  • Shipping boxes for RR-sized cases?

    Where can I buy 'em? No music stores to raid here in the hinterlands and the usual suspects (ULine, etc.) don't carry the size I'd like to have (minimum 52 x 22 x 7.5 so I can bubble wrap the cases). Any ideas?

    Make a case out of other smaller boxes.

      +1 - 2 regular boxes, a box cutter and some tape should be all you need...

        Bike store. Appliance store. Both of those will have large boxes and should be willing to give them away.

          Thanks for the suggestions but I'm really looking for a place like ULine where I can just have 'em shipped here. Out here on the perimeter there are no stars, err, I mean no bike shops. Maybe one within an hour and I'm a bit short on time these days.

          Most places have 50 x 20 x 8 but V / RR cases themselves are 50 x 21 (-ish with feet & handle). There must be a source, I've just been unable to locate it.

              Yeah I'd placed on order with those guys last night but was hoping to find something I wouldn't have to cut down. Caught them just ahead of shipment and added a few of these:

              to the order. A bit larger than I really wanted but, as I was alreayd paying freight on my initial order, shipping was free which is always a good thing.

                Bike store.
                The boxes are slightly heavier material than guitar boxes and most bike stores will just give them away.
