Hi all long time no see

I wondering if someone expat here may know where can I buy cardboard Boxes in Warsaw will be moving some stuff from there to the UK.

Yes I successfully relocate here and now is time to pick up the family the baby is one year old and big enough to travel.

I found a white man with a fan to do the move but he does not provide the boxes.

So if any one can help in point it out where can I buy such goods will be appreciated.

I am now looking on google but no luck so far..

I have all my stuff packed up in boxes ready for a move too....

I got all my boxes from my local Beidronka , and local shops , and they did not cost me anything...

If you get all your friends collecting boxes for you , you will soon have enough for all your stuff....

good luck with the move...

If they don,t deliver , there will be some local guy who will pick them up for you.. for a price...

If you get cartons that are flat , in other words not made up into boxes , you will need a tape gun and lots of rolls of tape...

Don,t forget to write on the cartons whats inside...makes it so much easier when it comes to unpacking....

Is it really a good idea to transport a baby in a cardboard box? The airline will let you take it free if it sits on your knee.

The Boxes are to move the stuff your nop the baby will relocate.

Thanks for the ones that help out and I will be moving maybe 50 kilos so not too much anyway.

IKEA sell them, really strong ones, only the top needs to be taped down. I still have about 30 in my garage.

Anyone know if Ikea in Poland still do the boxes? Or if there is a place where one can find some free, I need one or two tea-chest sort of size or a bit bigger (Wroclaw, not Warsaw).

When i moved i just went to shops and scrounged what i could, then bin areas around the back is usually a good place to start.

A lot of the Ikea stuff is flat pack assemble at home jobbies. Lots of flat boxes.

I don't think Ochrona will take kindly to me rummaging in their bins but I'll give it a shot :o)
