Hi All,
I need to ship a few marching bass drums. I usually ship USPS standard post [best rates I've found. Good rate up to 70lbs/108inches combined]
I know the drums will be over 108" combined, so I'll have to pay for over-size, but where and what kind of box to use??? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Just get large cardboard and make your own box. I cut and tape pieces and make a box, then once it is all packed up good, I use about a roll of duct tape wrapping the box, repeatedly, until it looks like Mum-Ra from the Thundercats..........

Home Depot has shipping boxes for cheap and some double walled.
U-Haul has boxes also...They class them as small, medium, large and extra large...
Cheers
Depending on where you are shipping from and to you might want to check into Greyhound Package Express. I haven't heard any comments lately, but it used to be a good way to go in certain situations. www.shipgreyhound.com/
