Where To Buy Postal Boxes In Sheffield?

[RootsBooster 24]

Does anyone know where you can buy individual white cardboard postal boxes in Sheffield?

My local post office doesn't do them and I can only find bulk sales online (I only need one, not a pallet of 500)

Ryman's/Mailboxes&c, and probably larger post offices? - even my local one, located in a convenience store has them.

Can’t you use an old shoebox?

Not if he’s sending clown shoes.

Have you tried the post office in town? Don't know the name of the road sorry, its opposite the old sugg store. Hope that helps.

You could ask any of the market traders / shops in the vicinity if they have a used one?

Can you tell me where this post office is? I've been to quite a few now and none of them have plain white boxes

Thanks, before I go all the way out there, are they truly plain white or do they have other markings on them?

The ones I saw were plain white, but, IIRC, they did have a printed 'address panel'. Please note, I don't go in there very often, so don't know if they still have them. Like many PO's in convenience stores, their stock seems to change/be unavailable at times.
