I hate cutting myself on the broken glass though...I wouldn't mind so much if they just forgot a bottle in there...However liquor/corner stores are a very good source for smaller boxes (like snack foods come in) for pre-packing small items (like photo equipment).

your local u-haul rental store sells good quality boxes... of course you have to pay, but not too much....

Last time I moved I got boxes from a small plaza which none of the stores had a crusher but they all cut down the boxes so it made it easy to take the boxes home in the car, all I needed was a roll of packing tape and I was good.

Go to a really big copy store (photocopy) paper boxes are strong and a good size. I worked at one when I was in university and we were always trying to get rid of them, i used them every year i moved while in school.

Too many of the boxes at liquor stores are cut, torn, or flimsy. The apple and orange boxes smell better too...

If you ask the produce folks at your market in the morning, they will usually put aside a bunch of matching boxes for you to pick up later. I especially like the nesting apple and orange boxes, although they've told me the banana boxes are the strongest -- but they're a little too big for heavy stuff -- just right for clothing/bedding if they're clean and dry.

ask at your local supermarket... grocery store, whatever you call them in america. That's how we got most of our boxes when we moved.

Does anyone know a totally free way of obtaining a large amount of moving boxes (of any size)?

I figure I can ask some stores for any shipment type stuff - but any suggestions so I can narrow my search.

I tried craigslist.org and didn't find any (sometimes people list free boxes)..

Oh and I guess i can relate this to photography.. how? Well, I need boxes to move my stuff.. and some of my stuff includes my cameras, photos, and computer ;) See! It's related afterall. hee

thanks guys!
