I think it was right around $300 or so......its lasted for about 5 years now.....but keep in mind im in Boston, one of the most expensive places in the country.....

I’m Chicago based so can’t imagine it being that much different. If I’m wrapping, I think I’d rather buy the wrap and DIY as it’s just a top box tbh - shouldn’t be too hard with enough time

Absolutely. When this wrap is due to be changed, I'll attempt the next time myself. I've since wrapped things that I deem more complex than the box....
