I have a prop I want to list for sale on E-bay but I'm having a problem finding a box of adaquate size and length to to ship it.



It is a 68" diameter Tennessee wood prop. 

A 6' box is what I'm looking for. The UPS store doesn't have anything that long.

Any ideas?

Get a mailing tube from one of the Mailing Speciality places or go to a =

rug company and get the tube that they roll carpet on.

The other ideas are good, but the simplest is to just use 2 boxes, open 

on one end, overlap them in the middle & tape.



If it's skinny enough, it might be worth looking at pvc drain pipe.

I will have a go.... All of the "free" shipping material that I have ever

need is behind the average home furnishings/appliance store... Foam

blocks .. foam sheeting, flexible foam covering , bubble wrap etc..

Cardboard that can be shaped into anything... two corners  of a

refrigeator box make the beginnings of any size box.. Frugal Herb..
