Shipping boxes for double-boxing espresso machines

I contacted some speciality box providers, but many of them only sell in bulk. For those who may be interested, I found packsend.com.au to be really helpful, and was able to pick up two double-walled cartons and nest one inside the other.

I have also found bigger boxes from warehouse type stores and then cut them down to suit. Stanley Knife and packing tape is your friend.

Just measure the existing box and then do a search online for 'shipping boxes' or 'storage boxes'--there should be lots local unless you are out in the sticks.
As far as safe goes, the answer is 'it depends'. I would certainly recommend lots of foam inside the boxes to stabilise things, and a skid on the bottom. Insurance is a must--check whether second hand goods are covered, they often are **not**.

Shipping boxes for double-boxing espresso machines
I'd like to sell my espresso machine, a large domestic HX machine. I want to sent it interstate by courier. I have a suitable box for it, but ideally, I'd like to double box it.
I was hoping someone would have come across this problem before. Where can I get a box that is bigger than the box a large domestic machine comes in? (I'm in Brisbane.) Also, are coffee machines generally pretty safe to freight with a courier company?
Thanks in advance!Tags: None
