Get Free Boxes For Moving With Century Packways


If you are really on a tight budget and need to save every dollar possible, there are some great ways to get free boxes for you move.  Buying boxes for your move isn’t cheap, especially at places like U-haul.   The bill alone for buying new boxes to box up your belongings can easily range from $20-50 depending on how many you need.  I know I’m not the only one who thinks that’s just outrageous for some cardboard.   I always advise people to start saving boxes for a move about 6 months ahead of time so they don’t have to buy them last minute before they move.

There are actually quite a few places that are likely to give you free boxes of various sizes for your move.   If you are near a grocery store then that is usually your best place to start.  Go to the fruits and vegetables department and ask a store employee if there are any extra boxes in the back that you can have.

Grocery store’s especially, as well as places like Walmart, Target, Costco, Sam’s Club, etc will all usually have a large supply of empty boxes folded up in the back from inventory shipments.   The high traffic and sales in these type of stores means that they keep emptying tons of boxes day and night.   I’ve never been turned away from these type of stores when asking if they could give me some of their extra boxes, as they usually go to be recycled or thrown away anyways.

A few other great places to get free boxes are stores like Sears, Best Buy, Walgreens, CVS and even gas stations if they have a decent convenience store inventory.  All of those beverages and snacks get shipped to the stores in boxes and almost any employee or manager would be willing to give you some of them for free as long as they aren’t too busy. Packers And Movers Bangalore Review

Ask your friends and family to save you any boxes they don’t need like shoe boxes, gift boxes or anything else that they may have.   After Christmas, there is an overwhelming amount of boxes lying around peoples houses and along the streets waiting to be picked up by the trash man.   Go around and ask your neighbors if its okay to take some as long as they are in good shape.   How many people would say no to letting their neighbor take some of their “trash” away for them? packing moving pune

The overall “answer” though to the question above is simply to ask around.   The stores I mentioned above, in addition to tons of other businesses around the country, will usually have no problem giving away their extra boxes.  All you have to do is go ask and I can guarantee you will leave with more boxes than you started with.  I hope this article helps, and as always, good luck and happy moving!
