Boxes for senting presents

dibkins

Howdy, I can't seem to find a package to send some gifts by post. The GPO had small (2kg) or large (20kg) boxes. I need something around 4-5kg. Easons had either something i could fit a CD into, or something i could fit my torso into. Anyone seen any handy boxes around? I'd be looking for something around twice the size of the an post Small (maybe they do a medium, but they didn't have any there).
Thanks.

Get a Fyffe's banana box from Superfruit for €5.00. :pac:

Na, about half that size, and with a lid! I do love the look of them all stacked up in there though!

You could always try EuroGiant and dealz. I usually get boxes from EuroGiant when I send stuff to New Zealand and I think there's a few different size choices.

Tesco usually has a good range of box sizes

Theres a shop on washinton street that sells boxes. Think its called postbox or something like that? Its at the opposite end of the street to the grand parade

Tesco sell them for about a euro or two, they are green boxes with a white label area to put the address in and come flat packed.

Awesome, i'll pop over Washington street over the weekend, and if not to mahon or wilton some evening then (I couldn't see any in Paul's street Tesco, or was i just missing? )
Pound shops were a no last weekend (actually, not sure if i was in a eurogiant), as was Tiger!
Thanks for the help, hope this gets me sorted:)

I should be paid for promoting them but the second hand store down on centre park road sell boxes for packing and all that goes might help, also argos sell them

Also if you get badly stuck we have loads of boxes in work we use to send out things they are free so tis grand.. youd have to wrap them to pretty them up

Maybe call into a shoe shop and ask do they have any spare boxes that boots came in etc. Often people don't take the boxes with them when they buy shops. You could buy some cheap wrapping paper and wrap the outside of the box.

Tesco it was, thanks for all the help:)
