After you place an order with the merchant, we contact the merchant to confirm that they are OK with the specific appoinment time and have enough inventory on hand to fill your order. Some merchants are businesses with invariable hours and large amounts of boxes. Since there is a near certainty that they will be available and will have enough inventory they can elect to have orders confirmed automatically. This avoids hassle for the merchant and eliminates the delay for you. If you need your boxes very quickly you may prefer to buy from a merchant with Auto-Confirm turned on. We still notify the merchant of your order the same way, we just don't wait for their confirmation.
This is the smallest order you can place with this merchant. We require a minimum order of $2 and default to $10. Each merchant can set their own minimum order.

Although average response time can be very useful for determining the likely speed of response, it's important to take into account the number of transactions that form the averages. Time of Last Activity should also be considered, especially when there is a very small number of transactions.
Indicates how long it has been since last activity by this seller.
Long, even multi-year, periods of inactivity do not necessarily mean that the listing should be avoided since many sellers get boxes continuously or store them permanently. However, issues are more likely and buyers should leave themselves more time to make alternate arrangements if necessary.
NOTE: Last Activity is only shown for sellers who do not have sufficient recent order history.
You can pay this seller in cash on pickup, along with electronic options offered by BoxCycle. Even though you'll pay on pickup, you still need to place your order online.
