    So far I've bought twice from pandapack.co.uk. They aren't especially cheap, but their quality is top notch.

    I bought tape and guns from clp.co.uk who have amazing prices on stationery type stuff. Very quick delivery too! :)

    Have you tried asking for them on Freecycle aswell as looking?

    Is there a McDonalds near you? I am guessing as they are all over the place their might be, even a KFC? Their fries boxes are ideal and you could ring them to ask them to keep them for you.

    I agree about asking a smaller shop.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Look in your nearest stationery supplier for document storage boxes. Because they're designed to take lots of paperwork, they take heavy weights easily. They're usually supplied flat, with lids and carrying handles, so once you're done, you can tuck them away ready for your next removal.

    Every supplier that everyone has mentioned is miles away, apparently. Where are you? Shetland? Outer Hebrides?

    Every Supplier? :confused: Only one was mentioned Ikea and the nearest one is Edinburgh...What other suppliers were mentioned? Corner shops were mentioned but not many cities have any left...

    Thanks guys for the suggestions of online packing suppliers I think we are going to go with one of those, will have another look tomorrow and decide which one...

    Oh and we're in Aberdeen
