how to purchase UPS 25kg boxes

The UPS 25kg box is an excellent way to ship bulky items in a cardboard box that will not break during transit. This box is made from double wall corrugated material and can be reused many times. It is also good for general moving, because it is more sturdy than the typical single-wall moving box.

External dimensions of the box are: 19.375" x 17.375" x 14".

These boxes are well worth the money. My son used his boxes for four moves, and the boxes still look good after the ordeal (one move from home to college, one move from his dorm to a storage place, one move from storage place to his apartment, and then a move from his apartment to home). The boxes fold flat when they are not in use. Remember to fold the side flaps down in order to hold the bottom flap in place.

The only problem is that UPS no longer carries this box. You can order it from www.prattplus.com  (SKU #pra0161). The smallest order is a pack of 6 boxes at $21.54 (or $3.59 each before tax and shipping).
