No one actually enjoys moving. Relocating - whether across town, out of state or around the world - is a major hassle and can become quite costly. This is why many people balk at the idea of paying for moving boxes or shipping containers for their household goods and their personal items. But there are ways that the average person can avoid having to pay for moving boxes.
Check with your local grocery store or retailer, they can be a valuable source for free moving boxes. Many times grocery stores and retailers alike throw out old boxes on certain days, many of these boxes can be used as moving boxes and most groceries and retailers are more than happy to let someone haul the boxes off for free. Just be sure you are there on time to get the boxes before they are smashed or collapsed, most stores have locked dumpsters that they use specifically for cardboard. And make sure you ask permission to take any boxes before actually taking them, some stores DO recycle their used boxes or return them to manufacturers for credit.
Liquor stores can be another great place to get free moving boxes. Again, they usually set out old boxes at certain times on certain days. Be sure to speak with a manager before taking any boxes and make sure you get permission. Liquor boxes are especially sturdy and are great for packing books, dishes and fragile items - they are usually smaller in size, so they won’t work for larger items.
If you can’t find any free moving boxes through local grocers, retailers or liquor stores, ask friends or family if they have any boxes leftover from their own recent moves. Many people save their empty boxes after moving and most people aren’t willing to throw them away, but are willing to give them away.
Check local classified ads or online ads, you will likely find many free moving boxes that people are giving away. If all else fails, you can post your own ad and ask people for moving boxes, you’ll be surprised at how many calls or emails you’ll get. Moving boxes take up a lot of space and most people are willing to let them go for nothing as long as you come get them. With the high stress of moving and the high cost, finding free moving boxes can save you some money and ease some tension during your move.
