Does anyone know a totally free way of obtaining a large amount of moving boxes (of any size)?
I figure I can ask some stores for any shipment type stuff - but any suggestions so I can narrow my search.
I tried craigslist.org and didn't find any (sometimes people list free boxes)..
Oh and I guess i can relate this to photography.. how? Well, I need boxes to move my stuff.. and some of my stuff includes my cameras, photos, and computer ;) See! It's related afterall. hee
thanks guys!

ask at your local supermarket... grocery store, whatever you call them in america. That's how we got most of our boxes when we moved.

| If you ask the produce folks at your market in the morning, they will usually put aside a bunch of matching boxes for you to pick up later. I especially like the nesting apple and orange boxes, although they've told me the banana boxes are the strongest -- but they're a little too big for heavy stuff -- just right for clothing/bedding if they're clean and dry. |

Too many of the boxes at liquor stores are cut, torn, or flimsy. The apple and orange boxes smell better too... |

| Go to a really big copy store (photocopy) paper boxes are strong and a good size. I worked at one when I was in university and we were always trying to get rid of them, i used them every year i moved while in school. |

Last time I moved I got boxes from a small plaza which none of the stores had a crusher but they all cut down the boxes so it made it easy to take the boxes home in the car, all I needed was a roll of packing tape and I was good.

I hate cutting myself on the broken glass though...I wouldn't mind so much if they just forgot a bottle in there...However liquor/corner stores are a very good source for smaller boxes (like snack foods come in) for pre-packing small items (like photo equipment).
