Where can I get a few LARGE boxes for shipping some big items?

Question

Cheap or free? Any ideas? I think the grocery stores mostly carry small boxes. Thanks!

Answer 1

Go to a grocery store or store like Target and ask any of the employees on the sales floor, not the cashier or the others wondering around in the front, ask someone who is stocking shelves out on the actual floor and ask them. Most places would love to get them off their hands becasue otherwise they just get thrown away.

Answer 2

You can try several things:

* Either ask supermarkets if they have any plain boxes ( like TV boxes etcs. they don't want) and even if they have print you can buy some coloured duct tape can cover the box, it will also make it water-proof.

* Ikea stores sell them at reasonable prices- they have all kinds.

* You can also try the cargo offices, they have different sized boxes too.

Answer 3

An appliance store - think refridgerator.
Sometimes people who moved in run an ad about having boxes to sell or give away.

Answer 4

Try U Haul,Big Lot's,or the dollar stores

Answer 5

Find a contractor in your area that is building a new house. ask the superintendent if you could get some of the empty boxes that the kitchen cabinets are packed in.

Answer 6

Depending on how big, and they can be cut down, go to your local furniture store, also many times, she also have excess bubble wrap which they are more than happy to give away, saves on their dumpster bills, hope this helped.
