Where can you buy cardboard boxes round here?
Fairly big ones that can be used for mailing stuff... I tried a couple of Emirates Post places, but their shipping boxes are just a tad too small for my needs, plus I start losing the will to live within about 30 seconds of walking into a branch of EP - so no change from British post offices, then...

What kind of quantity are you looking for? If it is a business scenario (as opposed to just a couple of boxes required for personal use) I can get you contact details for some packaging companies that will make them to spec..

I only need one box at the moment, to post a gift back home, and it's just slightly larger than the largest Emirates Post mailing box. Does that relocations place sell boxes the same way that the self-storage places back home do, or does it only sell in quantity?

Re: Where can you buy cardboard boxes round here?
there is a new office supplies company opened Office Outlet in Al Quoz
http://www.officeoutletme.com/fullpage.asp?pageid=8
they sell large boxes http://officeoutletme.com/detail.asp...051&catid=1216
alternatively why not get DHL or FedEx to drop off a couple of their Jumbo boxes to your office (they dont charge for them)
