Where to Buy Moving Boxes?

I got mine from craigslist. People want to get rid of boxes so they offer them for free if you come pick them up.

I second craigslist. If you dont see any on there, call around to computer consulting companies. If they do a lot of projects, they end up with a LOT of very nice boxes that the computers are shipped in, (they are sturdier than the moving boxes Uhaul sells and they have nice handles on the sides!) and most comanies just throw them away. We always post ours on Craiglist and they are gone the same day. (Sorry we don't have too many right now.)

SORRY - she needs them back.

We have a bunch of boxes. I was supposed to give some of them back to a friend - but I think she was just going to store them for possible future use. I will call her later today and see if she really wants them back or not. If she doesn't - then you can have them.

Hi L.,

Try the U-haul store.

Dont buy, go to your nearest Costco if you are a member and ask the morning merchandising manager if they can put aside some for you to pick up when they first open. Hopefully they will be nice and do so. If you want to buy nice boxes Costco.com sales them with all the packaging material and its not to pricey.

We got ours from the U-Haul store. Also, ask stores when they get shipments in and see if they will save some for you.

Lisa,

We live in Surprise and I have a lot of boxes you could have if you want to pick them up. We operate a business out of our home and have mainly large boxes. Call my cel ###-###-#### and we can set up a time.

U-Haul sells boxes but I'm not sure how much they charge. I've also seen moving boxes at Walmart and Home Depot. It's always great to get free boxes but I have a caveat on that. Last time my family moved, we got boxes from my MIL who had also recently moved. Apparently she had stored the boxes in her garage until we used them and when we moved to our new home, we brought along a TON of silverfish in the cardboard! Obviously the silverfish weren't visible before the move or we wouldn't have used the boxes, but once we were got all of our belongings here, they started to come out. Ick.
Best of luck with your move! :)

Unless you have a reason to buy boxes...call your local grocery stores or bigger stores to put aside boxes. They are always helpful especially if you can catch them on delivery day before they crush them. It's always worked for me, and I usually end up with more than I need. Wal-mart, Fry's, Basha's, etc.

Look on craigslist. (www.craigslist.com)People post free moving boxes all the time. Also, you can go to your local grocery store and ask them in the produce section for apple & orange boxes.
