Wow

Thank you peeps, 0.8 is close enough to what I need to know.

The boxes will be shipped together in 1 box, but the rate goes up each cubic metre so asking for a quote for 1 cubic metre is close enough for me!

Properly confusing.

I would have thought that even asking for a quote for 0.25m^3 would have been well in.

You'd have to do quite a bit of glueing and balancing to get them to stand up in an arrangement bigger than that.

Yeah. I got a quote before I got the dimensions, (I guessed).

After getting the dimensions I tried to work out if I was close enough to not be too much over, and got all confused! Luckily I think I'll be within tolerance (with the extra padding of an outer box).

I will have 2 of each:

Length: 0.32m
Height: 0.20m
Width: 0.28m

Length: 0.30m
Height: 0.27m
Width: 0.27m

My math isn't what it used to be, apparently.

Hi

Just saw this... what is it your shipping? and where? i work for a courier / shipping co so could possibly help out - also what price have they given you?

Also depending on the means of shipping / road / etc the calculations are different.

PM me if you wish.

Darren.

1 cubic meter is way more than you need, as it adds up to .08m3 not .8m3

1 m^3 would be a helluva big parcel.

Anyway, what's in it?
