Where To Find Used Moving Boxes

Used cardboard boxes are everywhere. If you know of anyone who has moved recently, then you can ask them if you can take the boxes off their hands. Chances are they would give them to you free of charge; even if they charged a small fee, you would still be getting good value. Craigslist always seems to have people who are looking to unload their used boxes either for free or on the cheap.

As a society, we own more possessions now than ever before; this has increased the demand and supply for moving boxes. Once everything has been unpacked however, we are stuck with a lot of boxes that we don't know what to do with. We may want to hold on to a few for storage, but we no longer have a need for most of them. Even if we wanted to keep all the boxes, there just isn't enough room in most cases to accommodate them.

It's because of this that so many used cardboard boxes are available. If you do a Google search for used moving boxes, you'll find that there is a lot of websites that offer them.

The best website to visit is usedcardboardboxes.com, where they sell both new and used boxes. All the boxes are secondhand, even the new ones. They grab all their boxes from businesses that were otherwise just going to throw them away or recycle. Because some were never used or very lightly used, most are in excellent condition. Their approach is very eco-friendly because no trees are cut down to run their business.

Boxquest.com sells new moving boxes, but they also have listings for used ones as well. This works similar to Craigslist, where people in a certain area offer their boxes either for a fee or for free. You select the area you live in, then you get access to the listings. This is a good way to get cheap used boxes.

The best way to find used boxes is to do an internet search, as doing so will bring up a number of resources.  

Grocery stores and retail stores will likely have shipping boxes they can hand over to you free of charge. However, a lot of them aren't going to be as sturdy since they have been through the rigors of shipping. Also, you may not get the sizes your looking for. I would only advise this approach if you know far in advance that your moving. The reason is because it will take a lot of your time to gather all the boxes that you need.
