Do you know anyone who can get them from work??
My MIL got us a TON of boxes from her job. She asked the mailroom guys to hold the big boxes for her and we used those.

I always go to supermarkets or better yet liquor stores. Their boxes are strong and they're always happy to give their boxes away. Happy Packing Chat Icon

I have purchased boxes from U-haul, but the last time they were $$$$-they do last forever though. I've gotten some from my job too. The liquor store kind were always just a little too small.
Try putting a post on the wanted section of craigslist or freecycle. People are always giving them away after they move or because they bought too many.

I got most of them at Costco and then I went and bought them at a Packaging store in Holbrook. It's on the corner of Vet's and Broadway.

Re: where do you get moving boxes?

Boxes can be pretty darn expensive. If you or anyone knows of a store that has just opened up, try there first. They usually just throw their boxes behind the store and these are new and very sturdy. This can save you a bundle of money. Good luck with your move.Chat IconChat Icon Chat Icon

We got boxes from officedepot. My SIL recently moved and she says that Clear Stretch Wrap is really great. I don't know if anyone has used it.
