Where to get boxes for stereo components

Where is the best place to get boxes for Stereo Componets?

Like this? I would say any moving/shipping company or perhaps an electronics store?

I think that any box will do as long as it is the right size and well packaged. Well packaged does not mean toss some styrofoam peanuts in and call it a day.

Carefully wrap each component in bubblewrap or something equally protective. Make sure the item is secure in the box and will not shift around a lot.

Check out U-Haul.  I buy my larger boxes there.  They are cheaper than anywhere else and have all kinds of great shipping supplies.

I make them. Buy 5/8 rigid board insulating foam, cut cardboard box to size and glue with wood glue, line with foam, wrap item with bubble wrap, place in box and fill in wth peanuts. I ship clear across country. Reel to reels, amps, etc.

Any auto body shop, they recieve fenders and bumpers in extra large heavy duty boxes and are only too glad to get rid of them. Also, bubble wrap, styrofoam peanuts, etc, all free!

It's advisable when shipping these to use anti-stactic packing materials.
