im after a load of big (ish) cardboard boxes... for packaging up stuff for our imminent house move. Im quite often driving around so if you have any please let me know.

Why is it hard to find big boxes these days!?

Local corner shops or small asda/tesco/sainsbury's etc..........

They should be able to give you some mate

Got 35 up here

bit far to travel mind

You don't want them to be too big, else they will be a bugger to carry and get through doors. You can buy new boxes from all over the shop, but they will cost you 30 - 50 quid .. which takes the **** imo. See if anyone has *once used* boxes up on gumtree, then offer then a fiver/tenner.. worked for me

Independent shops can be good as are chain shops. Try a wine shop. I get mine from an ironmongers as they have a skip out the back cos they get so much stuff. Plenty of plastic wrap too! The guy said fill yer boots.

When i worked at halfrauds we always had people comming in asking for cardboard boxes, we had a skip out back and would direct them there. lots of boxes in all different shapes and sizes.

I got a load off ebay for moving, not a bad price compared to ikea and storage type places...

Advantage is, theyre a nice size to move easily, all the same size so easier to stack, and not full of ****e and falling to pieces....but it did hurt to pay for cardboard!
