I use coupon codes in my advertising. This lets me track where my
advertising is working. And in that context, if a person gets a coupon
code out of their local newspaper and passes it on to a friend to use,
it's quite acceptable to me since that newspaper ad was responsible for
bringing them in. I can trace that sale to that newspaper, even though
it's 2nd hand.

Wow! You've got a big one!

I don't get any special deals from them. Just go to www.uline.com and
take a look around. Their only requirement as to who they sell to is
that you have money! :-)
