shipping boxes

ghidrah Aug 31, 2008 08:23 PM

What is a good place to look for styrofoam shipping containers? The only place I've found sells them in bulk quantities only. I am going to be shipping 2 6.5 foot boas, 1 6 foot carpet python, 3 4 foot boas, and one 2.5 foot boa. I will be using multiple boxes, but I need them to be pretty good size. I've never shipped before, so if any one could think of any tips and tricks I would appreciate it.
thanks,
Josh

Go to your local Tropical Fish Store and ask for "Fish Boxes".
If they have any they may be free or cost up to $6 or $7 each.
Good for larger snakes.

I can get many size boxes with styrofoam liners from our local dry ice company . The boxes are unused . They have them for people who make large orders of dry ice.
