Having to remind sellers to not use Uline is a mark of time passing for me. This company has always supported right wing shit, never stop reminding people not to use them. There’s always new sellers who haven’t heard. Sharing how you make and sell is how we keep doing - ThreadSky

I'm one of those that hadn't heard. We'll stop effective immediately. Perks of being CEO.

pamwishbow.bsky.social•116 days ago

Hell yeah, use what you got!

I just recently placed an order through them for my day job (not my choice) and you can get free gifts with certain purchase tiers. One is political tshirts but they only have republican themed ones where I am 💀

Good to know

I use uline’s catalog as an reference and try to look for the same somewhere else. I get it for free and use it to search the tags they use. On twitter there was a thread that linked alts

galenker.bsky.social•122 days ago

It's really too bad about their politics. I've always loved their catalog as a resource for "what do you call that thing?" moments.

elizajoku.bsky.social•122 days ago

Have you seen McMaster-Carr's catalog? Not many print versions around, but the website works really well.

galenker.bsky.social•122 days ago

Ooh, thanks. Bookmarked.

As a CAD and industrial designer, McMaster is a GLORIOUS resource. They have CAD files of almost everything they sell, which is massively useful when designing. Want to add those M12x1.25 50mm bolts to your design? Easy peasy.

pamwishbow.bsky.social•122 days ago

I know exactly what you mean by this

singhitis.bsky.social•114 days ago

They keep sending me their huge phone book size catalog in the mail. I get a great satisfaction from throwing it straight in the bin.

quick13.bsky.social•114 days ago

Really need to look at how they gained the pure monopoly on cardboard boxes. Its pretty scary.

Also, don't use StickerMule foe stickers. The owner is all in for Trump.

sintendo69.com•121 days ago

I just realized my typo.

Freudian slip 👍🏾

No Uline and now No Amazon. It will raise the cost of shipping for my bedroom business, but doing the right thing is more important.

cliftonb.bsky.social•122 days ago

Thank you for caring enough to want a better alternative. I've been adding things to my boycott list for decades, and honestly, once you get in the swing of it, adding to the list isn't all that difficult.

The world will constantly nag you to go the easy route, but you can be better than that.

pamwishbow.bsky.social•122 days ago

That's the cost of business <3

sintendo69.com•122 days ago

Definitely the cost of ethical business! ❤️

delatrya.bsky.social•122 days ago

I don’t even know what Uline offers as a service. Time to dig into this a bit

delatrya.bsky.social•122 days ago

Oh yea, fuck them, it if they’re involved in shipping, how do we avoid using their services from the time it leaves where we buy the item to final delivery?

episerv.link•121 days ago

Woah I never knew about this! My old job all the packaging was Uline. Their tape dispensers CANNOT hold up to packaging 200 orders per day.

emilyschnall.bsky.social•114 days ago

Oh my god I remember looking through their catalog years ago and coming across some insane rant by the owner in the back, stopped ordering from them quick

neil-ramsay.com•114 days ago

I wish I could get them to stop sending me catalogues. Such a massive waste of paper for stuff that goes directly in the recycle bin.

exxzackly.bsky.social•122 days ago

I didn't know this, thanks for sharing

markmadsen.bsky.social•114 days ago

Didn’t know this.

uline does merch? they supply most of my janitorial equipment lol

pamwishbow.bsky.social•121 days ago

They produce shipping materials which is more what online sellers will encounter

yowahoshihime.bsky.social•120 days ago

Oh wow I never knew that. I've been using the boxery for well over a decade now since they have lower minimum orders and are I'm in the 1 day delivery zone.

secretlentil.bsky.social•122 days ago

Thanks for sharing this. I still have boxes of theirs left that someone gave me, so I try to remember to cover their name with packing tape. It makes me feel better.

pamwishbow.bsky.social•122 days ago

Hell yeah, use what you got but don't give them the free ad

tinghram.bsky.social•114 days ago

Had no idea. One more reason to hate them. The first is I’m a postal worker and those catalogue bundles get heavy. Talk about the stack that broke the camel’s back

nyanbinarydruid.bsky.social•113 days ago

Well shit, thanks! The more you know

gcm0rais.bsky.social•121 days ago

So basically they gave money to Republicans... are they supposed to give it to Obama, after he tried to kill Ed Snowden. Just this single act of evil turns the "Democrat" party into a unworthy cause.

chibikim.bsky.social•122 days ago

We get those crap catalogs in the mail at work. We toss them in the trash along with the other junk mail we get everyday. We use staples.

scihoss.bsky.social•121 days ago

I e never heard of this, but it’s definitely unsurprising.

savean.bzky.team•122 days ago

I noticed some Uline stickers on things at work and talked to the boss about it.

Unfortunately, the owner is a bit of a right wing nutjob so it's hard to say if anything will be done about it.

pamwishbow.bsky.social•122 days ago

best of luck, talking someone into trying anything new is hard enough
