[R-390] Heavy Duty Large FedEx Shipping Box

[Pete Lancashire]

The are getting common enough to where I've acquired two medium size ones
 from Goodwill. One cost me $15 and one was free. They had it next to their
corrugated box crusher.

The reason one cost me $15 is I had to buy the stuff that was in it, I
promptly drove to the drop off and gave them the old sleeping bags
that were in it.
