    Hello,

    I am returning an item to Amazon and looking to buy a cardboard box or large envelope that would fit:
    40 cm length x 30cm height x 20cm width.

    Any place in Limerick where I could buy such a box?

    bubble wrap it assuming you dont have original packaging drop it in post office

    You could ask in your supermarket or local shop when you pick up some groceries - they are full of boxes which they are getting rid of.

    I have the original packaging of the item but I thought we need to send it back in a covered box or wrap like you mentioned to avoid damage to original package.
    Where do I get bubble wrap easily available?

    You can buy wrap in Tesco, Deals, Mr Price

    Mr Price also sells postage boxes and bags.

    Supermarket or off licence might be able to save you a box if you ask in advance.

    From moving houses before, alcohol boxes (prosecco, wine etc) tend to be handy as they're normally heavy duty cardboard.

    Back in February a friend was moving overseas and we went to Silkes to see if we could buy shipping boxes. They had none for sale but the person working there brought us in to the back and let us take our pick of tens of boxes they had received stock in that were going for recycling!

    If you have the original box, just wrap it in a bin bag and duct tape it up. As above, off licences are good for boxes.

    Thank you everyone.

    So basically I used the cling film and attached the label on it :D
