Great selection of used boxes. Prices range from .75 to $1.25 depending on size. Take the downhill driveway next to Nicks Grill. Business located in basement of the building. Parking directly in front of business is limited and cramped. If under building parking area is full, have to back-up the driveway you just came down.
Don't go anywhere else to buy boxes before stopping here first! Might be tricky to find the place, they're in the alley directly behind Nicks Grill.
I needed about 10 boxes to ship desktops across the country. They aren't the smallest units, so it was tricky to find a box bix enough that wasn't oversized.
They know some VERY good tricks. We ended up taking a box that was just too small and through a coupole very simple cuts we made the box fit each desktop perfectly and with extra protection.
$18 for 10 boxes and bubble wrap, great deal to me!
Thank you for taking the time to work with me and come up with a solution for my needs!!
If you're in need of boxes and feel wrong buying brand new ones, this is the place to come. It's a little hard to find (you have to go down a ramp and the entrance is underneath the ground-level stores), but it's absolutely worth it: they have a far greater selection of boxes than I was expecting, for a fraction of the cost of buying them new.
It's a clean, professionally run store, and an absolute steal. We picked up 30+ almost-brand-new boxes ranging from small to huge for around $50, plus tape, bubble-wrap and other packing materials. The staff were friendly, helpful, and offered us very good advice. They have a range of box conditions, but even they're so-called "Scrap" category looked in perfect condition to me.
All that being said, it's a small store and will often close if the staff are out. We went a couple of times and it was closed (despite it being in opening-hours). Eventually I just called and 'booked' a visit time, and the staff made sure the store was open and they were about. So I strongly recommend phoning to double check they're open, but even despite this, visiting here definitely falls into the "I can't believe this worked out so well" category.
