Default Where to buy big boxes?

Need to ship out front bumper.
UPS and Uhaul said they don't have boxes that big.
Anyone knows where I can buy some?

Call an appliance store and salvage the packaging once they make their deliveries.

just wrap the bumper in bubble wrap and a layer of cardboard.

I used two boxes and made it fit. BTW, It cost about $230 to ship UPS Ground from NC to FL just in case you hadn't check prices cuz it was a shocker to me.

Did you check greyhound? They ship large items from station to station for typically lower prices than shipping companies like UPS or FEDEX.

Oh, as for boxes, if you cannot pick them up from an appliance store, any uhaul store sells moving boxes that are pretty big.

yeah that box is really big thats why it costs so much. Just make the box fit around it. Like how people ship front lips.

its already expensive to ship a bumper. if youre planning on sell id say go local. so much easier to deal, unless the buy pays for shipping. but about the box, make your own using two of them.

Call your local car dealerships and ask if they have an empty bumper box. I got one for free from the local Cadillac dealership last time I needed to ship an S2000 bumper.
