Large shipping boxes

[jetorr_92]

Where is the best place to get a large shipping box like 57x27. Thanks in advance for answers

Supermarket.. A used grocery bag.  Keep in mind that anything over 30 inches now carries a $15.00 surcharge PLUS the regular shipping fee if shipping through USPS.  Sometimes, using 2 smaller boxes is cheaper than 1 big box.    You can also try a place that rents U-haul trucks.  They sell boxes.  I have seen big boxes too sold at Home Depot .

I have also gotten nice big boxes and bubble wrap at body shops.

Thank you everyone except for 1tuna not to be picky but you were of no help! pretty simple to figure out what I needed. Went to home depot and shipment is right on time. Good Day!!!

also try Best Buy. A lot of their smaller appliances come in boxes that they throw out.

Well that's being rude to 1Tuna. They're only thinking the same thing I'm thinking. We're only wondering if the box you need will exceed 130 inches in length and girth. Anything larger than 57" length, 27" width and 9-1/2" height exceeds maximum package size. That's why they said you left out a measurement.

I have to agree. 57x27 is a 2 dimensional flat object.

It is really not a good idea to be snippy with those who are trying to help. ituna's comment was right on the mark. Without the third dimension the information you supplied is deficient.

Get snippy too often and you will probably find a lack of answers for future questions.

I have been here since '04. I have a wealth of information. And a list of people I will no longer try to help. Can't believe I'm the only one.

the box you were describing sounded like it was for a water heater as in 57 x 27 x 27
