Naim boxes which aren’t Naim boxes

I was unable to retain all my original Naim boxes. Fully aware that these are still available via dealers. They are also expensive as cardboard goes.

I now need boxes for a 200, 202, HC and NAPSC and quickly. Anyone know decent companies who can provide double boxed custom sized and ship quickly?

I have a collection of old boxes which in your scenario, I would just open out flat, and create a box around a new shape. Not too hard, if you are OK with tape and a Stanley knife. Double boxing easily possibly then.

Other than calling your dealer, I dont have any other solutions. Sorry.

I understand the problem. You are probably going to be able to source or make suitable cardboard boxes.

Naim’s ‘nappies’ (the two expanded pieces plasticky foam that hold the item within the box) strike me as the difficult bit.

The nappies seem a clever piece of design because if the box is stove-in during transit, the air gap would offer a bit of protection.

Hope you can work something out.

I’ve lots of cardboard and foam balls to pack around the kit. I’m sure they have a proper name but I’ll just say “annoying as glitter”.

Surprising situation really. Part exed the Naim for my new amp but the dealer really hasn’t pushed on it at all. We’re eight months down the line!

I have had so much on my plate post retirement I’ve simply not got around to getting it all to them albeit I’d have prioritised if they’d asked.

At this point the new amp needs to go back to Poland and it has to go via the dealer to avoid Brexit/VAT issues. I can hardly send them the new amp and ignore the fact I’ve effectively not paid them in full so it makes sense to have them collect everything at once.

Just amazed they’ve not asked where it all was.

As far as i know, cardboard boxes are available through service centres or dealers.
A few years ago, you could also order labels with SN. Now probably the latter is no more possible

Just ordered three custom boxes via Boxtopia. All three the same system so the third will easily take a HC DR, NAPSC and Powerline.

My cats favourite.
