Moving, need packing boxes.

Post by Miserableold-ishgit »

Good Afternoon.
Been forced to move in the next fortnight or so and urgently need packing boxes, etc.
Money is extremely tight, so would appreciate any ideas of where I may be able to get some for free if possible.

Many thanks,

Paul.

Hi. Try contacting Booksellers Crow close to the triangle at Crystal Palace: http://www.booksellercrow.co.uk/#/conta ... 4529746297
See if they have any book cartons they can save for you, to collect when they're not busy mind. They'll give them for free if they have any. Parking's a pain be warned, though not that far from the Sainsbury carpark or bus terminal.

Their boxes if they have any aren't big but are very sturdy so are suitable for crockery, or books of course. A removal man could carry two at once if only light things in them.

Could ask at Lidl (or Co-op, Tesco). All I can think of unless someone on here has some...

Sounds like you could be sorted now, so just remains to wish you good luck with your move and new accommodation.
