boxes for moving

Hey all, where could I get boxes in the local area? We have quite a bit to pack up. Any recommendations are appreciated! Thanks.

Lowe's, Home-depot, Staples all have them. Also the UPS store, U Haul, as well as some of the Self Storage places in the area.

If you want free very often on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace they are offered free. You can try Bottle King, Shop Rite liquors as well as both Shop Rite and Weiss supermarkets for free boxes.


Grocery stores are your best bet but be sure to talk with them ahead of time so they are set aside. Most stores have box crushers to maximize disposal so if you just show up there may not be any intact.

There are also some big warehouses in town. Most of them have a "truck" day. If you called them ahead of time, I am sure they would set them aside for you. Good Luck! :)

hi, Washington Liquors on W Washington Ave gives them away

Call first so they don't break them up first


John, if you still need some I have a bunch.........could be 10 or 20 I didnt count lol Message me on here, using the little envelope and we can make arrangements for you to snag them. Free for the taking, just pass them on when you're done if they are still in shape.

Shop Rite egg boxes are the best!!


Thanks for all the suggestions! I didn't realize how available these all are. I'll also message you directly, littlelu. Much appreciated, everyone.

Lowes, HD, and Staples all have moving supply sections in their store. So you might find other goodies you need as well.

keep in mind the regular boxes at Home Depot and Lowes and Staples are el cheapo. Get their heavy-dutiest ones.

Buy some packing paper and bubble wrap at Home Depot. Makes packing dishes much quicker.

I know this post is few months old.... Now August! Soes anyone have any MOVING BOXES -- not store ones (liquor store, Shop Rite, Weis).

They don't fit a whole lot & moving boxes tend to have handles. Any would be appreciated... thanks & have great day
