Tips

Used Box Buying Guide

Know Your Dimensions

Measure your product and add 1-2 inches of padding per side. A box that is too big wastes money on void fill and DIM weight charges. Too small risks damage.

Choose the Right Grade

Grade A for customer-facing shipments where appearance matters. Grade B for internal use or shipments where function matters more than looks. Grade C for storage and moving.

Consider Wall Strength

Single wall boxes work for items under 40 lbs. Double wall provides extra protection for heavier or fragile items. Ask us about ECT ratings if you need specific strength.

Order a Sample First

Not sure about quality or fit? Order a small quantity first to test. We have no minimums, so you can try before committing to a large order.

Plan for Volume Savings

Orders of 100+ boxes receive volume discounts of 10-15%. Orders of 500+ receive 15-25% off. Let us know your monthly volume and we will provide a custom quote.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How strong are used boxes compared to new?

Quality used boxes retain 80-100% of their original strength. Our grading system helps you choose the right level of quality. Grade A boxes are structurally equivalent to new ones.

Can I use used boxes for shipping to customers?

Yes. Grade A boxes are clean and presentable for customer-facing shipments. Many e-commerce businesses use our Grade A boxes and their customers cannot tell the difference.

Do used boxes have printing or logos on them?

It depends on the grade. Grade A boxes are typically unprinted or have minimal markings. Grade B may have some printing. All grades are free of offensive or inappropriate markings.

How do I know what size box I need?

Measure your product (L x W x H) and add 1-2 inches per side for padding. Our team can also help you select the right size during a free consultation or phone call.

Can I return boxes if they are not what I expected?

Yes. If any boxes do not match the stated quality grade, we will replace them or refund your purchase within 7 days of delivery.

Do you sell used boxes in bulk for moving?

Absolutely. We offer moving box bundles (small, medium, large, wardrobe, dish pack) at significant savings over retail. Perfect for residential and commercial moves.
