Where can i find large cardboard boxes?

[a66as]

need to ship a chair somewhere

where can i purchase / obtain a large cardboard box, chucked the one that came with it away

 

[Siliconslave]

check or ask on gumtree, freegle, freecycle etc for packing boxes, try popping to the local tip on a dry day (you can usually pick up boxes from their card recycling if they don't crush it) or try a supermarket / large diy store

Your local homeless camp.

at the cardboard box shop

You can buy boxes in various sizes from argos for house moving purposes, which will easily be large enough to fit a chair in.

Self storage places tend to sell boxes. Big Yellow is one we have around here.

Any self-storage facility like Big Yellow will also sell boxes and masking tape

Try your local toy supplier! Smyths were useful for me when I moved

Supermarket. I used to work for one in my teens and used to get folk asking for boxes all the time.

check the side streets around the Holborn tube station, you might even get a stained sleeping bag thrown in

Supermarket will give you a one

Depends how large. Your local argos store will have spares / sell large boxes.

If you need bigger, ask for the box from a pallet of catalogues. It's large and there will be plenty at the moment with the new catalogue launch.

This used to be the case when I worked in Tesco years ago, but having recently moved house a couple of times they have massively reduced the size of boxes on 'Health and Safety' grounds. Apparently picking up a 48 pack box of crisps weighing next to nothing was too much for some....

I got a pile of decent boxes from an auto spares place. Boxes designed to carry 50 packs of brake pads are pretty sturdy

Tried the rainforest? If it doesn't turn out to be suitable then you can always return it for free. Just box it up and post it back.

Oh wait...

Try your nearest B&Q store

Search on ebay for local sellers with lots of feedback and they'll have loads of spare boxes.

Do a google search? E.g.

Supermarket would be my first port of call, if I had no luck there I'd try a moving company such as Fox, I'm pretty sure they sell all kinds of boxes.
