WHERE TO FIND FREE MOVING BOXES IN MONTREAL

Packing is an essential part of every move. When done right, it ensures the safe arrival of your belongings; when done poorly, it can lead to damaged items. A common challenge is knowing where to find quality packing materials. Here are some places in Montreal where you can find free packing supplies that many moving companies won’t mention.

Office Supply Stores

Office supply stores often have sturdy boxes that they discard after supplies are delivered. These boxes are typically large and strong, making them ideal for packing and moving. Visit your local office supply store to see if they have boxes available.

Bookstores

Bookstores are another great source for free packing materials. They receive large shipments of books in strong boxes, which are usually discarded. You may find all the boxes you need by checking with your local bookstore. In fact, some Montreal movers source boxes from bookstores for their clients.

Bars and Restaurants

Liquor boxes, used to transport glass bottles, are some of the sturdiest available. These boxes are perfect for packing a variety of items, from toiletries and clothes to electronics and kitchenware. Check with local bars or restaurants to see if they have any liquor boxes to spare.

Home Improvement Stores

Home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s often have plenty of boxes. Speak to a staff member to get permission, and you’ll likely find more boxes than you need, saving you money on packing supplies.
