Hi Guys,

Please please help

I got a friend who wants a pogo stick, I am selling him one extra one that I've got. He lives in Italy. the pogo stick comes in it's original retail box from factory which has the dimensions of 100cm x 44cm x 17cm Now I had packed this with bubble wrap and cardboard wrap and made a really bad job of it, I don't think the courier would collect it. So I am after a proper box that I can buy as soon as possible which is affordable. Anyone know?

Do you think I even need a box?

The box that the pogo stick already comes in, is sealed tight, on the inside everything fits snug and there's nothing loose to move around. Can't I just wrap it in some brown paper?
 
Lots of parcel tape. Sorted.

How many pogo sticks do you have, anyway? It's not the sort of thing you generally have lying around, let alone ship to Italy. Can't he buy one? There must be at least one place in Italy that will sell him one - they're hardly expensive.
 
Tape up all the seams with parcel tape, wrap it in parcel paper, double wrap if you are paranoid.

Nip to a stationers or your local post office they'll have the garb needed.

On reading that - yeah...surely it is cheaper for him to buy a pogo stick in Italy?

Is there something special about your Pogo stick DVDBunny?

I have 4 pogo sticks. I had bought them for my family, mostly my cousins. I thought we would spend the days jumping around. They weren't interested in them. They have sat in the garage never opened. My friend got quite interested in them and said they weren't being sold in Italy. So I thought I would sell it to him. These are not your ordinary pogo sticks, these pogos can launch you over 8 feet into the air. They cost me a lot of money and I am selling at a lost to my friend. I just hope I can shift the other three. I didn't think anyone would be interested in them and so I hope these pogos won't need to sit in the garage gathering dust any longer.

I have already wrapped the pogo stick in bubble wrap and cardboard wrap and made a really bad attempt at that. Is there no need to use bubble wrap?

The problem is where do I get a roll of brown paper that is big enough for this pogo box. As we are talking of this pogo box being 100cm x 44cm x 17cm I would need paper of those dimensions. It would look very amateurish if I was to use different cut out pieces of brown paper to wrap it right?
 
Improvise, use more than one piece if you have to...

for thread randomness tho... :D
 
who cares if it looks amateurish?, you're sending it to your friend, its not like you are a company and sending it to a customer.

why would you package more packaging around the package ?

it got to you safely in the retail box so why wouldnt it get to your friend ?
