You can buy used ones from them usually, but we got new - and you can sell them back when you're finished with them to get ~25% back (and not have to be shoving boxes in the recycling bin for months afterward if you're short of space, like we were). will check them out too, the recycling bin thing is always a problem, there is never enough room is there?? cheers Caz & Co ALL MOVED IN!!

I agree....Look up storage places, like Kennards, Fort Knox etc (there's usually at least one in every suburb) as they do what annege said and buy the boxes back off you. And they're made of really thick cardboard- good for stacking without collapsing. Re: Where to get good moving boxes from??? 9Sep 16, 2009 3:39 pm I've got free boxes also - I've got boxes from Bunnings at the front of their store for free, at my work (grabbed the paper boxes - photocopying and printing paper) they are a great size and quite sturdy and parent's work also done the same. Great places for wine boxes are Dan Murphy's. Hope it helps! Re: Where to get good moving boxes from??? 10Sep 16, 2009 3:44 pm What's an OH?????? I get the 'H' bit . . . but whats the O for?

They are brilliant, with lids that fit & nothing will get into these air tight boxes whilst in storage. I have stuff stored amongst family, in garages, sheds and I know it's all safe & sound from the weather or any feral creatures Jazz Life is like a lolly, suck it and see Re: Where to get good moving boxes from??? 14Sep 16, 2009 9:25 pm Just scored about 5 big heavy duty boxes from my Bunnings (couldn't fit any more on my trolley!) A few good ones from lawn mowers I think so they are double sided and strong - bonus! Might do a few more runs to Bunnings since they're free - well at least I assume they are as no-one stopped me!

After a mixed load, as we prepare for our move, I've learned to separate the free of charge rubbish from the rubbish that will be charged for to keep the cost of dumping down. I sent the boys with a station wagon full of the free of charge rubbish to the local council today.

Re: Where to get good moving boxes from??? 17May 23, 2010 11:34 pm Maccas - the boxes that their fries come in are great sizes for most items in the house... and because every maccas sells heaps of fries all the time - you're guaranteed to get heaps of boxes really quick - so long as they keep them for you when you ask! Sleven Moved into our Atlantique MkII 36 by Carlisle Homes 9 24637 Hello everyone, I have a question regarding moving a chandelier after it has been mounted. The chandelier in question is quite large, measuring 4 meters… 0 72312 Depends how much direct sun it gets. Is there any shading (eaves or trees)? If the sun hits a window directly it doesn't matter too much if it's double or single… 1 12635 |
