Guys, any idea where I can find a decent sized box (29", 18", 10")?

The local PO doesn't do boxes that big, nor do any of the local stationary stores.
I've had a look on-line and found two possible options, one is £33 for five and as I only need one I refuse to pay that much for a ****ing box. The other is £4.99 for one but then it want's £26 to deliver the box to me. I can only assume the box is being hand delivered by a playboy bunny at that price.

Any ideas where I can get a single large Cardboard box for a reasonable price?

I'd rather avoid trying any of the supermarkets or electronics shops as it seems to being standard practice to crush the boxes as soon as they are opened and I'd rather not send something in a box that's been pulled back into shape.


Cheers

Just the first thought that came to mind but my storage room sells single boxes if it's just one you need. Go to your local storage place (Big Yellow Storage, Shurgard etc). They may have one the sae you need. Then again, they may not. :lol:
 
Shops that sell school uniforms will be receiving stock for next school year so will have plenty of large spare boxes. I recently picked up a few myself and they are a perfect size for posting large SW goods like AT AT and Falcons etc.

Although you said you wish to avoid supermarkets, but I have found Sainsbury's helpful when asking one of the staff to get a large box. I've also gone to the extent of emptying some of the fruit boxes on the shelves just so I could nick the box, but I'm a cheeky bastard. Often never buying anything and leaving with a trolley of boxes. :D
