Where the hell do you guys get boxes to ship keyboards? Canada Post has a terrible selection and Staples or Walmart or where ever also has **** all.

I normally just use the boxes from other people sending me stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A year or 2 ago somebody posted some nice boxes from a packing company such as U-Line, but they were a bit on the expensive side.
If you need to store your keyboard collection in consistent boxes, in addition to shipping, and only needed a few hundred or so, the price might come down.

That is what I have been doing too.. But I do need some new boxes.

Get some cardboard sheets and fold it into the size you want.
There's a UPS store nearby. I've seen the guys making "custom" boxes on the fly. Few seconds of work and they charge you like 15$ for it.
Almost the size of a keyboard...

Funny - so you guys built keyboards from scratch but don't want to bother at folding cardboard into the box you want. Oh well.
