Guitar Boxes

monquixote

I need to ship a guitar that has no case.

What are the best places to find guitar boxes?

I got a nice big cycle box from Halfords

Ah good call. 

Did you just go in and ask?

I usually get them from music stores.. well one music store now being the only one left.

Easiest way is to buy another guitar first, then you never run out of boxes

LOL- I don't think they would need you to buy a bike.

They throw loads of bike boxes away, or at least recycle them.

I did, just went in and said I needed a box to ship a guitar. Done it a couple of times and they were only too glad to help. Even gave me some packing material as well

 or at least recycle them....Classic !

I  get them from local music shops. They just recycle them anyway and I've never been refused. 

As opposed to bike boxes they are, usefully, guitar sized!

:P

But, as Dean suggests, Halfords would do just as well and the packing material they'll have would be very useful.

many pay Halfords to set the bike up, then it can't go back in the box, so they have it spare. I got a few once before I got the hang of GAS

My garage loft.

As long as you're not shipping anything PRS-ish.  In which case, you can just hand deliver it, no shipping required.

Cheers, but I'm in Suffolk so a bit of a way from you.

Ooo if I could nab one off you it would be awesome. 

And I can deliver a PRS singlecut with the price being one PRS singlecut

Guitar shops are the best plsce, just buy a few sets of strings and they will help you out. I have offered to pay (very little) but they have always refused since the boxes just stack up.

When do you need it?  You're welcome to pop over any evening - past 7.30 to make sure I'm back!

I'll pass on the swap offer though ... I'm getting to quite like mine 

monquixote

I'm posting it out at the end of the week. 

I'll let you know when I can nip over. 

Much appreciated
