Free Packing Materials Source

[fnd]

If you live near a furniture or appliance store they
are good sources for packing materials. I live near a
Connelly's furniture store and they will give me car
loads anytime I ask. The Packing is usally The large
bubble wrap & the thin foam Sheet type wrap which is
great for wrapping games also its only been used once
and is like new since its only been used to wrap large
pieces of new clean funature

great idea, I never thought of it will have to give it a go..

That's a great idea, I work right next to a furniture store, I should check in the dumpster (they're closed on the weekends when I work) to see if there's some good stuff in there.
I've been using packing peanuts from some office chairs we got at work years ago, each chair came in refrigerator size boxes and was filled with peanuts, so I've been slowly whittling away at them.

I'm lucky in this regard, my little shop is right across from a Rentacenter, and they throw out lots of it all the time. Most of it is the thin white stuff, and it works great.

Well, Sears prevents me from using their own boxes, those that they recieve with merchandise and then DISCARD.

It's not fair! I work there!

Money grubbing..... :(
