Ktttk Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 hi guys, I am looking to get some polystyrene boxes for shipping fish. Can I get some suggestions as to where I can purchase them in Auckland? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 You could try asking at fish/pet shops The hospital (they carry meds and stuff in them) And at a Butchers too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Most medical practices receive vaccines in them and will happily give them to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Yeah I get mine that way (handy to work for a GP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy29 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 local chemists have them for medications as well , they will probably give them to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktttk Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thank you for all the suggestions. Whilst these are all good suggestions, and I'll definitely try them out, I would also be interested in a more reliable source (in terms of availability) where I can purchase from. I remember getting a pretty decent quote from a place in Auckland when i made some inquiries earlier on this year, but can't seem to retrace my steps to find them again..

Bananalobster Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Well I doubt this is very reliable so pardon me.... But I know supermarkets have HEAPS of them, used to get them from there for free all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Doctor who vaccinates against anything will have a regular supply of them - they will be very happy to let you take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely give them a try then.. I thought they would recycle the boxes back to the (vaccine) suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they pay to dump them (stupid, I know - we tried to start a recycle / reuse scheme in Christchurch and the suppliers wouldn't do it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
