Looking to move to a new house or apartment? One of the basic items you will need is boxes. Unfortunately, buying massive quantities of boxes online can be difficult and cumbersome. Perhaps you don’t have the time or car space.
Check out the list of possible places to get boxes for moving, including some free options.
Storage Facilities
Many local storage facilities offer moving boxes for sale. Instead of stressing over where to find reliable boxes, give them a call. They usually stock a variety of sizes tailored for different items, ensuring your possessions are safely packed.
Local Retail Stores
Retail giants like CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Liquor Stores, and BJs often have surplus boxes from their stock deliveries. It’s a potential goldmine for anyone needing moving supplies on a budget. Just call them up in advance to check if they’re willing to hand over some boxes. It’s sustainable and wallet-friendly.
Repurpose Online Order Boxes
In today’s digital age, many of us shop online. Instead of discarding the boxes that orders arrive in, save them. They can be perfect for packing smaller items or those odd-shaped bits and pieces. Over time, these accumulated boxes can significantly reduce the number you need to source elsewhere.
Ask Around
Head to your community’s social media pages and perhaps offer to take boxes off your neighbor’s hands. Many people have extra boxes lying around or have recently moved and are unsure of where to recycle them. You can also ask friends or family who’ve recently moved if they still have extra boxes you can reuse.
