You probably won't find a box this big at the post office as they mainly (from my experience and at my local post office) sell smaller boxes that you would typically send a gift or a smaller to medium parcel in. I would suggest going to a store like the UPS Store or a Mailboxes Etc. They can specially make boxes to fit all items. Or, you can go directly to the shipping agent...like UPS Or Fed-Ex or wherever you intend to ship from...they can also make a box to accommodate your item. Remember to insure a product like this and make sure it is packaged well with foam peanuts or bubble wrap to reduce the chance it could be broken. I hope this helps. Good Luck. Post a comment if you have other questions about what I wrote and I'll check back and answer if I can! Happy New Year.

Visit a local grocery or department store and ask if they have any boxes that you can have. Most stores are very accommodating. Another idea is a liqueur store but make sure that you wrap it with brown postal wrap because the US post office will not deliver anything in a box that has any writing on it pertaining to flammable liquids. In addition, if you want to actually buy a box, try the US post office or UPS. They both sell boxes to accommodate various items. Priority Mial boxes are free at the post office as long as you mail it out via priority mail. Also, ask for a flat rate priority mail box at the post office and you'll pay under $9.00 to ship your item (regardless of weight, up to 70 lbs) to any address within the U.S. (provided your item fits in their available flat rate boxes).
Good luck!

At the large rectangular box store of course. Kidding.
The post office may have a box but I would check Uhaul, Taylor Rental then the UPS store, in that order. The UPS store will definitely have something for you but be prepared to pay. They charged me $1 just to seal a box with packing tape. I hate being nickel and dimed. Ugh!!!

Post Offices sell flat ones you can put together yourself. Sizes vary. Or if you want a really large box, go to a supermarket & get a box.

I sent my printer in a huge box that I bought from the UPS store. Same with some of my pieces of artwork. The only issue is they charge an arm and a leg for the big boxes, the peanuts that come with it, and if they pack it for you, they charge even more. But I did get all my stuff across country in one piece.

Go to your local supermarket, they have an assortment of big boxes, then with some wood glue, make a box that suits, make some corner protection, and stick these on, then look around for some polystrene, and you can safely post this. Have done it

Why would it not let you pay Was the shipping for International listed Either pay and cancel immediately, allowing you to leave feedback (as you paid) and have a full refund Or don't pay and the seller can issue you with a non paying strike (you cant leave feedback for not paying) Dispute the cost of shipping with the seller, report them for non performance if justified and you are able as he is obviously making up for the shortfall of 1.00 into the shipping costs Fee avoidence- reportable

Get some bubble wrap, wrap it up. Work out the size of box you need, go to Homebase, ask for 6mm MDF, get them to cut the mdf to size to create your box. Stick the bits together with duct tape (also Homebase) 1 custom made box.
