    I tried using McDonalds boxes once before when moving flats. Found they were quite greasy.

    Unfortunately at the moment I don't have a car so collecting boxes is also an issue. We are just hiring a van for the actual move dates.

    We don't have any chains like that here. but thanks for the suggestion.

    The lidded boxes that reams of photocopier/printer paper come in are fantastic for packing small items, precious ornaments etc., and they stack perfectly. Ask at work or a friends work if facilities will keep them for you.
