Make your own....go to Home Depot and buy some of those heavy duty boxes.....and make your own....boxes are a couple bucks each and a roll of tape....you can do it for less than $10-12....I did a lot of of this parting out my car. I shipped a ton of stuff this way no problem and saved a ton of money vs paying someone to do it. Invest a few bucks and some time.
