (B) Trump supporter with extremist views.

Only Canadian owned alternative I found was Whitebird, but their catalogue isn’t as large. Any other options?

    I get a Uline catalog in the mail each year, but have no idea why I’m on their mailing list. Flipping through it, the items seem quite expensive for what they are.

      Everything Uline sells is cheaper elsewhere, often by a long shot. They exist because they are convenient for purchasers and because they send swag for the warehouse crew to steal.

      They literally go through public directories and send them to anyone who might have any sort of purchasing power.

      At every job I’ve worked at as an admin, we will get 5-10 each year addressed to any manager, facilities, or finance person of any sort.

      I make sure I remove their names using the unsubscribe thing every year, and then the next year they’ll send another addressed to a whole new group of people.

      I fucking hate uline.
