auctionpax - on ebay - have used them for ages and they offer great prices and free P&P, items arrive within days too.
Cannot recommend them highly enough )

It really depends how many you intend to use and how much you can store at one time. One of the cheapest sources is Viking Direct see:

http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/home.do?browsemode=business&storemode=yes

They do boxes of 50 or 100 delivered to your door next day and they quite often have 3 for 2 special offers. Minimum order for free delivery is £ 30.

The A4 size works out about 12 - 13p each.

You often get a free gitft as well!

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. They seem very cheap and I was tempted to use them. But as I started going through the check out process, I realised that this site was for businesses only. They have a link to their site for home customers and on there, the same products are roughly 80% more expensive, plus the freebies / special offers have disappeared.
For example, 3 boxes of 240x330mm padded envelopes were going to cost about £23 ex VAT on the business site, plus I was going to get a free extra box of padded envelope to choose from a selection. On the 'home' site, the same envelopes would be £40 and no free extra box of envelopes.
Can you tell me if I need to be a registered business to qualify to purchase from their 'business' site?
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks,
Phil

It does help, as I'm ripping my hair out on my quest to find the cheapest padded envelopes!
Very relaxing...
