    Why packers love Western Star

    Smart stewardship and beautiful, lasting gifts — together at last

    Everything you need to pack more meaningful boxes, without the store runs, the guesswork, or the worry that something won't make it through.

    • Prices that multiply your blessings

      Case-pack pricing stretches your budget further, so every dollar helps you reach another child with joy.

    • Curated by shoebox people, for shoebox people

      Deflated soccer balls ship with pumps. Toys pack without the worry of batteries. Everything fits a 12"×7"×4" box with room to spare.

    • Compliance you can rest easy on

      Every item is checked against the latest
      Shoebox guidelines, so everything you pack arrives just as you packed it — ready to delight.

      • A long table in a community room is lined with open shoeboxes containing red, green, and white soccer balls, along with assorted packaged items. Several people are standing and sitting along both sides of the table, organizing or packing supplies.

        Perfect for packing parties

        Sorted case packs and age & gender bundles make it a breeze to gather your church family and pack 50, 200, or even 5,000 boxes together — all from one friendly delivery.

        • Wonderful finds for every age

          Including the treasures older kids love most — tool sets, watches, solar calculators, and soccer balls for the hard-to-shop-for 10–14 crowd.

          We supply the foundation. The heart is all yours.

          You choose the theme — build the box around the child you're praying for.
          You write the letter — the words and the photo that make it personal.
          You pack every box — hand-picked, one gift at a time, just as it should be.

          Questions packers ask us most

          We offer free shipping on all orders over $300. Orders under $300 will incur a shipping charge up to $19.95, depending on the size of the order.

          When people buy from places like Amazon or Walmart, they still pay for shipping; it's just hidden in membership fees and higher prices.

          Instead of hiding our shipping costs, we charge a shipping fee for smaller orders. Small orders are more expensive to ship, so this helps offset the cost.

          Bulk orders are where we shine, and that's why we are able to offer free shipping on orders above $300. We encourage customers to combine orders with friends and family to save on shipping costs!

          Orders typically ship out within 10 business days unless it is a pre-order or back order. Please note that if you place a pre-order for an item, your entire order will be held until every item is in stock.

          Most orders will be shipped via UPS Ground. Transit time will be about 3-6 business days depending on your location.

          Smaller orders will be shipped via USPS First Class or USPS Priority Mail. Transit time is 4-7 business days depending on your location.

          Although any size ball is a wonderful gift for any child, here are our recommendations:

          Ages 2-4: Size 3
          Ages 5-9: Size 4 and 5 (both sizes are appropriate)
          Ages 10+: Size 5

          We offer 3 types of soccer balls:

          1) Our Standard Shoebox Ready Balls
          2) Our Premium Match Grade Balls
          3) Our Ultra Durable Rubber Balls

          Our Standard Shoebox Ready Ball is the perfect combination of durability and affordability. For the price, it can't be beat.

          Our Premium Match Grade Ball is a step up from the standard ball. This ball is upgraded in almost every way. The value in this ball is incredible and is better than anything else on the market, guaranteed!

          Our Ultra Durable Ball is the ideal balance of durability and affordability. For just a little more than our standard ball, you get a ball that can handle the roughest of play. This ball is a tank!

          Yes! All balls will ship deflated. This makes them easy to pack. Many customers like to roll up the deflated ball with a pump and other small filler items with rubber bands to maximize box space.

          Please email us immediately if you have any missing items! We will replace everything or provide you with a full refund.

          Sometimes, boxes are damaged during transit, which may lead to lost items. We do our best to package all of our items in a secure manner. If your box is damaged, please provide a picture of the damage. This helps us file claims with our carriers.

          Please note, if you do contact us within 30 days of delivery we will not be responsible for any missing items.

          While our website is the best way to place orders, we can certainly assist you over the phone. Feel free to call during our office hours for assistance, Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. (626) 292-7880.

          We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for a refund. Please note that buyers are responsible for return shipping. For a shipping quote, please email or call us.

          Bulk Discount pricing is available on our website and will automatically apply to your order.

          We recycle boxes! Not only is this eco-friendly, it also helps us keep costs down, which are savings we can then pass onto our customers.
