| 1210256 | 2011-06-18 07:45:00 | Hi What do you all do with your large hardware boxes? Eg monitor boxes, surround sound speaker boxes etc? Do you throw them away, or do you keep them because they may be useful when you shift or transport the monitor/etc it came with? What about the polystyrene inserts? |

| 1210258 | 2011-06-18 08:05:00 | I keep them for at least a year, in case I need to send anything back for a warranty claim. After that, I normally keep them anyway in case I end up selling whatever it is, and need to package it properly to courier. | somebody (208) | ||
| 1210259 | 2011-06-18 08:09:00 | Hmmm.... good question. Mostly I recycle them after removing the packaging, polystyrene etc. The boxes I flatten by stomping on them, and they go out on collection day. The packaging I keep, It comes in handy when posting stuff overseas and then it is the recipient's problem. Mostly my daughter who then uses it again to send back things to me! :lol: LL |

| 1210261 | 2011-06-18 08:25:00 | Boxfort! Whoa, that takes me back a number of years! My brother and I built box forts and played cowboys and indians using rubber shanghais and pick up sticks! They were mean projectiles and you really knew when you got hit with one! LL |

| 1210263 | 2011-06-18 08:45:00 | I built a teleporter once... but going back in time was too boring. usually its a stash job for 6 months followed by a crush/recycle or burn process. Inserts get thrown away usually since I live in wellington where its usually just easier to drop the part off at the manufacturers service center |
