Finding Quality Used Moving Boxes   by Samantha Vinson

There are numerous advantages to getting used moving boxes. You will be helping the environment and probably save some money in the process. Used moving boxes can be had for free if you look in the right places. However, be prepared to spend quite a bit of time asking around and visiting stores.

You could get lucky and know someone who has just moved and is looking to unload all their boxes. So if you know someone like this, then start there. Most people don’t want to keep all their moving boxes after they have unpacked all their items.

Most of the time, these people are more than happy just to hand over their boxes to you. Even if they do charge a fee, chances are you will still save money.

Department and retail stores may also have used moving boxes to give away. Grocery stores are an option as well, but the condition of their boxes varies quite a bit. You can also check out Craigslist and other sites online where people are looking to sell their boxes. I have seen some listings where the seller is willing to give them away for free as long as you go and pick them up from their house. Be weary however of what neighborhood you are going into.

Regardless of where you search for used moving boxes, always make sure they are in good condition. Using broke down boxes could end up costing you more in the long run if they don’t provide adequate protection for your items. Weak boxes are prone to collapsing, especially if others boxes are stacked on top while transported.

If you are lacking the free time to search for free used moving boxes, then try buying them online. There are stores that sell quality used boxes for a lesser price than new ones. They typically have all the sizes and types that you need for your move. This is a great option because it saves you a lot of time having to search around for free boxes. Also, you know that the condition of them is going to be good as well. Most stores online also will provide Free Shipping, no matter what your order amount is.

If you have hired or plan on hiring a moving company, they could give you a discount on their boxes. Some may even give them to you free of charge.

Keep in mind too that you will need to buy packing materials as well. Your most fragile items, such as dishes and glassware, will need extra protection so they don’t break.
