The article makes a really important point:
Reble said he became aware of Uline’s support for Trump through an Etee customer.
This shows the power of contacting companies who are still using Uline. If you receive a product shipped with Uline products please contact the company and tell them that there are lower cost and more ethical alternatives to Uline.
For example here: https://bsky.app/profile/geneha.com/post/3low65f4zac2d a Canadian man was able to literally cut his costs in half by switching away from Uline.
The website https://refuseuline.com/ has a list of Canadian alternatives to Uline. Scroll down to the section labeled “WHAT ABOUT CANADA?”.
I’ve never liked Uline. Their prices always seem to be way higher than they should be. The only reason to ever use them is for a product you can’t find anywhere else - and even then it’s worth taking a second or third look first.
And making sure the product is a need rather than a want. I have significantly reduced spending since canceling Amazon.
While it doesn’t say much for “previous-me”, I am being more deliberate in my purchases as I look for Canadian options.
