Place to buy cardboard moving boxes cheap?
 

Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy cardboard moving boxes for cheap?

Need to find some good sized boxes soon and don't want to go dumpster diving.

Thanks :)

EDIT: Looking for someone/place in/near Richmond.

Go to your local grocery store. Ask any department for boxes and they'll be more than happy to comply.

you can get free ones from CL

I looked through a couple ads on CL but they're in Chilliwack.

computer warehouses are gold mines for empty boxes too.

just go to a futureshop and ask for it, they have tons in the back, ppl always come to grab some.

I got sick and tired of cardboard boxes, so I splurged and bought a shit load of Rubbermaid containers. You can get fairly big ones for 5-8 bucks each, on sale. They last forever, are very durable, and they are waterproof. They serve as storage boxes and stack easily. They store inside each other nicely when not in use. Best decision I made. I moved in the rain and the contents stayed dry.

costco has a box bin in richmond if im not wrong, you could try there.

same with any goverment liqour store they have tons and they are good quality to hold the booze

A company called BA Moving sold me a bunch of assorted sized boxes for $1 each, but I also used them to move me so I dunno whether it was a customer deal or whatever.

I also got some from U-Haul and they were $1-2 each. Still pretty cheap.

I think the liquor store has only small ones

so many damn boxes everywhere
try to get boxes with wax coating they last longer!
note that waxed boxes goes in trash not recycle

what kinda boxes are you looking for in terms of sizes?
there are tons in our warehouse

Just ones you could use for moving. I don't want to pack 50+ little boxes when I can shove everything in like 15-20 bigger sized boxes.


Thanks guys

Go to McDonalds and ask for boxes. The boxes that the french fries come in are the perfect size and they have tons of them and are more than happy to give them away. That's what I have used everytime I have moved.

well..if you want the place with the most boxes it has got to be toys r us!

this time of the year their storage rooms are PACKED with inventory and have lots of empty boxes to give you..

other places I tried would be zellers..they're more than happy to give you some cardboard boxes for free

Most of the boxes in the bin don't have flaps though,might try the Costco parking lot,as people buy big items and realize they can't fit them in their Yaris or they decide they don't need the box the Raisin Bran came in once they get to the parking lot.

u can just go into the back dumpster of a local grocery/ department store. they put them in a seperate dumpster and i see people go through them all the time. people might think ur cheap but who the fuck would ever pay for a cardboard box...

:tantrum















:haha:

FML I'm moving again. I need more boxes. I can't remember who was the guy that helped me out with all the boxes.

Thanks again guys

Just go to a grocery store and ask for apple boxes.

i went to zellers and toys r us and the hardware store in lansdowne...

all were really nice to give me free boxes

Go to McDonalds and ask for Fry boxes, they should have plenty, and should give them out for free

come to my work in BBY we have a large recycling bib full of clean flat boxes. good sized ones too. PM me for details if u wanna come out this far.

Go to any appliance store and ask for Oven or refridgerator boxes..
