Boxes

[Landlord]

Well hello!

I need to return 5 parasols and to collect, the company need them boxed. They split in half and are about 4.5' high (1.5 meters?) when separate. I can't find any boxes online that will fit this (though I am extremely bad at Googling) - does anyone know where I can get hold of suitable boxes?

Thanks,
Phil

Take random old boxes and make boxes to suit. Lot of brown tape and you're sorted.

Toilet roll tubes?

Has your local carpet warehouse got any rolls the carpets arrive on ?

Slide inside, tape up ends, job done.

Sounds like you want cardboard postal tubes

I'm afraid I have nothing to add but curiosity as to why 5 parasols are having to be returned?

Are they insufficiently shady/waterproof/big? Not sure I can think of any other reasons why 5 would have to go back.

Yeah, I think I'll make that my "last resort" plan.

Great idea! I happen to know someone with a carpet shop too.

They look great but £15 each!! I'm in the wrong game.

They've faded from jet black to "strong coffee" brown over the space of about 6 weeks.

Get them to post out packaging for 5 parasols.
