I have three Dell rackmount servers (2 2U, 1 4U) that I need to ship from Las Vegas to New York. Old shipping boxes that came with the servers were discarded sometime ago. Where can I buy some that fit nicely and can be shipped by UPS or Fedex? I've tried UPS, Fedex, and Uhaul already.

Thanks in advance.

Try Uline. They have a full range of shipping supplies including many specialty items for keyboards, laptops, etc. Their target audience is companies who ship things on a regular basis. So, you may get stuck with a minimum quantity and have to buy more than you need.

And they have more boxes than you can imagine. This URL should get you started:

PS: Sorry that many of the above URL's aren't hyperlinks. New users can only have one link per post.

I don't have a direct answer but when faced with a similar situation I simply used a whole lot of bubble-wrap and shoved it into a large very sturdy box that I obtained from a local moving company.

As @John Gardiniers says, lots of wrap and a sturdy box is great. Several shipping agencies in our area use a foam in place system and it works well and fully protects the hardware. Not available everywhere but link might help find a local location FoamInPlace

Call Dell Business or your Dell rep, I'm sure they can throw a few empty boxes your way.
