Boxing Ideas

Hi Scott, I've seen this done a few times. Imagine the size you need for the perfect box for the items. Take those lengths and widths and add them up. 2L + 2W = Total Inches. Now measure around the boxes you have for close to that total length. Open the top and bottom of the box. Recrease the corners to the shape you need. Trim the box top and bottom flaps as needed to close the new box shape. Use lots of packaging tape.

I've gone to a furniture store before to get large, odd sized boxes. You essentially have to make your own box to ship some odd size items.

Allow enough room to pad and protect the contents from rough handling.

Don't know your method of shipping but check out the USPS site. They have box they may fit your needs and best part they are FREE! They have a "shoebox" that works great for shipping a single car or the bigger boxes for your 5 car set.

Here is their link!
USPS BOXES

You have to ship the items using Priority Mail only when using these boxes!

Check out Lowes of Home Depot during the week to see when they receive a delivery truck. On those days, there are a lot of small and large boxes thrown out. Also, your local grocery store gets produce and things like cereal in good size boxes. But you need to check at the times they are putting the stuff on shelves because they do not have the means to save boxes for people.

Good luck,
Don
