Source for shipping Boxes

When I can’t find the size I’m looking for I’ll go to the local furniture store and ask for some big boxes and cut them down to whatever size I need.
I like to double box expensive items with and insulator layer in between.
 
Yeah, I go to a local guy who will custom make any box in any shape I want. Costs a little more than a box from a store but not much. If the LGS does not have boxes that I can ship a firearm in I go to this guy. I always box the factory box with protection around the factory box.

I didn’t know there were places that made custom boxes. I worked in a box factory for a while in my early twenties. Over the years I’ve made and modified many boxes when I didn’t have what I needed.
 
I too recommend Uline if you are shipping in volume. Huge selection of sizes. But if you ship here and there... Amazon, UPS or other sources.
For full rifle, and this may not be for everyone, but I have shipped rifles taken down to stock, barrel, action and all support pieces into a 36x6x6 box. To me, this nds to avoid (most) shipping hazards.
 
I've seen Uline shipping be as much as the boxes.
I buy off Amazon.
I will give Uline some credit as they seem to be a heavier constructed box
The Uline boxes are better quality but you are not wrong about the shipping. It hurts my feelings every time.
