Hi,
I've been looking into different solutions for having my trays set up over a longer period of time and also avoiding the problems with smell and oxidization(?). At first, my eyes fell on the Nova Monochrome "standing trays" / tank, but it's a bit too expensive for me. Turns out buying the necessary material cut and ready for assembly in a DIY-project is too expensive as well.
Then I started considering the idea of having trays stacked in a shelf-like construction (to reduce table footprint), with lids on when not in use. The trays I have aren't very well suited for putting a lid on, so I was looking for ready-made plastic boxes on the Internet.
I found this:
http://www.westonboxes.com/collections/sra3-storage-boxes
It's a company in the UK, marketing a box for A3+ paper (bleed margin) with a lid on it. It's the correct size for 12x16" paper and it's not very deep. The height could probably be modified if you need it to be less deep than so.
Problem is the shipping charges from the UK to Sweden is more than double the price of three boxes - about £110 according to the seller.
Any idea if this is a reasonable shipping quote? Could it get lower from a different courier? Is there any other way around this problem?
Thoughts in general?
Have a nice day everyone!
