Ambassador 307743 Packing Carton Double Wall Strong Flat-packed 610x457x457mm Ref SC-67 [Pack of 15] - Brown

Great sturdy boxes exactly as described. I bought these when I moved house 8 years ago and I searched through my Amazon history to buy again as they were perfect!As they are square they stack really easily, are robust enough to do so and are a great size for the balance of getting enough in and still being able to carry.

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.

These are good boxes. I found it difficult to rate in stars because it depends on what you want them for. General use I'd say 5 stars. Removals 4 stars. I used them to move stuff from the uk to Spain and most stood up to it but four of them split open and if we hadn't gone OTT with our tape we may have lost stuff. In short great for most things, but if you are moving abroad, buy some that are more sturdy. I've given 4 stars despite my experience because I don't want to be one of those people who gives a rediculously low score just because they weren't perfect for me! They are very good value for money!

If you've read any of my other reviews - and admit it, you know that you can't get enough of them - you'll be aware that I moved house and bought things to help me move.If you're moving house and you don't want to carry items in small bundles, cradled in your arms like an injured badger, you're going to need boxes. Lean in close and I'll tell you a secret... closer... not that close! - ok, perfect, here goes: the more stuff you have, the more boxes you'll need.I needed a few boxes. The Moving Committee approved the purchase and I bought some. As boxes go, these are fine for a move. I wouldn't bank on using them too many times after you move, as they are easy to damage, but that's ok. I erred on the side of caution and taped the bottoms with packing tape, just to avoid any unfortunate accidents. I'd recommend that you do the same.These are decent quality cardboard boxes. One thing to bear in mind: the bigger the box, the more stuff you get in it, so you won't need as many boxes. But. The more stuff you put in, the heavier the boxes will be. Something to do with physics, apparently.

Item was not as described. Boxes are described as measuring 61cm in length. I purchased them as this is within the limits for medium postage. Boxes arrived and all vary between 61.5cm and 63.8cm in length and therefore cannot be used as intended. Very disappointed when I was told I had to pay for my own return of these boxes if I wanted a refund. I was also not offered any form of apology which I think is very bad customer service. The boxes should not be advertised as exact measurements as they clearly are not exact. The boxes are great quality and very easy to assemble but do not buy if you are using for posting and need certain dimensions.

I bought a 15 pack of these boxes in the following size "WxDxH: 610x457x457mm" (also stated in the decription as "61L x 45.7W x 45.7H centimetres"). I was therefore expecting rectangular boxes that once folded will stand with the top/bottom openings on the longest sides, but the description is in fact wrong as the boxes are 610mm HIGH (not Long or Wide) meaning they have to stand in an upright position with the base and top opening on the narrower 457x457 ends (see image). This is not as useful for our packing needs as any contents have to get stacked up on top of each other or only partially fill the box, instead of distributing contents evenly across the larger 610x457 area. This shape of box is also more awkward to move around and doesn't stack as safely as it's too high. The quality of the boxes themselves is very good but you need to be aware of this issue.

Best boxes I've ever seen. Really strong, compared to other ones I've used. Great selection of sizes too.

The material of the boxes seems to be quite robust as it is a thick cardboard, however the boxes are folded in a not very practical way and to have them stay together you will need duct tape. The bottom of the boxes won't they shut if you don't tape them. I'm disappointed about that as I've had other cardboard boxes before that are pretty stable even without taping.The price is definately to high for this kind of boxes.Also, the delivery company seems to be pretty incompetend and unprofessional. I saw the delivery van driving in but instead of ringing the bell, the delivery man knocked the door once, put the boxes right in the doorframe and drove off straight away without even checking if somebody was home.
