Where to Find Moving Boxes at Low Cost to You

Boxes, Boxes, and More Boxes!

The internet is packed full of useful moving tips from how to recruit friends to get the best deals on professional movers to cleaning effectively before a move. The one aspect of moving that not many consider in the preplanning portion of the moving process is boxes- where to get them without spending a painful amount. Not to worry! Shleppers moving company in New York City has over 40 years of moving experience, is here to share our top tips when it comes to moving boxes.

Low-Cost Options for a Smooth Move

Of all the necessary-but-annoying moving costs, boxes are one of the worst. After all, no one wants to pay for cardboard that will just have to be recycled after moving day, and brand-new moving boxes are certainly not cheap. Thankfully, there are ways to avoid spending too much on some boxes.

First, check your local liquor store. Wine and liquor stores receive more boxes than they know what to do with, so most don’t mind someone taking a few of those boxes off their hands. The boxes can easily be turned into moving boxes, but many also come with cardboard dividers used to prevent glass bottles from breaking, making them the perfect solution for packing glassware. Pop in and ask the manager if you can take a few before your next move. Also consider large retailers. With shipments coming in almost every day, larger retailers have massive amounts of boxes that need to be broken down and recycled. After all, they’re called “big box stores” for a reason. Finally, check out your local recycling drop off. After a move, boxes go right to the recycling, so recycling drop off locations are essentially the moving box jackpot. Assuming those boxes are in good enough shape to be reused, you’ll likely find boxes of all different sizes to match your moving needs.

All these options considered, it’s important to remember that with used boxes or makeshift moving boxes, you may not always get exactly what you’re looking for. Choosing secondhand boxes can be a risk, as they may not be sturdy enough to package your valuables and fragile objects. Shleppers offers low-cost boxes of all sizes to ensure the safety of your more important belongings while not breaking the bank and is a great option if you’re looking to stay on the safe side when it comes to your next move.
