A box on a pallet works good ............... cruise the local appliance
dealers dumpster and pick up a dishwasher, TV, washing machine or clothes
dryer carton and cut it down to size. I normally tape them back up to
gfull size, then cut them at the proper point and then telescope the top
over the bottom carton for about the right height carton to ship in.
