Box for shipping saddle? .... help!

[Pluto]

I have two lovely saddles for sale on Ebay but I only have one cardboard box for shipping. Where can I get hold of a large cardboard box for shipping my second saddle?

I normally ask at my local supermarket !! The larger stores are quite helpful and were more than happy to give me a few boxes when I needed to sell a few saddles for friends

Most self storage places have loads of packaging supplies like big yellow storage etc if there's one near you?

as above self storage places sell them and you can get them from removal firms if you have a local one.

If you have a Co-op department store near you, they have boxes. I always get my big ones to send side saddles in from there!

HAve a look round a local industrial estate, many mail order companies order in boxes of stuff to ship out individually, and any card waste goes in a skip and ahs to be paid to be removed. Cycle shops often have big sheets of card that cycles come in that you could fashion a box from

Where I work so much cardboard gets binned once stock has come in, we do get perfect sized ones for saddles tho Shame people dont collect cardboard & pay you for it to make into other stuff!!!
