I have a collection of Heljan models (predominantly class 47s) to Ebay over the coming months and was wondering if anyone has found a suitable postage box to dispatch the models to their new owners in? Unlike Lima and Bachmann I haven't found anything which matches the dimensions of the Heljan class 47 boxes plus an allowance for bubble wrap.
Last time I sold any I found a box which was sufficiently long and deep but rather wide in my then local post office which just about worked with a lot of bubble wrap and other packing materials. However since moving I cannot find anything suitable, either in post offices, office suppliers or searching online so wondering if anyone has any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestions and the links, sadly the pre-made boxes aren't big enough for the bulky Heljan packaging which for a class 47 requires 350 x 130 x 70mm before any allowance for bubble wrapping. Looks like I'll have to go down the road of building my own - like the idea of freebie banana boxes from the supermarket - never thought of that one!
