Uline is North America's leading distributor of shipping, industrial, and packaging materials. Founded in 1980 by Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein in their basement, the company has grown into a multi-billion dollar enterprise that ships same-day from 13 strategically located distribution centers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Uline stocks over 43,000 products across multiple categories including corrugated boxes in over 1,850 sizes, poly bags, bubble wrap, stretch film, tape, labels, warehouse equipment, safety supplies, janitorial products, and office supplies. Their massive inventory and distribution network enable same-day shipping on most orders placed by 6 PM local time.
Third-party logistics providers rely on Uline for several key reasons: First, their extensive inventory means 3PLs can source virtually all packaging and shipping supplies from a single vendor, simplifying procurement. Second, the same-day shipping capability is critical for fulfillment operations that can't afford to wait for supplies. Third, Uline's quantity pricing and business accounts offer significant cost savings at scale. Fourth, their 800+ page catalog (both print and online) makes it easy to find and specify products.
Uline is known for exceptional customer service with dedicated account representatives for business customers. They offer free samples on many products, allowing 3PLs to test materials before committing to large orders. Their website features detailed product specifications, compatibility guides, and packaging calculators to help customers make informed decisions.
Uline operates on a volume-based pricing model with quantity discounts. Business accounts receive additional benefits including net payment terms, dedicated support, and access to special pricing. While not always the cheapest option, Uline's reliability, inventory depth, and service quality make them a preferred vendor for operations where supply chain consistency is paramount.
