 Posted: Tue 1st Jul 11:29am Post subject: Where Can We Find Boxes (for Moving) In Wellington? |
  |
|
In Dunedin, we just to be able to drive around the back of Briscoes and pick up heaps of boxes from the skips out the back  No such luck in Wellington unfortunately 
Anyone know where we can find a whole lot of boxes that we can use to move house?

Moore Wilsons has heaps sitting by the checkout. Even the supermarkets down the road have plenty if you ask!

The thing with supermarkets is that you have to get in early as most are crushed for recycling. Might pay to give the manager a ring to arrange some to be kept.
When I worked at Repco we used to give them away but you'll need to get them saved as the same recycling approach is used there.

We were hoping to go for a stealth approach to box collecting  When I was working at Noel Leemings, I'd keep all the Breville boxes - they were ideal for moving stuff 
Maybe I'll give the supermarkets a call then

Prob tonight best. I'll text you when we're heading home from paddling (prob around 8ish). If that doesn't suit you can pick up anytime - underhouse isn't locked.

Hey celia - I've got a couple of large boxes at home that I emptied out last week. You're more than welcome to have them if it'll help.

Thanks for the offer Jono! Will see how we go with rockit's boxes + the ones I just managed to score from the uni bookstore (little boxes, but I wasn't complaining!)
