Been searching to no avail on here, and calling movers and couriers to find a box to ship a rifle. Tried Fedex, UPS, Purolator.
Help please! Where the heck to people get long skinny boxes?
I'm in Peterborough, ON.
thank you,

Didn't see this size on UPS web site but called local UPS store and found one 48x8x8 inches for $6.50. Also tried a local Package Plus store and they have same box for $7.94. Could probably cut down a bit as required.
Thanks for the other suggestions too CGN'ers! It's been a tedious search.
 
Check a hardware store for the boxes that fluorescent tubes come in.
Or, w ww.uline.ca. But they only sell to businesses. I use their police evidence boxes to store projects on which I'm working.
 
Go to your local gun store, they often have extra rifle boxes from customers who don't want it after a scope has been added as it won't fit anymore. I know we have half a dozen or so in my store. To bad I'm at the other end of the country.

Peterborough, eh? Accuracy Plus will have a few spares kicking around.

I like / prefer to ship/send my rifles around in factory boxes. Often my local gun shop will have a few boxes kicking around. I have rolls of brown craft paper to hide the markings on the rifle boxes. Good to go!

Lately I found a couple of pre-owned hard Doskocil gun cases at the LGS (local gun shop) and I bought them for mailing purposes. I got lucky. :cool:

Hope this helps!

Cardboard boxes that hardwood flooring comes in also work, or can be made to work quite well. I just used up my last one today; had them stored in the attic and overhead in the garage for a couple of years.......now I'm also on the hunt for suitable boxes.
 
Second keep old rifle boxes.

I also have on old Mosin box that is the recipient of all parts needing oil. Some times a sit in the box it oil enough. Really tho since your selling one what are you buying.._..Give 1 take 1 ya know.
