Ebay double wall cardboard boxes...

Are any of the guitar shipping cardboard boxes on ebay actually double walled or actually appropriate for guitar shipping at all?

They’ll likely fit a guitar and case, but be cheap and nasty. Go to a guitar shop and ask for an empty box. Gibson might have (or had) dodgy QC, but they can make a quality cardboard box.

FTFY!

I wonder why Gibson don't start making cardboard boxes and outsource the guitar making to someone else.
