Red face Looking for moving boxes

Hello my fellow Nor-Cal peeps. I am in need of some moving boxes if anyone has some that they are willing to part with that would be chill. No I am not going anywhere, I am helping my brother, his wife and kid move from San Jose to Santa Clara and thought I should ask here before I go buy a crap load of boxes from u-haul or somewhere else first.

I am willing to pay for some boxes if that is the case, anyone?

Try your local mall. Ask security or the mall info people, since malls normally have a lot of empty boxes left from the shipment their stores get and they normally just pay someone to take it away.

I can get a whole bunch of small->medium sized boxes from work... (Starbucks). I live in San Mateo. Let me know if you want me to grab em for you cause I don't want a big ol stack of boxes just sitting at the house haha.

I also find going to grocery stores and getting the banana boxes. Yeah i know you cant store a lot in the boxes but they tend to give them out all the time. They are very sturdy boxes and also have handles makes it easier to carry and very easy to stack in the moving truck or storage.
