billroperI ordered 20 custom boxes from Box Jedi, because it's been impossible to find new boxes to haul our CDs to conventions in. The large boxes that we're currently using pre-date the Millenium Philcon and look it.
It ended up costing me around five dollars / box including shipping, which was a painfully large amount, but which should -- in theory! -- solve the problem for a long time. Assuming that the boxes actually fit. I was impressed when the company called to give me the tracking number for the shipment since their e-mail was misbehaving and they couldn't send it that way. And the boxes arrived on a timely basis.
Then they sat for a few days, because that's what it's like around here. But today, I popped them out of the shipping box and started folding.
And everything fits correctly. Of course, the boxes are so new that it will take a while for the top flaps to stay down of their own accord. :)
