New Parcel cardboard box needed (60cm x 40cm x 40cm) - Where to get cheap one from?

We need a parceling cardboard box, for posting something,

Dimensions of :
60cm x 40cm x 40cm

Where can we get cheap one from, which can be used to parcel and send something in the UK from?


(even if it is a second hand box, to be taped, it would be fine)

    You might be able to get one from a local shop or supermarket. If it's not the correct size, you can fold it down and even cut off the spare parts and tape it well. Also a spare part can be put in the bottom inside to give extra support. All in the name of recycling! As long as the box is clean and in good condition.

    If you don't like that idea and would prefer a brand new box then the Post Office normally sell them but I don't know the prices.

    Not sure if any of the pound shops sells boxes but some others may know the answer to that.
    "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
  • If you just need the one, i've bought cardboard parcel boxes from Home Bargains and Poundland/world before very cheaply. Post office prices are quite expensive I think probably around £3 for the one box for the size you're looking at
  • For that size I doubt you would get one in a pound shop from my own experiences. Try the Post Office or even Tesco, I've noticed the larger Tesco stores sells a good range of boxes and packing essentials if you just need a one off buy.
