Title: Packaging help
Post by: mattdawson on April 25, 2017, 10:12:07 AM

Anybody know where to buy boxes to send 2 bats separately? Only want 2 maybe 3 if I choose to send one of mine off for refurb

Any other ideas to pack them up for postage? Dont want to just bubble wrap them

Sign up for a UPS account - you can get free bat boxes

If I run out of boxes sent to me (used to have dozens for some reason!!  :o ) then I purchased from ebay:

At £1.70 each they are ok. And they fit 1 bat with packaging to pad it out, 2 bats comfortably and even 3 bats at a squeeze.
Good strong boxes they measure 94x16x16cm. So for a true single size box it would have to be 91x15x9cm. But haven't looked at where to get this size!
