Shipping boxes question
Has anyone safely shipped a 21st Tiger? I can't find a suitable box. I want to sell a winter tiger, pioneerwagen, pak 40 and Seemann 100 on ebay because I badly need the money, but the boxes are all crazy sizes, too big for one box and too small for the other. I'm kinda wary about taping two boxes together as discussed in another thread. If I let UPS do it, it's going to cost a lot. ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Im sorry, i dont know what to tell you, but when i recieved an order of two planes from badcattoys, they sent it in a box just large enough, to fit both plains and a set of figures, but if youre selling one plane, and that other stuff, you can probobly fit it all in one, If you want i can give you the dimensions, but when are are you going to put them on ebay?

My local WalMarts seem to have a policy about giving boxes away. I suppose it's because they sell boxes and can't handle the financial loss.
I have some PTE stuff as well, everythings MIB but its the large stuff that gives problems.
I will post in my topic on the BST forum when I have the stuff up. I can't sell from here until March and I have no desire to test the mods patience.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
BTW immeww2, when you find these boxes, do you just snatch them up or do you have to hunt down someone to ask permission? If by chance I do locate some boxes I don't want to get tackled by the Grandpa manning the front door.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Almost every McDonald's has a seperate (green) dumpster just for cardboard boxes to recycle. The boxes are just broke down to fit flat to take up less space. There should be a box the size you're looking for. They're not dirty or anything like that. I used to work for Waste Management and had alot of commercial customers. I've seen alot of people using them for when they are moving. They are free too.
Do some dumpster diving!![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

I do have one big box, I'm going to make up a lot on evilBay. All mint in box or on card. With a Pak-40, Pioneerpanzerwagen, the BBI Recon jeep with all the MGs and the recoiless rifle, PTE Horse, watchtower and Bunk sets, and four Market Garden figures.
Check my advert in BST later tonight or tomorrow.

I usually ask before taking them and I've never had any employee tell me that I couldn't take the boxes.Rowsdower wrote:BTW immeww2, when you find these boxes, do you just snatch them up or do you have to hunt down someone to ask permission?
