Thread: Moving Boxes

  1. #1

    Moving Boxes

    Moving soon and I could definitely use some. Lots of car parts to move around and then all my stuff at my apartment (clothes, kitchen stuff, you know the drill).

    Anybody have some or work for a company that wouldn't miss some larger boxes?

    Oh definitely. I can use the few I have for parts (that way if they get dirty, it's okay) and then use any clean ones for the other important stuff in my apartment (and all of Adam's diecast cars he has collected since birth). He collects way too much stuff.

    Where are you in Oconomowoc?

    The produce dept in grocery stores give them away for free. Just ask. I used to work in one, and their boxes were the best I have ever seen. Most of them were twice as thick and really good sizes. Call them and tell them that you'll pick up some boxes a day later. They well save them, but don't wait like 5 days to pick them up, or they'll be pissed. Also, you better have a big car to fit them all in.

    Why barrow someone elses boxes?? Get your own for free!!

    I've moved so many times I went out and bought a fleet of totes... They are great to have around, and come in handy for future moves...

    Moving again in a couple months and this time into a house, so hopefully it's the last time. I'll need boxes. I'll check with the local grocery stores, but figured I would bump this and see if anybody has any or works at a company that has extras they just throw away/recycle.

    Thanks!

    I can ask that any boxes at my work are saved, they range from file boxes to odd shaped one's. Perfect for lamps, clothes and odd sized stuff.

    Let me know I'll ask that they stuff the boxes into each other

    Since you seem to move a lot, buy some Rubbermaid Roughneck storage totes. I probably have 100 of the damn things. They're nearly indestructible (I even have some transfer cases in some), survive cold well, and when not in use stack nicely. They're like $6/each. Used to be able to catch them on sale 4/$11 but haven't seen that price in a while. I label each one with a 3.5x5 card and tape.

    Much more handy, are stackable, and have handles. Granted, I probably have at least $300 in them but they last forever. And I have a lot of shit.

    The 18 gallon ones are pretty much the perfect size. The smaller 12 gallon ones are great for cleaning supplies. They make bigger ones and those work great for bedding/blankets.
    Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.

    This should be the last time I move, so I am looking for temporary stuff that I can recycle afterwards.

    I did want to pick up some after Christmas since the red and green ones are often on sale, but I forgot.

    I just put up some Notes at work and have a good 10 boxes already stacked nicely, when are you going to start packing ?

    My work is located in Oak Creek

    If you do buy some rubbermaid containers head over to HOBO, you will not find them any cheaper then that place !!!!!!!!!
