SORTED: Shipping box

Elwood

Can't get one in the local area. Is anyone prepared to post an empty shipping box to West Sussex. Must be able to fit a strat Hiscox case.

Photos, year of manufacture, COA etc would be nice ( no relics please). Of course, it must also djent.

Happy to pay postage and beer credits. Anyone with a loft full of them able to help me out?

I've definitely got one in my music room if you don't find one closer. Local guitar shops no help?

No luck at all. I've tried to local to where the guitar is and both my locals can't help either.

I bought three off ebay that were a bit oversized but they came with plenty of packing. The packing was in the biggest cardboard box I have ever seen. I think about £18 incl. delivery

Been to loft @Elwood and only box I have is a standard strat box it wouldn’t take a case I’m afraid

If you pm me @Elwood I can see if I can get it to you.

I get these also.

They're about £21 for three, but I figure £7 a box isn't too bad, plus delivery is free. My local gutair shop often wanted a fiver for a box anyway... Add in the cost of driving to the shop, which is a fair few miles.

They are a bit big, but sometimes it's handy if you're posting in a big hardcase for example.

Thanks for the help folks. It seems slightly wrong to order a new one - as odd as that sounds. I'll order one if I can't find one on here.

Where did you order them from @bacchanalian?

Looks like.

Try a bike shop for a bike box. Little on the large side but usually very good boxes.

I have had a search round ebay and cannot find the listing.  I checked back in my feedback and the seller was miclearance bur do not have any boxes listed. £17 for one seems steep

Thanks for the kind offers. Is anyone willing to post a box?

I'm not at the same location as the guitar. The box is so a mate can post the guitar to me

I think we spoke about this a little while back.....if so, I'm still happy to arrange to meet halfway if that would help?

I really appreciate the offer Hub but i'm in Scotland & the guitar is in Sussex! I did have a mate near you but he's not moved so it wouldn't work out.
