Looks like my F1 has sold or at least will sell soon but I need to find a affordable box. Where are you guys going for these odd sized big boxes?

It's what's gonna have to be done. I figure I'll put some staples in it for good measure, pointing out of course ?
tighter the box/packaging then less likely to b damaged in transit imo?
When I've packed up whole rigs I've usually put the tires on the bottom then lay the rig on the tires and pack paper and bubble wrap to the top and sides so if it lands on any other side than up it won't move

I just took two big boxes and taped them together, then slid the rig inside the box and packed stuff around it. Was a big ass box but it was only 50 bucks to ship

Thanks everyone. I went to U-Haul and they had an almost exact fit. I'm gonna be able to make it work for $5 and $10 in packing peanuts. U-Haul is the spot if you got one of those uhaul stores near you.
Glad you asked.. saved me some key strokes
I thought about checking them out but didn’t seem like they had any big boxes according to there website. I ended up building my own what a nightmare that was lots of tape needed. You probably will need to still cut it up to reduce the size of the box or your shipping will be expensive.

I actually got a 36 1/4" x 21" x 10" box. A little wide but almost perfect. I'll just have to remove the front wing for it to fit. Waiting on payment to pack it lol.
Buy a new rc and use that ??

Another one off. It's one box but all cut up to fit miss Elam. The dbxl got the 2 box treatment as well. Actually a printer box, and a pampered chef box. The ups store in town wants too much for big boxes. Think it was $8 something for a box being enough for the dbxl and all the extra crap I sent with. Oh and btw check out shipping rates through pay pal. Half the price that ups or fed ex wants to ship with ups. Stupid right?

I'm not set to to sell on ebay. Yet. Have a few things on market place. If they don't sell by end of next week they are going in ebay for whatever they bring.

It's a good time to get involved. End of next month they are doing away with paypal which means 4% less fees!
Who's doing away with PayPal? Ebay?
