Well, I have my box!!!
A 24" x 24" x 24" cardboard box brought yo me by the lovely Narissa and her husband and son! All I have to do now is fill it up before October 17th!! I had it expalined to me how to pack it etc and I have so far used two rolls of packing tape to reinforce the box itself before loading it I wonder has anyone got any good idea to safe guard the integrity of these boxes as they travel 9,000 miles! I have more tape which I shall be using but I'm concerned about the integrity of the base of the box with all the weight going in there....any advice appreciated.

I'm quite excited now about sending it (I'm trying not to think of the shipping costs ) and so far, I have a printer, a coffee machine, an electric mixer, bakeware, some toys for the children,food containers (good quality) bath and shower gels, toothpaste, tooth brushes, tampons, shampoo, curtains, sheets, towels, a pillow and a few tins of meat and fish!!! Oh and some coffee! I need to hang fire until I start to pack it all now coz to be honest, the box isn't as big as I expected it to be and I'm worried I won't fit all this in.

Anwya, any suggestions for securing the base of the box so it holds the weight would be very much appreciated please.

Hi, for some reason I missed this post from you back in August....don't know how
It costs me £125 although on the Forex site it says a large box is £120

Who did you use? Can you give me a number please or a contact address?
Thanks
