Where do I find a box for a 27" Cinema Display?

[Silly John Fatty]

I just bought one over the internet and need to get it delivered from there to here. The owner sadly doesn't have the original box anymore because it was so big and took so much space.

He says he can easily package it safely, but if I get a box it's fine as well he said.

Since these boxes are used to ship the items by Apple, they couldn't really be safer I guess.

My question is: can you buy these boxes somewhere? At an Apple store perhaps?
On Apple's website it says you can order one when you have to return something. But obviously I'm not returning anything and it was a private buy.

If you've got an Apple Store nearby, stop in and ask if they have any extra boxes in the back. If you need to lie, just tell them you're moving and threw your original box away. I used to work in retail and there was always an abundance of extra boxes in our stock room that took up space. I'm sure they wouldn't mind parting with one, and worst comes to worst, the don't have any.
