Shipping boxes

Also, I have mentioned before, take a look at the bottom of the box. THere is a circle with information in it. It will tell you the capacity of the box "weight-wise". I only say this because when I started shipping and dropping of at the postal store, the fedex guy kicked 2 of my packages back that weighed more than the rated amount.

If you get some boxes that are too big, don't sweat it. fill it until you hit 60 or so pounds, then cut the sides and fold them down. Tape well and ship.

My 2 cents on boxes.

I have found several dell computer boxes they are about 24x24x12 they work good if not I do like above. They actually sell boxes that are pre-creased so you can cut them and fold the tabs over but why would you pay extra for that. All you need is a good blade in a utility knife.
