Wanted A Big cardboard box!

[Osci]

I need a box big enough to post a 26" wheelset without tyres in.

If anyone has one spare they wouldn't mind sending me I am happy to pay the postage on it?

Cheers.

Have you got a Halfords near you?

I've had no problems getting empty boxes from them over the years of various sizes

Or an office/office furniture company - last few wheelsets I bought came in office chair boxes perfect fit!

I find most bike shops are happy to help with boxes. A too big box can be fixed with a Stanley knife.

Bike shops are a good shout, but there are companies where you can order a box to size and strength. At least round where I live. Shouldn't cost the world.

Thanks for the ideas everyone.

I did try the nearest bike shop a while back but they didn't have any.
Nearest Halfords is a long walk from me, although could get the bus I suppose.
Looked on ebay at boxes but couldnt find any big enough.

Supermarket or any shop should have large cardboard they will give you, no need to buy a box

I just ask someone working at a big box store, your choice and you get it for free. Some u-haul sell boxes cheap

Where in Notts are you? If it's to the north I might be able to drop you one off.
