During the move, you cannot do without a large number of boxes. It is convenient to pack fragile items, books, documents and other things in them. But hardly anyone keeps a large number of boxes at home, so you will need to go to the nearby shops to get them.
Think about what size boxes you need roughly. It is best to find them for free: there are many other expenses during the move, there is no need to increase their number by buying boxes. The first place where unnecessary boxes appear every day will, of course, be the nearest supermarket. Go to his administrator or seller and ask him to take a few pieces, it is unlikely that you will be refused. This way you can even go around several stores if you need a lot of boxes.
The only bad thing about supermarket boxes is that your books and other personal belongings may smell like vegetables after you move. Therefore, choose boxes of something neutral - pasta, flour, candy.
Looking for small boxes
Another great option for getting clean and complete boxes is a bookstore. As a rule, they are not so big here, but they will definitely keep their shape and will not reward your things with extraneous odors. Sometimes bookstore administrators are reluctant to hand over the boxes, perhaps moving too often come up to them with such requests.
Convenient medium-sized boxes remain after the sale of stationery. So if there is such a retail or wholesale store nearby, hurry there. You can even ask the sellers when they have the delivery of products and come that day after the goods are unloaded. Most likely, they will not only give you all the boxes, but they will also be very grateful for getting rid of such garbage.
Free or convenient?
In search of large boxes, you need to go to a furniture store. Boxes there are of a very non-standard size, for example, long and narrow. But still, among their huge variety, it is quite possible to find what suits you. Once again, it is worth agreeing on the day of delivery, most likely on this day it will be easier to pick up unnecessary boxes.
Decent packaging for personal belongings during the move can eventually be purchased if you can't find it or don't have the time to do so. Some companies specialize in selling all kinds of boxes for different purposes, and also provide a box delivery service for moving home. And prices for such containers start at an average of 12 rubles. It is also good that boxes from such companies are presented for every taste: large and small, wide and narrow, with or without removable lids, with compartments in the box itself. True, these products will be available only in large cities.
It will be convenient to buy boxes for things in large supermarkets. You do not want to throw them away later, but you will use them for going to the store or storing things in the house. The only drawback of such boxes will be their considerable cost.
