Hey guys, I wasn't too sure where to post this but I was wondering where do you guys get boxes to ship hoods when you sell them? Could I take it to like DHL and them make a box for it or what? Thanks for any help!!!

what type of side skirts? I shipped a stock set of z skirts and my ww avenger sides. I used vinyl sidding box. They come in like 10 foot lengths, but you just cut it down to size and make new flaps.

stuff like hoods and whole kits usually have to be freighted

From what I've gathered... most body kit & hood boxes cost the warehouses/manufacturers around $15-35 per box. If you wanted to buy just one it'd be a lot more for the low quantity... and I'm not sure where you'd get them unless you're out in CA where most come from.

My mom has her own internet store and she gets boxes from UPS in any size you can think of.

^^ Hood boxes sizes are common at all though... so they are a little harder to come by unless you're in the auto/hood industry.

I've bought a few body kit boxes from the local UPS Store. The owner makes the boxes. He charged me 45 for one box, or 35 a piece for 5 boxes.

They were pretty high quality.

Good thing I am a corrugator operator I make my own boxes, it's just getting them out without the supervisor seeing, ha ha

or go behind a furniture/appliance store and take the boxes they throw out from their display models.

Goto your nearest Lowes ask for someone in Receiving and ask them for the cardboard they cut off the back of their LPD trucks... Its usually 4x8 peices or close to it and most of it is 3/4" thick. Get some of that and tape and make ur own box. They should give it to you for free. I worked at Lowes for about 5yrs, used to get it in everynight.
