I know where you are coming from!!! But remember their are more than one way to recover operating cost. Used to the mark up on goods was enough to cover boxes and freight. Now suppliers are so competitive they would scare you off if they added it in. I know I go through 3K - 4K in boxes tape a year so it makes a difference in your bottom line.
