Products: Where to find free moving boxes

Not kidding.
We really packed up all
his books in 75 little boxes!

Free ain't cheap these days.

My BF and I were moving in together (halleluyah!) and wanted to... what's that word again? oh yes, SAVE... as much as possible. One thing we did not want to waste money on is boxes. And one thing we did not want to pack with us was, bugs.

When I was post-college, and moved half a dozen times to various glorious shag-carpeted apartments, I just picked up boxes off the street or took them out of other people's garages from Craig's List.

But these days, at least in these parts where we live, bug-infestation is a hot topic. Unfortunately, I have a list of loved ones who recently got bit by the bedded one (you know what I'm talking about). Since then, we won't be anything less than extrememly careful about what we pull in off the street and into our home. No more stoop-sale finds, no more barnyard discoveries, no more craig's list velvet hand-me-down couches. Everything's got to be new, including the moving boxes.

Well, imagine how happy we were to find FREE & NEW moving boxes via USPS. Yes, that's right.

If you're moving, and you need boxes, and you want them to be free, but you don't want them to be gross, then hop on over here.

Sure, they're small. But you know what they're good for? Books! Movers hate lifting heavy boxes of books almost as much as my BF hates recategorizing his 8 bookshelves. So, he order 75 (!!) free, medium sized boxes. Which all came shipped to his home (in a box, funny enough). All of his books were then packed according to subject, and the movers were quite grateful (I know this, because they told us so).

But, still happy to do our enivornmental good deed, we will probably give these away to another eager mover. For free.
