Where can I find cardboard rifle shipping boxes in Montreal?

I called ULINE----minimum of 15 boxes.

I am selling 'some rifles' and I am having to use my hard gun case because I can find cardboard boxes.
I called Browning Arms in Montreal----'Sail' outdoor activity store in Vaudreuil (with a large hunting and fishing section.)
So far---- NO LUCK.
 
Check with a few gunshops around the area, see if they have an "extra's". Furniture stores, hardware stores may have unwanted boxes you can cut down or modify to suit your shipping needs.
 
Good suggestions.

I have just sold a M44 carbine and I am sending it to BC in a hard 'Gun Guard' case and requested that the buyer send it back to me.
I used this case once before to ship a dewatt MG34 to NL----the buyer sent it back.

I have a second 'Gun Guard' case but it being used to contain a 12.3 Lanchester smg in Ottawa with the RCMP---doing a verification that typically takes six months. (I bought that case at a Montreal gun show for $10---best ten dollar purchase I ever made.)

The buyer is in Calgary and will send the case back to me when the gun is received from the RCMP.

In the meantime I am a cardboard box chaser.
In speaking to a lady at Browning they have to pay $35 for the Browning (fitted) black boxes from the U.S.
She said if she had any cardboard boxes she would give me some.

My packaging is not pretty--- but no harm will come to guns that I send by mail.
Overly protected.

I am waiting for transfer approval for the sale of a restricted M1 carbine in the last cardboard box that I had.
It isn't pretty. About '200 yards' of Canada Post tape holding the box together.

No problem with cardboard boxes for pistols-----the post office.

I am having a real problem finding cardboard rifle boxes.

Sail is selling the Flambeau hard rifle case for $20 now. Cheaper than shipping back a case......
If I was the buyer of a nice rifle (like the stuff you collect) I wouldn't mind to pay a little extra in shipping fees for a hard case.

I read so many stories of damaged rifles or barrels sticking our of a box that I would not hesitate to spend a little extra for peace of mind.

OK
 
Interesting thought.
Just add an additional $20 to the shipping cost and the buyer gets to keep it.

My hard case gets covered in green garbage bag material and wrapped in a lot of Post Office tape with some duct tape.

It does not look like a gun case.
Someone once told me don't send rifles in anything that looks like a rifle case--you are inviting trouble.

Pistols are much easier to deal with.
 
I got a single long box if that would help you at all. Otherwise, your best bet is getting TV/furniture boxes and using those to put together a custom box, as others have suggested here.
