I need to buy Parcel Boxes
Options

I need two Carton Parcel Boxes, that are preferably double-walled, I need to use them to send some electrical products back to the manufacturer for repair.
I unfortunately no longer have the boxes they came in, so that is not an option. I tried looking online but everywhere I look they only seem to sell in bulk, I only need 2, that too of specific sizes.
I have already purchased a ton of bubble-wrap so if the box is slightly larger than required I will wrap the product in it to minimise impact shocks and reduce the risk of damage.
I have tried Homebase and BnQ and neither had anything. Where else can I get boxes?

Post office? WH Smith?
for free boxes, could also try supermarket early morning or late at night when they re-stock the shelf.0 -
I have seen a number of these type of boxes in our Post office.0

The Post Office sell some, or two good shoe boxes of differing sizes, gap between them being packed with filler?
If you said the size it'd be easier for people to source/price what you're after.
My fridge freezer is an electrical device, so is my phone0 -
Thank you for your posts everyone!
I am looking for something that is about 60x50x25 (LWH) in centimetres. I need one for a computer monitor and one for a scanner0 -
Bump.
I had no idea boxes could be this expensive! :O0 -
eBay, look for double walled boxes. Some sellers will sell 1 or 2 boxes.
Failing that the Post Office or Staples (they usually have a good choice)
