I need a cardboard box please

Bald-Eagle22 · 25 Jul 2011 at 09:40

Guys ,

No I have not been made homeless just yet.

I have to ship a rather large parel but aslo need to box it up as well .

83CMX57CMX52CM WEIGHT OF 20KG.

Without being a total tramp and scooting around the boxes at the rear of currys has anyone got a suggestion ?

Yes.

You won't find one on an internet forum. Trying leaving your chair and looking outside.

Hmmm, that is a pretty huge box...
Try Staples or other office-supplies stores, especially if they have a "shipping stuff" desk, they usually sell packaging materials.

If it was smaller i would have suggested the PO but their boxes don't go that big afaik.

Staples have boxes smaller than that TBH, well when I tried to post a large item (laptop + bits) the DHL desk there didn't have a big enough box.

Go to your local super market and ask for a box, all they do is bin them anyway.

Think you might have to tramp this one up.

If you have no luck anywhere else then you can purchase large boxes from most self-storage warehouses.

DIY stores like Homebase normally have them free to take away at the front. Better than a supermarket for bigger boxes.

phone your local bike shop

Self storage places sell them.

a self storage facility will usually sell these and hefty ones at that. Probably £2-4 for one that size.

due to the weight you may want to reinforce the base & sides with some sytrofoam (insulation board) which you can get from B&Q/Wickes at £2-6 per sheet depending on thickness.
