Wanted: Styrofoam shipping boxes

My LFS only gets large coolers, like 24"-36".
I'm looking for very small, like 10"-12" styrofoam boxes.

Hey Johnny, you guys ship tons of corals from your ebay sales.
What do you use for shipping? Bags, "tupperware", styro boxes?
 
I have been building my own for a while on the table saw however, since i havent had much time lately, we have been buying them from our wholesalers. If your LFS cant help, let me know and i can sell you a few (not for profit).

More suggestions:
1. You can buy 3/4" thick styro at home depot, buy the cardboard boxes at OfficeDepot and just cut the styro to fit the box with a razor blade. This is time comsuming but the cheapest. you need to be accurate with your cuts or else the styro will be loose at the corners and your box wont insulate well.

2. Ask your local pharmacy or lab if they are throwing away any specimen boxes. Pharmacies and labs often send and receive merchandise inside insulated boxes.

3. Im going to look for a link, if you do end up using it, please let me know how well you like it.

I have 10 or so styrofoam boxes in my garage that I have accumulated over many online orders. The boxes are mostly small but I may have one or two large ones. If anyone wants them PM me and you can come pick them up...I need the space

Here you go, you owe me one :),
Styrofoam Box

THAT is exactly what I was looking for.
Box and cooler together, no muss, no fuss.

You're right, Johnny. I owe you one.
 
I have bought boxes from the several times for moves. Make sure you order them online. They are like 3-4 times the price if you walk in off the street.
 
Jawz off of 95 and broward blvd. has a stack of cooler/boxes outside. I don't think they reuse them so I would give them a call.
