Mailing a quilt

I am looking for a box or something sturdy enough to mail a queen size
quilt.

I've had a suggestion of a blanket box. But everything I've found on
the net is what I consider a blanket chest.

Any suggestions as to where to look and what to ask for.

I have had luck with going to the local UPS/FedEX shipment store and
looking for the most size appropriate boxes to ship whatever I want.
They have some that are of a grade that is called something like "Art
Shipping Quality" boxes or something like that. They are made a bit
thicker and are more sturdy than just your run of the mill cardboard
box. That has served most of my needs for shipment of things that I
didn't want to arrive in pieces or dammaged.

Hey John

Thanks for the idea. Checked for Fed Ex and there is a Kinkos about
30 miles from me.

This quilt is for my niece. She has been waiting 3 years for me to
make it.

With your help she will finally get her big hug from Auntie.

Thanks John.

Kate:
USPS also sells boxes. I realize your local stores and
services may not yet be up to par, so perhaps you could
look in a department store for a 'rubbermaid tub'
type box. I have mailed heavy stuff in one of those; I
used duct tape to seal and strap it. It went to Biloxi
soon after Katrina, in fact.
