No More Monkeys Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Price vs performance, this is the best packaging tape out there. Offer expires 2/22What's the original price? Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Around $24, in store only Edited January 29, 2015 by Darth_Raichu Quote
joch29 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I agree these are good and they last awhile. Some tapes including other variety of Scotch tapes don't stick as well over time. Quote
emazers Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 The Original price at Costco is $22.89 if you were to buy one roll at Walmart,Target,etc you pay about $5-6 so 8 rolls for $15.89 is a steal, I just got back from buying 5 packs thats 40 Rolls for $114.45, I would of gotten alot more but 5 is the limit each time, but will be getting alot more in the next few weeks.

toycrazedchris Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks for the post! Does anyone know if these are the 54yard rolls? If so, I just might have to get out to Costco, that is a steal. I've been paying around $3.25/roll, $1.98/roll is too good to pass up. Quote
toycrazedchris Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Uline $1.69 for 2"x110 Not a fair comparison. I do believe we are talking about 3.1 mil tape from 3M and Uline doesn't even sell a 110yard roll of their comparable 3.5mil. Edited January 29, 2015 by toycrazedchris Quote
justafrog Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 The Costco tape is my favorite, never use anything else. 1 Quote
brickolodon Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Usually i buy $1.oo one in Walmart, good for me.....anybody got pics...or link. Quote

I do believe we are talking about 3.1 mil tape from 3M and Uline doesn't even sell a 110yard roll of their comparable 3.5mil. I do a fair amount of volume and have no issues with Uline's tape. No reason to buy a higher quality tape if it's not needed. It's not like we are shipping heavy items. And even when I do combine for a big shipment, it holds up fine. Quote

I don't think the intent of the thread was to discuss merits of various tape, but for people who wanted this particular tape to find it at the best price possible. Quote
gmpirate Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 "Good for you"??? I just offered an alternative and offered more detail upon your prompt. I see nothing wrong with offering something else to consider. Quote

However, I do not have any uline store near me or a business account with them. Their shipping are usually prohibitively expensive for something that I would have to try first. On the other hand, I go to Costco regularly and this particular tape is cheaper but better than most tapes sold by Walmarts and Targets. 1 Quote

EdThe Total for 40 Rolls of Tape from Costco was $79.45 on sale the regular price would of been $114.45 Quote
Migration Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I just looked at this on my phone and all it said was $7.00 off Scotch. Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch. I love scotch. Tape. 2 Quote
BrickU Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Good Deal! What the heck you guys taping, Fort Knox!? I'll just stick to Meijers Duck EZ Start 55 yard for $3.59+ tax after Mperks. Quote
Cross Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I just wish they would apply the same discount to Scotch (the beverage) as well. Quote
imirish11 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Don't forget to take advantage of this offer before it expires. Can anyone confirm this deal will be valid on the 22nd? I don't have the coupon booklet on hand, and for some reason thought today was the last day for the offer. I'm bummed I can't make it to Costco today, I wanted to pick up 1 or 2 more cases with my Costco rewards. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 It's false economy to use crap tape and I only ever use 3M (Scotch) packing and clear tape. In the UK, Costco is the cheapest place to buy this along with bubble wrap and good padded envelopes. It's a shame that I no longer see LEGO for sale at Costco (the Reading branch) as they used to have good value muilt-sets. If you ever use a stapler, by Rexell and nothing else. Nothing turns me into a green-skinned, bad-tempered, violent psychopath more than a cheap jammed stapler! I've found most packing materials on eBay UK to be junk and it only makes more work. Quote
exciter1 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Another opinion, cheaper options work fine. Quote
