Where to buy styrofoam and cardboard boxes

[Kenta]

hi all,

I'm going to be shipping some Asian arowana across Canada soon. I don't usually have so many customers from the other side of the country, usually they are all locals. In the past i have gotten old styrofoam and cardboard boxes from an LFS, but i think its about time i got my own source.

Where do you all get your boxes? Thanks.

I get them from Hospitals/pharmacies. They're thick as hell.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, will try them both out.

Rally, so you just ask the pharmacies if they have extra styrofoam/cardboard boxes??

Yep, they should be more than happy to give them away. Most of them aren't in a cardboard box because they don't need it. They ship the styrofoam which is sometimes about 4" thick.
