EcoBox

Wait time has drastically been reduced and prices are still amazing. I’ve even had walkins where I was serviced pretty quick. So changing my rating from 4 to 5.

Always have what I need and great customer service. My business is Moving so Eco box and my business go hand in hand. If Boxes and Moving supply’s is what you need these guys have you covered ! Thx Eco Box staff!

First visit today and I was so impressed! Carlos went above and beyond to help me pack my shipment, and affordable and eco friendly to boot! I highly recommend to anyone shipping and moving!

Wow! They have a ton of boxes in a variety of sizes. The moving boxes I purchased were/​are priced lower than even Walmart’s boxes. They also load the car for you. I’d certainly go back and highly recommend to others.

I love EcoBox. I discovered this place via someone I work with. I do event management including onsite execution which includes lots of shipping of event supplies. Therefore I needed somewhere reliable to get boxes. The service is always great and I always get exactly what I need. Matter of fact one time I took an item to them and they cut a box down to fit it which in my opinion is going above and beyond. I can’t get that kind of pleasant service at the mailing places that also sell boxes. I continue to go back to EcoBox for work boxes as well as personal. When I moved a couple years ago I went here and I was able to sell back the boxes I didn’t use.

Great company to work with, I get shipping supply for my company every month, the sale staff (esp. Carlos) is extremely helpful and courteous to my needs. Get your shipping supplies here because they will have everything you will need.

I needed shipping from Austin to my business in Seattle and this company was excellent to work with. They are extremely professional, very fair prices and most of all, very friendly and thoughtful. If only more stores were like this.

I walked in and wasn’t sure what I needed. The nicest guy imaginable helps me. He walked me around the store, sharing what they had and what to pack in what size box. I ended up getting 10 small boxes, 10 medium boxes, two plastic mattress covers, bubble wrap and a dish pack that protects your dishes. They were out of packs that hold your glasses/​cups, so I’ll be back. The guy took everything out to my car and got everything in.

These guys are great. They have specialty boxes and packing materials plus used boxes for a good price. Friendly service and they even carry items to my car.

friendly staff, They will help you with any packing questions

I needed some boxes for shipping that were of an odd size. Very long in width and depth, but not very tall. Went everywhere in town, no one had them. Found a place that had them online, but they wanted a minimum order of 10, when I only needed three.
Finally found this place. They didn’t have the exact right size I needed, but cut down a couple of boxes for me to make them exactly the right size. The boxes were cheap, they cut me a good deal on them, and even helped me carry them to my car.
Really, it couldn’t be better. The review is simple because what I needed was pretty simple — just hard to find. They hit it out of the park on all accounts.

I work for a moving company here in Austin that uses Eo Box for all our packing material needs. I have dealt with Eco Box for 3 years now and I can’t find one bad thing to say about these guys. If you want great services, great prices and quality boxes then this is the place to go folks.

Fantastic concept here — I’ve always felt bad in the past when I’ve had to just toss empty boxes after a move (especially since most recycling pick-​ups say «small cardboard» only — and stack of 30+ boxes hardly qualifies for that.
I just finished a move and had the movers recommend this place to sell back boxes — and after a move, every little bit helps!
I loaded up my car with the boxes after breaking them down and the whole experience of selling back was straight forward and simple. They had a guy help unload the boxes from my car, tally up how many of each size I had, then they wrote me a check for about $ 10 — which is great considering that normally I would have had to wait for trash pick up day to get rid of them, and also great to know that they can be re-​used as opposed to just taking up space in a landfill.

I love this place. Great prices, great service, great products. I have saved a ton of money buying my packaging materials here. If you have a web-​based business then they give you discounts and they will also send invoices to your e-​mail account.

I love this concept. Like Javier D, I also wish I had thought of it first!
They have great prices, and it is far better for the environment to reuse boxes until they are at the end of their useful life than it is just to recycle them after one use.
Ordering was easy peasy lemon squeezy with their online ordering form and optional delivery — definitely a no-​brainer. Our boxes arrived in good condition (you could tell they had been used before, but none were in bad condition).
We are still unpacking and have yet to give the boxes back to EcoBox, but if the process is anything like ordering them, I’m sure it will go smoothly. We will definitely use EcoBox in the future!

Even though I was able to give them exact dimensions and weight of an item over the phone, the guy just would not give me an estimate, even a non-​binding ball park, on packing and shipping. He said they’d have to see the product. It’s a frame, you know with glass and some wood. What else is there to know? The guy was nice enough, but seeing as how I’m in California (needing an item in Austin shipped out to me), I can’t just drop by to get an estimate. I think they should be able to do this over the phone.

I found this place while looking for cheaper shipping supplies for work. They have by far the best prices in town. Also if you are an ebay seller they will deliver next day for free on any order over $ 90. If you need supplies for shipping or moving go to this place.

This is a sound concept and I sure wish that I had thought of it. You too can help the environment in small ways when you buy recycled boxes, and if you need, sell them back to the same place (for pennies on the dollar but still!) I didn’t see anything wrong with their do-​it-​yourself attitude when it comes to moving.
If you don’t have any idea how to estimate how many boxes you will need, they might suggest a number, but if you are like me and have moved a few times, you kinda know already.
In addition to previously used boxes of standard size for sale, they also have paper for wrapping, tape guns, rope, dollys, and every size of new box for sale (or rent as far as dollys go). They have wardrobe boxes, bicycle boxes, art boxes, and boxes for everything else, boxes boxes boxes! Sam is very helpful and was glad to write me a check for the boxes I returned, and even thanked me for recycling.
I used these guys last year, but in the chaos that is relocating and starting life in a new place, I neglected to write a review then, but I am happy to write this one. Ecobox is awesome! They have used boxes for a fraction of the cost of new, and they will buy those same boxes back from you provided they are in good condition when you are done with them. Thanks Sam, and thanks Ecobox for taking some of the stress out of moving. Every little bit helps.

I had heard about the business model and I thought it was great! It always sounded a bit silly to me that we should have to go to a UHaul or similar and pay so much for brand-​new boxes and then just chuck them for no salvage.
EcoBox fixes the problem on both ends. I’ve only been there to /​buy/​boxes but really enjoyed the visit. We worked up our shopping list of boxes and were ready to check out. Sam was very nice to us and even helped load our boxes on a dolly for loading into our car.
I don’t know what the other end of this transaction looks like, but the boxes are gently used and are currently being filled. The location is good with easy access throughout north Austin.
It’s a win in my book.

They give you a reasonable price for your used boxes. I received $ 3.01 for approximately 8 medium boxes. Some people may complain about how much they buy back for, but it’s better than nothing and putting boxes in the dumpster, right? My only beef is that they write you a check for the boxes rather than straight cash.
I would go back again. Oh, and FYI, they only take official moving boxes (ie moving company boxes, u-​haul boxes, etc). So the boxes you collected from Costco or Specs will have to be given away on craigslist.
