Boxes for posting bats?
« on: August 26, 2014, 11:19:33 PM »
Considering selling a couple of old bats on eBay, can anyone give me a heads up as to where you can get appropriately sized boxes for posting them in?

Thanks

Wrap them in about two levels of bubble wrap and bin bags.  Works fine.

Best way to get boxes for posting bats is to buy some bats and reuse those boxes haha  ;)

You have to buy a minimum of a small quantity which I think is 25 - but works out at being around £1/box

Can vouch for this. I also seletape bundled up plastic bags on top of the bubble wrap for extra protection

Double bubble wrap then encase it with cardboard shaped in triangle [use Stanley knife] wrap loads of packaging tape around, job done.

The triangle shape is key to provide maximum protection.

If you work in an office, two printer cartridge boxes stuck together are perfect. That's what I use.

If you have a reasonable sized box it's pretty easy to open it at the joins and make a Toblerone shaped box just by creasing it down the middle. I find this shape is perfect for protection too.
