Are there any sites that sell custom made shipping boxes ?.

[uscmhicks]

Sounds a little silly I suppose but I've got a few figures for sale and no cardboard shipping boxes for them. I've seen one site but the price for a cardbaord box in the end was a joke.

Any ideas on where I could pick a few up for free or are there any sites that don't charge so much ?.

The problem seems to be finding the right size , I saw a few boxes at a local shop and the owner would have given them to me but they were way to big and when they're going overseas the price difference due to the size would be huge.

EDIT :

Oh and anything that I've recently sold , don't worry I had boxes for all of those and they'll be going out to you all today.

There's some good sellers on eBay that sell all sorts of varying sized boxes. I've bought some good ones before now, double ply strong boxes and some are really good.

You can also just go to your local shop/supermarket and get some good ones from them for free, just ask someone in there for ones they are not using as they will only be thrown away/recycled anyway. They are obviously not custom but still good to use.

Hicksy, try getting big cardboard boxes and make your own. I've done it. You just cut the box down and fold it where you need too. It's tricky, but better than putting money into new boxes.

Yeah the UPS stoe sells boxes like that , same idea , you can adjust the size of the box by just cutting the corners and folding . Try the https://www.theupsstore.com/logistics/Pages/index.html?gclid=CPCWz4WTq6cCFcbc4AodlSxTCg UPS STORE if they ship out supplies but check it out

Asda are a VERY good source
That's who I raided when up in Glasgow and they were terrific, they loved the fact I wanted all their empty boxes

yep, i've done that lots, go to the local recyle center and they have lost of large cardboard pieces to make your own boxes. just like wrapping up a christmas present.
