Looking for Large Shipping Boxes

mcmahonc · #1 26.04.2011, 10:56

Hello,

Does anyone have a recommendation on where I can buy large shipping boxes (heavy duty cardboard) that I can ship to the US. I have contacted DHL and Swiss Post and they do not sell large boxes. I am in Basel so some place close to here would be ideal.

Thanks.

Ikea sells them for quite cheap, and I've also bought some at Coop Bau und Hobby and OBI before. I used a lot of those when we moved to a new flat last summer.

Do you need a large plasma TV moving box? I am giving one of those away (near Zurich though)

Thanks, the IKEA boxes were perfect to ship. Sorry, I don't need one for a plasma TV but thank you.

Be sure to use this special nylon tape on the boxes (all the way around - in both directions). It will not break.

Is anyone moving from CH to the Toronto area this summer and can help me out?
