Packing boxes for moving have many great uses, which include house moving, storage and shipping and they are used by the public as well as businesses too. Deciding which types of box you are going to need, along with the size and quantity is one problem. The next problem is finding where you can buy boxes from.
Twenty years ago you could have gone down to your local supermarket who would have had hundreds of second hand boxes that you could use and they would have given them away for free; but those days are long gone. Most supermarkets re use their packaging and recycle their packaging and will not offer anything away for free now, so this has made boxes much harder to find.
Buying from a packaging manufacturer is also out of the question. The reason being because they will only deal in huge quantities of boxes, which is far from ideal for house moving. They often force you to buy a full pallet load of large cardboard storage boxes at a time, which includes thousands of boxes, which is far more than you need for moving. Ideally you’ll want fifty to one hundred boxes for a large house move, or much less for a smaller move.
There are very few retailers on the high street that sell boxes too. The only ones that do, will offer a very small selection at an unreasonably high cost, which are usually found at home ware stores. They often sell plastic boxes too, but these are only good for storage purposes and should not be used for house moving because of the cost.

- You should ideally buy boxes from an online house moving packaging specialist.
