Top 5 Places to Get Cheap Boxes for Moving

SCITUATE, R.I. - Dec. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Packing up all of your precious old school CDs? Need to pack your apartment on a budget? The worst place to try to get CHEAP moving boxes is from a moving company, like U-Haul. Moving companies graduate the prices much higher than market price. Here are the top 5 places to get cheap moving boxes.

Be a good neighbor

The first place I suggest to look for cheap moving boxes are from your neighbors, especially new neighbors. If you have new neighbors, they probably needed boxes to move into the complex, and have most likely unpacked everything and no longer need the boxes. Be a good neighbor and take the used boxes off their hands.

Trash diving

I usually don’t condone digging through other people’s trash; however, there are many stores that have a lot of boxes that end up in the trash. A great example of this would be a shoe store, or a computer store where they just need the boxes for shipping, but afterwards, need to get rid of them.

Craigslist

On craigslist, depending on which city you are in, I have seen FREE boxes under the ‘for sale’ column and the ‘free’ link, every once in a while. This can be helpful since these people obviously want to get rid of their boxes and all you need to do is give them a call.

Retail Stores

If the first three methods of getting cheap boxes don’t work for you, try going to your local retail stores. The boxes are very reasonably priced and they have many sizes to fulfill your needs. They are also a great place to get tape, markers and any other moving supplies.

PackagingSupplies.Com

There is of course, the best online retail-packaging store where you can get cheap boxes. One is called PackagingSupplies.com, which sells quality boxes. You purchase their boxes and then can use them for all you’re packaging and moving needs. Packaging Supplies also works to sell environmentally friend boxes, along with being big recyclers themselves in order to be as self-sustainable and minimize the overall impact on the environment.
