Boxes for Posting a RIF

[Barny]

Has anyone found a suitable box online that can be bought to post a rif in.

CM16 Raider i'm gifting to a friend with some surplus get him started gear, needs to be about 85cm long, flat and wide ish  .

Normally id use stuff at work and create/build a box to suit,  but sadly that's not an option. 

Popped into skirmish to ask if they had anything but sadly no

Packing boxes might do rather than postage boxes

(Quite strong ones for moving home etc) but I think the trend is lighter / weaker boxes that I wouldn’t fully trust.

Veg box trays in Lidl’s etc are good and strong.  A couple or those, a knife, some bubble wrap, a bin bag and tape should get you to a good start

But the safer and more survivable the package is the heavier and higher the cost to send it will be

I tend to get a couple of boxes and cut and tape them together to get boxes big/wide/long enough for the various bits n bobs I post out.

I have sent some very strange shape and looking boxes which were more tape than cardboard ?

And LOTS of packing materials

At the end of the day if the postal service you use drops it, steps on it or crushes with something else falling on it  it doesn’t matter how well you package it expect the outer box to get damaged. As long as the rif is fine it’s don’t matter. Of course some people are OCD about the outer boxes and I get that. 
 

But yeah if you’re able to double box then do so. Even if you have to Blue Peter it
