Need a ton so happy to buy them vs picking up 1s and 2s from shops etc.

Amazon ones seem not too bad (£23 for 10) but any better (local?) sources?

Code:

most of those self storage places sell boxes. When we moved, I got a load of computer boxes from work as they were big and strong.

Where are you? I have a load of ones I got from a mates business to move house at the start of the year. They are flat packed in the attic at the minute but you're welcome to them? I'm in Ballymoney.

They didnt even cost me beer tokens so you're welcome to them for nothing (y)

I'm sure @Woodcutter wont mind relieveing you of some tokens for goodies in the shop though :joy:

If you know anyone on the army, they will likely have access to amazing ones, that's what we have used the two times we've moved

@pablo I got mine from ARCO in Mallusk when I was moving. Quite reasonable price wise if I recall

I get boxes from Fyfe's in Bangor they always have loads, bound to be one near you and I'm sure they would give you them, usually decent thick ones too

You can always call into a Tesco and ask them to hold over the deep banana boxes. They go through loads in a day. Cover the hole in the bottom and they are good solid boxes. You do need to ask for them to be held over as they have to flat pack them these days for recycling.

Big rolls of bubble wrap on eBay for not a lot of cash. Buy plenty as you can go through it quickly

Does this place in Mallusk not sell them ?


Or contact some moving companies ? They might sell as well ?

Homebase seem to have a new range of “moving boxes”, probably cost a fortune though. While you’re there you can hunt some free ones anyway. Like I do.
