You can get moving boxes from various sources depending on your location and needs:
- Buy or rent moving boxes online or at local stores that specialize in moving supplies or packaging, such as Verpacking.com or BOXIE24 in Amsterdam, which offer delivery and pickup options.
- Large supermarkets often have sturdy cardboard boxes available for free, especially early in the morning or late at night when staff replenish stock.
- Other free sources include coffee shops, bookstores, friends or family who recently moved, discount shops, and local community groups (e.g., Facebook, Nextdoor, Freecycle).
- Stores like IKEA offer sturdy moving boxes for purchase, and home improvement stores (Gamma, Karwei, Praxis) sell various quality levels of boxes.
- FedEx Office locations sell a variety of moving and packing boxes that can also be ordered online.
For the best quality, consider purchasing specialist moving boxes. For low- cost or free options, supermarkets and community sources are ideal. Renting boxes is also an option to consider if you prefer not to keep them after moving.
