Hassle Free Boxes

Best idea for a home business that gives back, recycles, re-​uses, and it’s convenient for movers, packers, and shipping. Dale met us promptly at the garage and helped us choose boxes sizes, grab packing paper, and bubble wrap. It’s cash only. It’s so cheap, forget going to buy Home Depot boxes or dumpster diving for free boxes… this is the place to pick up boxes. Dale has it all sorted out and organized by size. Fast and easy pick up. We already went back again a couple days later for our move. Will sell back boxes. Thank you!

Found this Lil gem here on Unilocal,and my Father in law mentioned it to me as well. The website
explains the Lil business and gives the assurance your not picking up nasty boxes, she has a strict buying policy on only having lightly used boxes.
I saw one Unilocal review on how the owner was rude, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. She helped me load my car, gave me a great deal and even chatted with me for a bit.
Brought my boxes home and they are in great shape!
Saved me the Hassel of asking retailers for empty boxes, which saved on gas too. And saved me from buying boxes for 2x the price!
I wish I knew of this business sooner! Thank you!

This was my first experience shopping at Living Spaces in Mission Valley. I liked that there was no one there pressuring me. I found a recliner sofa and some tables right away, as well as an area rug. All of the prices were very good. I was told that everything would be delivered that same week, which they were. I was also told that everything that I bought would be set up for me, including the area rug. When the delivery guy came, he told me that they don’t set rugs out, but that he would do it for me this time. I wish the Living Spaces salesman would have been better informed on this (hence, 4 stars instead of 5)
All in all it was a good experience. They told me that they would arrive between 1 – 4 p.m. They called at 12:30 p.m. to say that they were on their way and arrived right at 1 p.m. I was worried after reading many of these reviews, but it turns out everything went fine. And the furniture all was in new condition when it arrived– no tears or scratches as some here experienced.

This is a great business. The owner is really doing a service to the environment, as well as providing cheap and ‘hassle-​free’ moving products. I highly recommend.

Thank you so much! I went two times to buy boxes for this move and the owners were very helpful.

This is a fabulous box solution. Schedule to buy boxes, move, unpack and sell them back. I ended up giving away my boxes to a neighbor instead of getting $$ back but I will absolutely use these guys again for boxes.
If you’re doing a long distance move, I’d double check some of the bigger boxes and make sure they’re in good condition. We had one or two (out of 30 or so) that seemed a little flimsy.

Hassle Free Boxes is such a great idea! Found this place through Unilocal reviews and wanted to add to the posts. Boxes are about $ 1 and they buy each box back at $ 0.50. There was also other packing supplies available for purchase.
The boxes are in good condition. The woman who met me at the location was extremely helpful and helped me pick out the better condition boxes. Most boxes were in good condition and practically new, anyways. Also, the whole place was well organized.
I will be going back soon as I just getting started on my upcoming move.

SUPER RUDE woman who owns this «business» its run out of a house garage … the boxes are all used that she clearly finds near dumpsters. BUT RUDE is the main thing I want people reading this to understand… good luck if you decide to meet this individual

Buy them for $ 1. Sell them back for $ 0.50. It’s a really nice system to give a few bucks to some everyday people, and not a giant faceless corporation, as well as do some good keeping boxes out of the landfill.

I just bought boxes from here and it was so easy and cheap that I want to recommend this place to everyone. I bought 24 boxes and packing paper for $ 32. And they are helping the environment.
Couldn’t have been easier.

Boxes for a buck! They buy them back for $.50 if they’re in good shape when you’re done with them or if you haven’t used them at all.
I bought 18 boxes and a roll of tape for $ 25 — what a steal!
The owner was nice, helpful, friendly– what more can you ask?
I’ll definitely do business with them again, and refer friends.

Great people — very well organized boxes and things you need for packing. CALL AHEAD because sometimes they have to meet you there. it’s operated out of a residence, so don’t think you’re going to wrong place. Very easy access to the I-​8 and I-​15. Will buy your boxes back after you are done (at partial what you paid, but still a good deal!)

GREAT idea — -recycle boxes again and again and — — — — -
I have used this company 4 times and have saved a bundle on boxes.
You make an appointment, purchase what you need AND they even buy the boxes back from you after your move for a small amount of $$. (They have every size, bubble wrap, newspaper etc.)
I usually end up recycling my boxes, but how can you beat this system?
Try them out — you will never buy brand new boxes again. (some of their boxes are even brand new)

This is the second time I’ve purchased boxes from this place. Everything is stacked neatly, and he had a great selection of sizes… and, even had packing paper and/​or bubble wrap. He helped us load up our truck, and we were on our way. Too bad I won’t be around to re-​sell the boxes back to him… cuz that was a great offer.

Linda and Dale are great business partners and are working hard to support the environment (recycling packing boxes and moving materials) and our military families who move around the world alllllll the time in support of our freedoms.
When you move call them to buy the boxes you need to get you there with cash left over for the fun stuff at your new location! New boxes and packing materials are soooooo expensive; they can save you at least half what you’d spend on new boxes.
After you move call them to buy back your gently used boxes, so you’ve got something to spend on the celebration of your new home!

Dude was great. Pulled up, he showed us a massive selection of great shape boxes, and we picked out the 23 that we wanted. Whole transaction took less than 4 minutes. Guy was real nice, and he will buy usable boxes back for $ 0.50 each. Cash only, so heads up.

I was a bit confused as I thought this was a store front. I looked up the addy and drove here and it turns out it is a house! This family run business is run out of their garage. The owners son came out and greeted me (he just happened to be Home). I got a bunch of boxes and packing paper for just $ 10! Thats like a fraction of the price of home depot boxes. They were out of bubble wrap but I was told they would call me when they got more. He was friendly and loaded everything up for me.
I love the idea of recycling and reusing all the boxes/​cardboard and saving $$

This is a great business, an awesome way to pick up cheap moving boxes, moving blankets, bubble wrap, paper pads, packing tape and other moving supplies. Most boxes are $ 1 – 2 each. I personally needed some odd-​shaped boxes, and they had those too (again, very affordable).
The wrinkle is that much of what they offer is (gently) used, and you’re basically picking them up from a home business. But everything is in good condition. You arrange a time to stop by, choose what you want, pay in cash, and it’s as simple as that.
It may sound shady, but it’s not. They do a lot of business through referrals, and they get a lot of business from locals in the military (who are known to move pretty frequently). They even encourage you to sell back the boxes afterward, if you’re moving locally. Check the website for details.

I needed some boxes and someone recommended I check out this location. I called and left a message and within an hour I received a call back and made a same day appointment.
He has many boxes, but not as large of selection as I had hoped. I picked up $ 50 worth of boxes and wrapping paper. Most boxes I purchased were new. I was very selective about the boxes that I purchased. I only picked new or boxes that were in very good condition.
Note: Bring cash, he only deals in cash. Bring a pen and paper and/​or calculator to make it easier to count out how much you are spending.

Great prices on gently used moving supplies!
I am planning a move soon and wanted to find some free or cheap boxes and stumbled upon Hassle Free Boxes after doing a craigs list search. This is a home business that sell boxes and moving supplies for hella cheap! And when I say cheap I mean CHEAP. They’ve got small moving boxes for $ 1.25, medium boxes for $ 1.50, large boxes for $ 1.75 and dish pack boxes (large boxes designed to hold a lot of weight) for $ 2.00! Assorted smaller sized boxes are $ 0.50. The boxes all looked like they were previously used but all were in great shape and looked sturdy.
They had ample supply of boxes and also sold me a HUGE pack of newspaper-​like paper (but no print on it) for $ 1.00. They had packing tape for $ 2.00 and other stuff associated with moving for 1 or 2 bucks. They also have highly coveted (and pricey) wardrobe boxes for $ 5, much less than market cost. I’d HIGHLY recommend this business for your moving needs. The guy who helped me was nice and it’s great to support green, local businesses.
This place is near Qualcomm stadium and should be mapped before you head there in order to find it with no problems. I’d suggest calling before you go too, because all the supplies are in the garage of a house. Overall, 2 thumbs up though. Quality moving supplies at a fraction of the cost. You can’t beat it!
