Has anyone used the above site?
Can anyone recommend a similiar one which is equally as good/Cheaper?
I know I could probably get boxes from supermarkets/shops etc but I simply dont have the time.

do you mean how many boxes will YOU need for your house?
I personally dont really use boxes when I move, except for kitchen stuff, cds/dvds/videos, small ones for books- but even then I seldom bother as they make too heavy to lift. I usually use small holdalls & suitcases. I usually get my boxes from my local newsagent who I get to save them for me and collect on way past. Ive moved 3 times in london and always got my boxes from the same newsagent :rotfl::beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

I used to work in Sainsburys and we would get calls for boxes all the time. I would get them ready for the person to collect. It took about 2 minutes for the person to collect around 20 boxes for free.
If you do a weekly shop in a supermarket, ask them to get you some ready for the following week and then, when you've finished your shop the following week, it's just a matter of popping them in your boot.
Nothing time consuming or problematic about the process 0
