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.

Tip #3: Label the boxes with a list of contents and the room to which they belong.

Grand D2024-08-31They move fast and they take care of your belongings.
Laura Monacelli2024-08-30Emir and his crew did a great job moving a marble table upstairs for us; did the move quickly and easily, saving us lots of time and stress!
Ziggy Zacks2024-08-30The guys came on time (bright and early) and worked efficiently until the job was done. Would definitely recommend.
Alisyn Amant2024-08-28Boyan and Milo were great. Any questions I had were quickly answered both beforehand and during. The day of, the move went smoothly, and the price was definitely worth it. They even tried to help me capture a hurt pigeon to take to a rescue, which genuinely made my day! Can't recommend Magical Moving enough and I would definitely use their services again. (P.S. If you ever read this, Boyan and Milo, I was able to get the pigeon help after you left!)
Tom Shebell2024-08-28Ok this company rocks! They are so professional and meticulous. It really was like magic. They moved a GIGANTIC Restoration Hardware sleeper couch for me (easily the heaviest couch I’ve ever seen and another company failed to move it). They wrapped it up like a present in moving blankets and plastic. Communication was unlike any company I’ve ever seen. Price point, excellent. Thanks!
Zachary Rich2024-08-26Excellent service from start to finish !
Sara J2024-08-25Everyone at Magical Moving was awesome! From the beginning of requesting the quote, to followups before the moving date, they showed stellar care and attention to detail. On the day of move, the team showed up on time and was incredibly polite and respectful. They handled our move quickly and efficiently, handling all of the boxes with care and making everything super easy for us. What really impressed me was how they went out of their way to help another moving company, Piece of Cake, that was having trouble in the loading dock and couldn't even finish their move. Boyan and his crew didn’t have to help, but they did it anyway—it just shows how kind and professional they are. If you’re looking for movers who are not only great at what they do but also genuinely helpful and friendly, Magical Moving is the one to call. Can’t recommend them enough!
Calla Phillips2024-08-23The entire Magical team was amazing!! They made our move so stress free and were extremely professional. We ended up having more furniture than expected and they were so understanding and accomodating - highly recommend!
Tracy Hall2024-08-21Punctual, communication is one of there strong points and I look forward to our next adventure coming up within the next month.
Neo Nyc2024-08-16This is a real review. I hired Magical last weekend on Thumbtack and all of their reviews said very professional service and incredible customer service. I thought it was an exageration but it was not! I have NEVER had better communication, follow up, and genuine interest in my satisfaction from any other business. I have a small business and I learned a lot from their customer service. I found their fees reasonable and I didn't even get another quote (which is not like me). Highly recommend.
