I bought some from eBay. Worked out alright, they weren't re-useable though.
Although since i've bought those plastic ones with handles on, so when I move again, it'll be easier. Usually get huge ones on offer 3 for £20 and then store them with all your shit in your loft.

Or if you want free boxes, pop down to your local Asda / Tescos and hovver about near the warehouse and ask someone who comes out.

Bought a pack of moving boxes from Argos. They're like normal boxes but you pay extra for them because you forgot you needed boxes until the day before you needed them and they have an area on the front of them for you to write which room the contents belong in.

We have one of those 'Big Yellow Self Storage' places near us. they do moving house packs with boxes, bubble wrap tape and shit like that. got one when i moved out my flat a few years ago. but you've grossly underestimated how long it takes to pack if you think you can pack a house in an afternoon
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I think you're better off going and buying some from a removals/storage company. The ones from the supermarket will all be funny sizes and aren't all that strong. Speaking from personal experience here too

I keep a room full of HP server/deaktop/tv boxes
at work and any packaging. Saves me a fortune buying them and helps the planet reusing them
