Average Box Size.

[jaewing]

I realized the other day that If I were to order a box of Cigars and have them sent to my house that

1. they won't fit in the mailbox, obviously.

and

2. I don't have much of an awning or anything so the box would not be protected from the elements before I arrive home.

So I looked into getting a post office box for cigar orders and to use as an address for important letters, since I could get the mail earlier from there than it arrives at my house.

So, the question is: what are the dimensions of the average packaging used for a 25 count cigar box? Here is a link with the dimensions of the PO Boxes themselves for those unfamiliar with them. http://www.usps.com/receive/business...boxrentals.htm

What do you think?

Don't go with the P.O. box for hte reasons mentioned above. Any chance you can get deliveries at work . I do and it works great.

Don't know if this would work for you, but I believe you can have the post office hold all of your pkgs and just deliver you a slip stating it's at the PO.

I believe the call service costs more than a PO Box, not sure though. But if I get one size and keep getting packages that won't fit they will eventually force me to either get a larger box or to use the call service. Hmm...

Any cigars from a reputable dealer should be shipped water resistant inside of a plastic bag of some sort, plus the cello wrapper. They should be safe from anything except theft or a flood. You should do what I do. Simply have them shipped to your work address!

Everytime I order a box of cigars, the box they come in is a different size. Don't bother with a post office box. Just have them delivered to your house because most internet sellers use UPS and UPS WILL NOT ship to a post office box.
