Here are some great places that 5 Movers recommends for finding used boxes for you move. If you have a shopping center near you, the stores there will always have boxes. The best boxes for moving are from book stores! Since you can’t put dirty and torn books on a bookshelf, the boxes need to be strong and clean!
Also, books are made out of paper and they are easily damaged so these bookstore boxes will be waterproofed. When you seal these boxes they will give your belongings the best protection possible. Clothing stores and department stores will also be a great source for used boxes. 5 Movers doesn’t recommend using boxes from supermarkets since most of the time they are not clean or from liquor stores since they cut the lids off the boxes.
5 Movers recommends 2 sizes of boxes for most of your moving needs. Theses are what we call small and medium size boxes. Use small boxes for any of your breakable or heavy items and medium size boxes for everything else. Remember never to pack heavy items into large used moving boxes.
They will be too heavy and the bottom can fall out!
