Canada folks, shipping boxes

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.

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.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
