Can anyone recommend a company that provides removals boxes? I am moving house and need some boxes and packaging materials.

    Any storage company will have some - and charge you a price. I think most removal companies will as well.

    My boyfriend is moving next week, and we went to Argos today to buy folding crates - 15 for 20 pounds. Depending on what you want to transport, they were a very good deal, and will come in for any future moves as well.

  • lok n store do the cheapest i have found (good quality anyway) http://www.loknstore.co.uk/boxesandpackaging.asp

    the only other place is ebay, but the sellers charge an arm and a leg for posting as they are heavy, so its never really worth it.
    I never missed a payment :T , I paid off all my credit cards :T , I paid of all my loans :T , i have a work mobile :T - but am now "medium" credit risk :confused:
  • Freecycle is a good source of boxes.

    Banana boxes from supermarkets are excellent. They are strong and stackable and especially good for books as you can still lift them when full.

    Is a company which also sells boxes, you can use for moving home-theres always one smart !!!! isnt there.

    Why not put your energy into thanking the people who gave advice .
  • stevie wonder-I really wouldnt pay for cardboard boxes, as has already been suggested, Supermarkets and Freecycle are easily the best and cheapest way to get some for moving!....
  • Hi,

    When we were moving we knocked on the door of a removal lorry that had just off loaded. They gave us loads of free boxes, packaging and tape. All you can do is ask........ they were really generous with us. It didn't cost us anything, other than to say thanks.
