Stuff like that we send UPS, and the boxes cost about three quid each and at least another quid for the bubble in the boxes. And eBay steal 10% of the shipping cost.

I have to order flat cardboard and make my own boxes, MV have you considered selling boxes to people like us?

These people aren't too bad on prices the last time enquired.

Don't do any big enough.

I have just had a look now. Looks like they have changed the way they do things. About 18 months ago they quoted me £351 for 100 bespoke boxes but now they have set minimum widths of 50cm so now no good.

I always have trouble finding boxes bit enough for Vacuums and A/C units, Usually have to get Bespoke boxes made.

I go to The Range and B&M for boxes when I need them. They always have big boxes suitable for Dysons. I have also found my local Morrisons get flowers in boxes that are great for Dc24's and Dc25's. I was looking at selling more complete vacuums online which is why I looked into bespoke but I can get more by stripping and selling the parts. Also less hassle if a machine goes wrong. I just sell complete machines locally but do still send a few a month.

I can, but they would be quite dear by the time they were repackaged into smaller lots and sent on. We have to buy I think 150 custom sized at once, and they come on a pallet.

Well when I first saw it, I thought it was alright but when you said about it in this thread I went and had another look, and yeah... It's worse than I thought! I want one that needs a little work because then I can make a small series of video's for it but nothing that is gonna cost me too much to get right...

Sorry dude
