I want to sell my DT440's (please don't contact me until I list it in the For Sale/Trade forums, your offers will be ignored and deleted) but my mom made me throw away the box they shipped in (I still have the retail box but I don't think that'd make it through shipping) so I need a box. Does anyone know where I could get them? I could go to a UPS Store or FedEx Kinkos but the closest one is thirty minutes away from where I live and I'd prefer not to go that far just to get a box. Anyone have ideas?

How about your nearest Walmart, offfice depot or a bigger grocery chain?? Or there is always the trusty old USPS Post Office.. I guess you should not have to drive 30 minutes to the nearest Post Office..

Check with your local dentist or md. They have supplies in boxes of all sizes arriving almost daily. Let 'em know what you're looking for and they'll gladly help

You have to ship via priority mail in order to use those priority mail boxes.

And you can't just flip them inside outside, it's stamped priority mail on the inside.

I usually go to my local Costco or Sam's club for cardboard boxes, there are plenty of them lying around.

Next idea, an office supply store, such as Staples or Office Max.

The nearest one of those stores are nearly an hour away. I may as well just go to the UPS Store and buy a box there. I'll check at my work (they get food delieveries every Wednesday but the boxes are almost always designed for food and not electronics/boxes to be shipped inside them, making it hard or impossible to use for my purposes) and at the local grocery stores to see if they have any boxes that I could use, though I'm now having second thoughts about selling my DT440 so I may wait until I can afford some used SR-225's without selling the DT440's first and compare them which means that I'll get a box anyways.

The retail box for the DT440's has a plastic film window on it that takes up the whole front and one side of the box. I don't think the 'phone would come out "like-new" in the end.
