I’m needing to ship a bucket of platinum to a friend of mine. I don’t have the box it came in, does it even need a box? Anyone have any cost effective ideas on packaging it? 

Depending on the size I guess, but when I receive my Platinum its not in a box, just the bucket.  I'd just tape the top really well.

Same.. it's always just the bucket from the fed ex guy 

Same, we just get the bucket - but they are still factory sealed and not likely to pop open in transit.

lots of tape if it’s open.

I would just tape the lid up good and just put a shipping label on it and ship. 

Ended up taking it to fedex and they shipped the bucket! Thanks everyone!
