Where could I purchase cardboard boxes cheaply?

Question

I went to UPS store, and found one cardboard box costs about $5; but I cannot afford for the price because I need to buy many boxes (more than 20). I need a new box for shipping of an item.

I would really appreciate if you would tell me any place, selling cardboard boxes cheaply.

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

I bought moving boxes at www.uline.com....uline.ca if you're in Canada. They shipped them to my door within 2 days, pretty cheaply. Also, you can go to your city's craigslist, and post that you would like boxes. I've found some there in the past.

Ups Boxes Prices

Answer 4

UPS is the biggest rip-off. I've purchased boxes and packing supplies on ebay. It is very reasonable when you are buying in bulk. You can also go to a big toy retailer like Toys R Us or drug chain and get them for free! They'll be happy to give you all the boxes you need.

Answer 5

If you don't really care too much about the condition of the boxes, you can always go to a department store and ask for there boxes. 9 times out of 10, they will just through them away or recycle them. You don't have to worry about anything coming out of your pocket either. Most of the boxes aren't too bad. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Try the grocery store. They'll usually sell them to you, less than the UPS store would charge you. Sometimes the value grocery stores have boxes available at the exits of the store. They're free for people to use instead of wasting bags. Smart Idea!

Answer 7

Go to the Post Office they have free boxes to use with priority mail and express mail.
You can also order them online:

Answer 8

Go to a local grocery store, restaurant, or hotel. These businesses have boxes and boxes of goods shipped in daily. Often they will be able to supply boxes to you for free or inexpensively.

Answer 9

If you can live with second-hand boxes, go to a grocery store and ask. Otherwise, try Wal-mart. The UPS store is likely to be about as expensive as it gets.
