Any suggestions on where to get hold of boxes for moving house??

I’m in the UK, or more specifically if anyone can pinpoint local places, I’m in Swansea!

Hi, i have moved 18 times due to husband works. Have you a Currys or any retailer near by they very often fold down their boxes and place in large bins, ring before you go to find out when they get their deliverys. Don’t pack things in draws just take the draw out and place it in a bin bag with a label so that when you get to the other end you know what room it’s belongs.

    Oh sorry I’m in Chicago but around here the best place to get boxes is the liquor store. They have those nice divided boxes which work well for glasses and kitchen items. You look like a lush moving into the neighborhood, on the other hand.

    All of the many self storage places sell boxes, or you could try supermarkets for free ones.

    Try a printer’s shop – they go through a huge amount of paper which usually comes in excellent boxes for moving. An appropriate size w/ a lid.

    sainsburys used to stack unwanted boxes. argos sells them (home delivery only, so make sure you order in time), or search the net for storage, those companies that provide off site storage also sell packaging

    You could go to a storage company eg Yellow Storage (although the closest one to you is Cardiff and they can be expensive). or try a local supermarket

    If you are using a removal company ask them if they have any. If you’re not using an actual company, they might be able to lend/sell you some boxes. Where I live there is a removal company that sells boxes for such purposes.

    removal firms will have them. i think they sell them or rent them. if your moving with a removal firm they will supply free of charge.

    most businesses recycle old boxes. Ask any business! They’ll love to unload their boxes on you!
