[R-390] R390A Shipping boxes

[kc9ieq]

I have a friend who works for a box manufacturing company.  If somebody can provide me with exact specs and a photo or two of the construction, I can see what the minimum qty and cost would be to have some made.  This is of course, if they handle/can make the double-wall material in question.

 From time to time I have seen military surplus equipment boxes that I thought could be turned into really good reusable shipping boxes with the addition of interior blocking. Not cheap however, the last ones I saw were at City Liquidators in Portland Oregon and they wanted $99 apiece. Just a thought.

Does anybody know where Dan Arney was getting the double walled cardboard boxes for shipping R390A's?  I believe it was a charity group in Texas somewhere but I'm not sure and i do not have any contact info.

We are packing for a move from Seattle to Montana and I have three R390A's without exterior boxes to go around any interior box I use for double boxing.
Those boxes from Dan are great - I have shipped R390A's back and forth across the country to Chuck Ripple with no damage.

If I can't find the boxes Dan used, what suggestions do you guys have for a good double walled exterior cardboard shipping box?
Thanks! - Steve W7SJT
