Guitar shipping boxes
Where does one obtain such things? Someone is asking me to ship a guitar but there's no case or gigbag, just a raw instrument.
Any leads? Or anyone got any I could obtain in Auckland?
Thanking you

Re: Guitar shipping boxes
Usually just a case (haha) of asking at your local music stores. Ultimately it’s something the store is going to throw away anyway so in essence you’re probably doing them a favour
I’ll always buy something if I end up getting a box from them, usually a pack of strings as know I’m always going to need them

Re: Guitar shipping boxes
What about a cardboard box though?

Tell 'em it's for moving overseas or something. They're often less than keen to support the sale of second-hand goods.

Re: Guitar shipping boxes
I’ll grab them from my storage unit tomorrow. Drop me a message when you want to come get them.

Re: Guitar shipping boxes
Before you do mate, are they just your regular oblong cardboard box or is there a sort of polystyrene inner thing? Ideally an inner sleeve thing would be ideal rather than just the cardboard.
Sorry, should have mentioned that from the get go.

Re: Guitar shipping boxes
Shipping boxes are just boxes. You might need a gig bag for the guitar and some packing. Gibsons have paper or bubble filler due to the shaped cases, Fender cases are usually rectangular so you get a bit of foam at the top and bottom. I can give you some of that stuff.NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:36 pmBefore you do mate, are they just your regular oblong cardboard box or is there a sort of polystyrene inner thing?

Re: Guitar shipping boxes
yeah the shipping boxes are really dissapointing. I just make my own by skip diving at mitre10 for their packaging they've biffed.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Guitar shipping boxes
That only works once though, and then it's going to be awkward next month when you need another shipping box.

Tell them you had to come back because Covid, and can you have another box please, contactlessly because Covid.
