Default Where do Ebayers get their packaging from

Does anybody know where i can get hold of some cheap cardboard packaging - i'm after some quite long boxes for flogging slam panels on fleabay i'm using some boxes at work but i'm paying full whack for them and they're not ideal. They can be second user i'm not fussed.

Some one told me you can get some of this stuff for very little as it saves people disposing of it.

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

I'm sure I remember somebody saying "i wont give this info away for nothing - feckin' suicide"

Having said that, the misses gets sent loads of boxes and jiffy bags to her work which would otherwise get binned so she brings them home. It may be worth asking you local shops etc to see if they just ditch their packaging materials.

My local Tesco leaves out a great big trolley full of empty boxes.

I use http://www.box-it-in.co.uk/ for new stuff.
