I'm looking for boxes to store spare keyboards and came across these:

http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-6496/Specialty-Boxes/19-1-8-x-9-1-8-x-2-3-16-Keyboard-Boxes

They would be perfect, but the above website requires a minimum order of 25.  Is it possible to buy singles of these anywhere?

Couldn't find anything on Google. If you email (or call, might be more productive) them, they might be willing to send you a few at a higher price.

Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

These are free, courtesy of the USPS. Each order is for a pack of 25. They will deliver them right to your door, for free.

Now, technically, you are supposed to use these only for shipping flat rate Priority Mail. The cost of these boxes is built into the price of the flat rate postage. But a few people using them for storage isn't going to cause much of a stir.
