Guest_225 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Can anyone suggest a handy source for carboard boxes in a variety of sizes, madium to large? Preferably for free! I do a fair bit of selling on eBay and I'm always stuck to find the right size of carton. Once they were available from supermarkets, but now they crush and recycle them to make some money and meet their legal targets, PottS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 You could try places that sell wine - should be some boxes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye12 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Sandwich shops?/Cafe's You could try Staples? I T Firms tend to have quite alot to get rid of as they do packaging too but worth a try, I have a few due to moving home, but Retford may be a little far our for you to travel to, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Kiddick Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hiya Potts! Fruit shops have a continuous supply of strong apple & banana boxes. I find Morrisons usually leave their boxes out at the window bench that runs along the checkout isle. And of course, as mentioned good old Thresher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Idiot! We have deliveries at work every day in a variety of cardboard boxes. You ignore the obvious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom3t0 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 local shops will give for free, near enough anywhere that take deliveries, go to local shop - only across the rd (probably) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausagefinga Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I also sell a fair few bits on eBay, and whenever i need boxes i pick some up from the 24 hour Tesco. Im sure they do crush the boxes eventually, but time it right and you are in box heaven. When i go, usually between midnight and 2am, they are stocking the shelves and there are huge piles of them in all shapes and sizes in nearly every aisle. As long as you dont might your items arriving in boxes that say "36 cans of dried shrimp" on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 There is a Cardboard Box factory in Springfield near where The Simpsons live. Barts class visited it recently. It is near the Sandpaper Factory and the Peanut Warehouse I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
