unusual size mailing boxes

[thefoxyjoker]

Hi,I need some advice regarding unusal sized mailing boxes.

I have decided I would like to try selling large brimmed womens hats this summer.

But want to be able to post them flat as they are the quality you wouldnt want to receive squashed,

I have been looking everywhere to see if anyone sells the type of boxes I need in the specific measurements.

I really dont want to buy from chine sight unseen as the quality from china can be quite awful

from what I have noticed about other items I have bought from there.

Any way the boxex need to be around 43 X 12 X 43 cm

Neither places like OfficeWorks or Auspost supply this sized box.

Custom made ones are quite expensive.

So just wondering where I could buy a "speciality" size mailing box from?

I did see on youtube how to make a box

but I dont know where to get sheets of carboard that size.

If anyone can help with my dilemma please do as I would love to sell these hats this spring /summer,

Thank you in advance.

Coles, Aldi and Bunnings have been good to me with cardboard boxes.

I had cubic weight applied on a 1.2kg Guitar Hero guitar last month, which suddenly became 5kg and $20.05 from VIC-NSW.

That would be the bit starting with "For parcels over 1kg..."

$2 shops like Smart Dollar sell round gift boxes in various sizes. I think their cardboard is more sturdy than a regular box too.
