Thought you guys might want to know:

S-4922, 20"x8"x50", $4.98. Min order is five I believe.I still wish they were a little deeper, say, 9" or 10", but we get what we get, and they are 275lb test.

Thanks Gerald, good to know!

Greg

The size may be determined by the USPS parcel max size requirements. I believe the max (girth + length) is 108 inches to most destinations.
I agree that a deeper box would be helpful in many cases. Sheet styrofoam can really help to protect box contents, and doesn't need too much space.

Directly from Uline? I don't see any sale info on the product page.

Jim, click the special offer button, click the super carton icon, select the 18-23 link and scroll down till you see item S-4922. The price shown there is $4.98 but I tried to order 5 and they came up in checkout at the regular price fo $6.60 so I didn't buy them. It's possible that they would have billed the sale price but I didn't feel like messing with it. I usually ship my guitars in the case box but sometimes I get several cases in the same box. These may be better than the boxes the cases come in anyway so I will probably check into it further.

I had 100 made here locally for me at $2.50 a pop.... of course I had to have
them made at 100 at a time...but I shouldn't need boxes for a few years :)

The 108" limit isn't the problem, it's the way they choose to get there. That being said, I buy them for my site because I can't find any other decent options.

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] I just ordered 5 and yes they do remain at the $6.60 price but I didn't care. I have had poor luck finding boxes in decent shape from local guitar stores so this will fix me up for a long time.

Good find Gerald - thanks![/QUOTE]

Hesh, I just found the reason. The sale price only qualifies with a 100 piece minimum. More boxes than I'll ever need.
