    Lidl and Aldi both have loose boxes on the shop floor and don't mind if you take them. They vary considerably in size and strength though, and often are display format (no top or front).

    The local garden centre can have large boxes.

    I saved all delivery boxes from the last few years, that's sorted us out.
