Ambassador Packing Carton Double Wall Strong Flat-packed 305x229x229mm Ref SC-58 [Pack of 15] , 307620

I am very careful about writing reviews. I rely on them myself, and am aware that just as an unfairly bad review can really damage a business, an unjustifiably positive review leads others into wasting their time and money.I bought two packs of the 610 x 457 x 457 mm.A complete waste of money.The 'double' wall is a feature without function, since the one wall is so narrow as to be almost invisible. In fact, I was ready to return them, thinking that I had been shipped the wrong items.At this size, with this wall-strength, these boxes can barely support their contents, bulging and sagging. Stack them, and they just collapse.I thought that I could make do by doubling-up, one box inside another, but the cardboard is of such low quality, soft and easily creased, that they still sag and buckle.Even when glued together with PVA-glue, one skin inside the other, they still slowly crumple.I am sure that if there was any dampness, they would just collapse.Rubbish.

Yes there's aren't the cheapest boxes, and if they were sold at their "rrp" they would be exorbitantly expensive however they are very high quality and definitely worth the little bit extra when compared to cheap boxes. Not quite sure why the picture shows loads of different size boxes as you will receive 15 457x457x457 boxes.The boxes, as you would assume, arrive flat packed bound with a couple of strong straps, the cardboard is (for lack of a better way of describing it) pre scored so folds in the right places. With a few pushes and a bit of tape your boxes are complete. The cardboard is thick and high quality so you have confidence when you're loading them up. We filled several boxes most of the way full of books and there was no hint of them coming apart, the only reason I didn't fill them to the top was the worry that the tape holding the bottom together would not stand up to it. And the fact that they were super heavy.After we finished using them for our house move we gave them to my parents for their move, apart from having to scrub out the old contents list they held up perfectly and have been put aside for a later move.

A bit disappointed with this order tbh. I ordered the big boxes on 29 April and they arrived 4 May - ok delivery but they were on Prime which should have delivered on Saturday 30th!!! Then when arrived they look as though they have already been used as there are labels on them and a bit scuffed. I was expecting brand new ones for max strength and also to be covered in plastic just in case they had to be left outside when delivered if I wasn't in. Luckily, I was at home to take delivery!! I haven't used them yet but will later today. I do hope they are all strong enough for their job!!! I shall up date with photos of labels when I can!

Have bought quite a few sets of these, usually from WER seller. This time got them from seller called packaging products direct and they're noting like as good. They're 610mm high by 457 wide for starters, and theyre made of thinner cardboard and don't have the score lines for variable height. Definitely recommend using the seller WER in future, not packaging products direct.

These boxes are amazing, we have just packed our entire house with them. We used the 457x457x457 which were the perfect size, and if they start to get too heavy, the sides have slight indents you can cut down to, making them easier to fold if you need a shorter box. Walls of the boxes are twice as thick as ones we have used from homebase in the past. They hold a lot of weight and don't buckle at the sides when overfilled, we had no issues with broken bases when carrying. Well worth the extra £2-3 over cheaper versions on here.

Sturdy and will allow you to fit a lot in. They come flat-packed so you need to put them together. We just fold the bottoms and reinforce with 2 stripes of duck tape along the seams vertically and horizontally. The size is perfect for one person to carry a box (even if you are petite like me). The only downside is that you need cut out handles be yourself. We use glass cutting knife to cut U shape and bend part of the cardboard outwards and upwards. Brilliant product as 15 good size boxes for that money is difficult to get!

I am very pleased with these. They came wrapped in corrugated card/paper which I could recycle too. I found that they were easy to fold and tape up. The scotch packing tape I used adheres well to these. I don't know why it is, but some tape just won't stick properly to some types of card, but no such problem with these. The tabs fold and meet perfectly without any gap or overlap which I found quite impressive.

First of all, as others have said, the photo is obviously misleading, but if you take a moment to read the description of the items hopefully you'll work it out by yourself.The quality of the cardboard itself is actually not very good, so if you expect to pack something heavy or move the boxes around a lot, be warned, they might break or tear apart.However it all depends what you put inside and if you don't overfill the boxes (and the content is not too heavy) then they'll be fine.
