Comic and Mag boxes

[Philip Ayres]

Any recommendations for getting Comic and Mag boxes from online?

I've had a look and some of the prices are a little on the high side....

There's a great irony in that shipping a cardboard box costs as much as the cardboard box inside it...

I tend to buy comic boxes in shops when I need them. Reed comics have a maximum postage charge of £5 now and they sell 50cm long boxes for £6 a box if that's any help.

I ended up buying 3 long boxes off eBay for £20 delivered.

One's gone under the bed to house a split in the Panini box: Avengers & Mighty World of Marvel have moved over leaving X-Men & Wolverine by themselves (Spider Man already had it's own box). I was tempted to do it Avengers/Wolverine and X-Men/MWOM, to match how they're paired on release but since the other long boxes are themeatic (X-Men, Avengers, Old Panini X-Men & Wolverine, Annuals, Mantlotainment) I stuck with what felt right.

The other two went in the loft of joy and were used to collect up the piles of comics I no longer need due to trades which are up there. I must do something with these. Alpha Flight I couldn't part with, especially as it contains some issues that Dad brought home from work and the very first US issues I properly bought myself (AF 22-25) But there's a good 2 + long boxes that I should eBay/charity shop (Do Oxfam still take them?)

I also found a issue of TF: Infiltration 3 which I didn't know I had and the FF/X-Men limited series which I will at some point weaponise in a True Friend style.

Oxfam take and sell comics. I uae their bookstores regularly to both donate and procure issues.

I think I've seen some places do boxes but sending them one in 3 or 5.
