    Argos do them but the prices are insane:

    I remember you could get them in Atlantic Homecare/Homebase B&Q etc. but they were about 40euro for 10! Thats ridiculous!! you could ring a few shops and ask them to give you some before they compact them.

    Can't believe you actually bought cardboard boxes when shops across the city will give them to you for free. The mind boggles or am I missing something here?

    Free boxes fom shops are usualy in poor condition and made from thin cardboard - not suitable for moving house.
    Price like 4 euro for a good, new large box is not too high and not worth to put my stuff on risk (espetially if I need only few boxes)
