I realize this is an odd request...

But if you have access to empty boxes of decent yet smallish size (think bank boxes/paper boxes) and can get some, could you? Bigger boxes are ok, I just don't think we'll need as many. At this point a box is a box (get your mind out of the gutter, I'm serious here) cause the more I think about it, the more I realize we soo don't have enough. I've been trying to horde from work, but everyone else knows when the best time to get boxes are, so most people beat me too it.

I'd even come pick them up, within reason, if you can't drop them by us.

hey, we have boxes of ALL sizes and right now no one else at work needs us to save them...MANY of our boxes for the sauces and such are perfect for the size you need..

You'd just have to come up to the White Castle in Racine for them... or send Posi. I know how he loves his slyders. Given a week I can probably have 10 or so for you.

*hugs*

Do you consider Oxford to be within reason? Because I'd love to have you drop by to pick 'em up!

This option will cost you around $20 for every 25 boxes, but Uline has 16x12x12 boxes (and a whole bunch of other sizes too.) They're the perfect size for books and small items, even from your kitchen. They're brand new, and all the same size, so you won't be playing 3D Tetris with different size boxes.

You can pick up your order from their warehouses. There's one in Atlanta that I use and there's one in Waukegan.

I love these boxes. In the two times I've moved in the last 6 years, these boxes have been completely awesome. And much cheaper than any other place selling boxes.

We get shipments every week, and the comics are packed in boxes, inside of boxes... All decent yet smallish sizes. I've been collecting them for a few weeks expecting Fen to need them, but he doesn't need many. And I'll have more next Wednesday, when do you need them all?

I actually got the Artists Alley sorting boxes for Anthrocon from Uline a couple of years back (hint: if you show up at the warehouse without ordering first, you confuse the hell out of them). They are definitely cheap and good quality, but unless Data can make it there before they close today (unlikely), it's probably not an option since they won't be open again until Tuesday.

ASAP, the movers are coming next friday. Also we need help packing if you have time.

I've got at least 10, maybe 15 or more bankers boxes that still need to be full, they're over in the storage area. Plus whatever miscelanea are in the apartment.

Craigslist usually has some up in the free section. Costco sells the bankers boxes. Avon-sellers get some awesome ones, and usually want to get rid of them.

I'm out of town this weekend... Fen will be at my place if somebody wants to go pick up said boxes. Unfortunately, I doubt there's an evening when I'm not working next week to deliver 'em.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

I'll see if we can figure something out. Posi may be able to grab them this weekend, but he has plans. And it's not real easy for me to swing up there from Naperville.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

Hmm, just barely outside of reason. Then again, if I swang out there, I may never come back.. ;)

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

We'll see what we can figure out. cause we can certainly use them. Thanks hon

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I know I have a few more paper boxes there too.

Avon boxes are great. My cousin used to sell and we'd get the boxes all the time. my mom moved both of the recent times primarily with them

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

and actually that's really not bad, if we'd have thought of it sooner. we'll manage or swing by next week. the movers don't come til Friday.
