Where can I get a box?

[Lord Stanley]

Okay, I am looking for a particular size box and I need it by Tuesday... What is around this area for stores that carry packing supplies? Staples has next to nothing, and I am going to check the post office tomorrow, although IIRC they do not stock the size I am looking for (16x10x4)... Do the UPS / Fedex stores sell boxes?

oh a packing box never mind:laugh:

Yea, I was hoping the title would catch everyone's attention ... I almost left out the "a" :laugh:

Yeah check out a local UPS Store or Kinkos.
I'm surprised Staples doesn't have what you need.

You may have to settle for a box that's close to what you need and use some stuffing material to get your item to fit snug.

The Staples in Londonderry only carries square boxes :nonono:

that's kinda small for a "moving" box, but check uhaul, they sell boxes.

Edit:
This is the only box that will fit your largest dimension (16"):

It would require some packing material inside.

Try a moving and storage place. They have all sizes and shapes (I used to be GM of one) for packing all sorts of odd items. An ironing board carton or picture pak could easily be trimmed down to fit that dimension.

U-Haul has tons of packing materials. Have you checked there?

oh wait...that was a shot at yourself..sorry

as for boxes, check out the USPS website, you can get free boxes sent right to your house, most of them are priority boxes, but they have a decent selection. i use them for shipping mesh.

 

[rouar]

Shipping what now?

Oh, you said mesh.....

Yea, I have a bunch of boxes from there, but they were just a little too small... I ended up finding a local UPS store and they had a size close enough...

Ya, you need to make sure the box fits your package as tightly as possible. A loose box may have side effects that damage the goods inside.

Good luck hunting for box. Make sure it's nice and thick so that it doesn't get all soggy and floppy when wet.
