    What is a recommended box size for shipping 2 22oz bottles?

    I don't know what type of packing materials you can get, or how you plan to ship, but keep in mind that UPS/FedEx charge by weight, not the size of the box. At least for smaller packages. Since bubble wrap and crumpled paper weigh basically nothing, it's never a bad idea to use a box that may be bigger than you need but gives you room for plenty of extra protection.

    Are you sure, this doesnt make sense. They always measure my box and it would make sense box size matters as bigger boxes take up more space and shold cost more.

    Good to know. I deal with UPS at work, and the only time dimensional weight comes into play is with large, light boxes.
    I'm sure that will change. If FedEx is doing it, UPS will do it.

    A basic somewhat sturdy box a little bigger than a shoebox should be fine
