Free boxes for moving

free boxes

Where can you get free moving boxes from?

There are actually many places where you can get free boxes for packing and moving.

Try for example:

  • Liquor stores (They’d love to get rid of their wine boxes without having to unfold them)
  • Grocery stores (All of them will give them to you, just ask)
  • Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Costco will love to give your their extra cardboard boxes for free. The movers won’t complain.
  • Find out when recycling is picked up in your neighborhood. (Walk around your neighborhood 30 – 45 minutes before the recycling truck shows up and you will most likely find a bunch of used boxes)
  • If you are moving into a storage unit, make sure you ask them if they have used boxes you may have. Most of the time they will have them and they will gladly give them to you if you are moving into their storage facilities.
  • You can also try Craigslist, Freecycle, and even the app OfferUp for free boxes.

Packing Tips – Recommendations and advice


Packing tips are free. So, here you go:

Before packing, we recommend you have a yard/garage sale to get rid of unused or unwanted items. This is usually the best way to purge items that are no longer needed. Nowadays technology makes this task very easy. Many people use craigslist.org or OLX.com to post their items for sale, as well as Apps like OfferUp and LetGo.

At the end of the day, donate the things that didn’t sell. The less items you have to move, the easier and less expensive the move will be!

How to pack books

How to pack books?

Before we start packing books, we must know the right size box for them. Books are heavy!

The book box is 1.5 cubic feet and measures 17”x12 3/8”x 12 3/8”. This box is the smallest of the standard-sized boxes, and because of that, it is the ideal choice for packing heavy items and small items.
This is one of the most common moving box sizes, and can be used for a wide variety of items.
Never pack books in big boxes. They won’t hold the weight and most people won’t be able to move them.

How to properly pack books in 3 easy steps

Step 1: Prepare the Box for Packing

If you are using new boxes, you’ll need to put them together first. Make sure you seal the bottom well by doubling the amount of tape. If you’re-using a recycled box, we recommend you always tape the bottom again with packing tape to make sure it will hold. Continue reading “How to pack books”

Packing a Wardrobe Box – Great way to move clothes hanging in your closet

One of the best packing tips we can give you is to always get all of your household items packed into sturdy cardboard boxes. (Plastic bags won’t really work)

It is specially designed to safely transport hanging clothes during the course of the move (Hanging closet clothes, such as coats, boutique items, suit jackets, dresses, and any other hanging shirts or pants).

Your clothes will not become wrinkled during the move, because you can leave your clothes on the hanger.

Packing and Moving TVs, Artwork, Pictures & Frames

If you’re packing monitors, moving TVs, photos, large pieces of artwork or other framed prints, you need to know how to prepare them for moving so you don’t end up with broken screens/glass or chipped frames. We will now show you how we do it.

*Packing tip:

When moving large pieces of artwork, it is best to pack each piece in a separate specialty box that is slightly larger than the frame you’re packing. If you can’t find specialty boxes, take apart a used box and flatten it.

Or simply get an 8-pack like this from Amazon to protect all your priceless artwork, mirrors, and TVs:
