I'm a little odd at times.... actually most of the time. Especially when it comes to buying presents. It never fails that no matter what I buy or who I buy it for, it's never something that I can ship in any of the boxes I have laying around from past purchases (I'm something of a pack rat). Case in point - this past Christmas. I purchased a gift for my sister (and after many delays in shipping, it finally arrived). The box that was used to get it to me looked liked it was drop kicked in a football game (several football games actually). There was no way on God's green Earth that I was going to reuse that box to ship it to my sister (I don't think it could handle the trip personally). The item was such an odd size, I knew none of boxes I already had in my possession would work, what was I to do? I was afraid I would have to go and buy a much larger box than I needed (and then have to cut it down to size - which I had done before in the past). Before I decided to re-walk down that thorny path, I would try and Google a solution - thus I found EcoBox (cue the Angelic chorus).
After looking at the multitude of boxes they have available on their website - I found the perfect box!(see I knew that chorus would be useful someday) So I went to their store and inquired about purchasing that particular box. The person I spoke to was quite friendly and knowledgeable but on the downside they were out of stock on my box I wanted (cue the ominous duh-duh-duhh). They said they were getting a shipment in the next day and if it wasn't in that shipment they would order it for me (I wasn't pressed for time so that was fine by me). I gave them my contact info and left.
By the time I got home there was a message from EcoBox letting me know that they found a similar box in stock (only an inch wider) and if I wanted to they would see me that box at the same price as the box I originally wanted. So I went over and checked it out (and in all honesty, it was probably a better box than my original choice) and purchased their offer. My sister will be happy with her gift (I hope) and I know I am happy with the way it will be arriving.
With a staff this friendly and service this good, I will definitely be using EcoBox again, and I recommend that you do too. read more
