    I have to return my SRMs for a battery change, I cannot find the box that they came in.

    Can anyone suggest where I might get a box that could be used to ship a set of Shimano DA cranks? One thats not too big, and not too small.

    A shoebox and plenty of newspaper or bubble wrap?

    Buy a post box and bubble wrap. Post offices or stationery shops sell them. Or don’t bother with a box and reuse cardboard and wrap them flat with a piece of heavy cardboard between the pieces and around the axle.

    You could remove the chainrings and it'll all fit in a smaller box.

    Go shopping in LIDL, plenty of boxes there, get two boxes of same size and fit one into the other, bring a measuring tape. :rolleyes:

    I have a box off a crankset you're welcome to have. It should do the trick, working in Dublin 2, but fairly limited chance to meet up this week. Drop me a pm if you're interested.

    You might still want to throw some bubble wrap around it.
