Moving can already be very stressful and difficult, and searching for boxes only complicates it further. However, we have good news for you because in this blog, we will talk about how to make your move easier, specifically on the topic of where and how to find free boxes for moving, and also how to save money on your local move.
But let’s briefly go through what we will discuss in this blog:
Where to Get Free Moving Boxes?
Grocery Stores: Supermarkets and smaller markets usually have an excess of boxes that they prepare for recycling. All you need to do is go to the nearest market and ask for boxes, whether it’s speaking to the manager or an employee, they will surely help you. This is the easiest way to find cheap moving boxes.
Bookstores: It is well-known that books are well-protected during transport, and they require sturdy cardboard boxes, making them ideal for your move since you will likely be transporting heavy items from your home.
Liquor Stores: If you are moving fragile items, boxes used for transporting alcoholic beverages or bottles are the safest for this type of move. These boxes often come with dividers, making them perfect for storing fragile items.
Offices and Companies: If anyone has the most boxes, it’s definitely offices or business premises. They frequently receive shipments in boxes, whether it’s technical equipment or just documentation, but you will surely be able to find free boxes for moving there. For them, these boxes only take up space in the office.
Online Platforms and Websites: Sites such as Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace also have offers for free boxes, and if you decide to purchase boxes because you couldn’t find free moving boxes, you will certainly find cheap moving boxes here.
