Need help on shipping FSTB

Has anyone here ship out a FSTB? I sold it here and I can't find a box big enough to fit it. I have tried the US postal service. Called Fedex. The FSTB is about 4 ft long. Any suggestion would help…

Try someone who sells them. Greg at Custommaxima might know? What about a box from a floor standing lamp? I've got the box mine came in but that's not gonna help you.

Go to a warehouse district in your area and look through the trash; any shopping mall will also have some; if you cannot find one, make one out of two or more boxes.

Just go to one of your local stores (like a hardware/grocery store or wherever they get stuff in big boxes) and ask them if they have a box that size that they can give you. I've gotten boxes that way a lot of times when I needed one. Or if you wanna spend the $$ go to staples or a packing supplies store and buy a box. And then just pack and ship with UPS ground, cheap.

Re: Need help on shipping FSTB

USPS has FREE priority mail boxes that are long enough for golf clubs! 4 feet is nothing. However, the local post office may not carry these triangular-shaped boxes. Too bad you don't live in Cleveland... I have a bunch of boxes that were used for golf clubs. Wost case scenario is you can make your own if you find a very large square or rectangular box. It will have three sides and two ends. Very strong. Bubble wrap or newspaper the inside well.
