Title: Double ball boxes...where to get them?
Post by: mrwizerd on December 25, 2017, 02:14:40 AM: Outside of asking my pro shop, where else can I find (assuming the size) an 18x9x9 shipping box? I have a tournament coming up and I wanted to ship 2 balls.

Amazon has EVERYTHING! Except for food and cars, 95% of everything I buy comes from them.

Here's some of those boxes; if yo have Prime, shipping is free and that will beat Uline's prices

They have for a while now: I think it's called Food Prime or something similar. They even sell wine and lobster.

I've ordered dry foods like tea and noodles and many spices, hot sauces and barbecue sauces that I can't get locally. Haven't yet ordered wet/fresh or frozen foods from them.

Most pro shops around here have many single boxes (9x9x9) and many 4 ball boxes (18x18x9); they rarely have the 2 ball boxes (18x9x9). Not sure what other states or areas have.

And some heavy duty shipping tape - agreed.

Post by: mrwizerd on December 26, 2017, 11:05:26 AM: Thank you for all of the links and home remedy solutions. Fortunately my pro shop had a bunch of them, so I was able to get one from them. If I strikeout with my pro shop next time, I will know where to go for boxes.
