Free Cardboard Boxes for Moving → London
Free Cardboard Boxes for Moving to London removals. Fully insured, fixed price.
From £299

Free cardboard boxes for moving are available from supermarkets, off-licences, and bookshops — but they're not always the right boxes. Banana boxes and wine cases are strong, but inconsistent sizes make stacking hard in a van. For a relocation to Switzerland or any long-distance UK move, purpose-built moving boxes are worth buying. Giant Van supplies them as part of your booking or separately on request.

Free cardboard boxes for moving are available from supermarkets but aren't always reliable. For UK or Switzerland relocations, Giant Van supplies purpose-built double-walled boxes from £1.20 each or in packs. House removals from £149. Call +44 7414 655129 to add boxes to your booking.
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Where can you purchase moving boxes? The choice comes down to free (inconsistent) versus bought (reliable).
Free sources include Tesco, Waitrose, and Sainsbury's back-of-store collection areas — ask staff the night before your visit as most are broken down quickly.
Lidl and Aldi fruit sections often have strong double-walled boxes.
Off-licences have wine boxes that are excellent for heavy items.
The downside: shapes vary, sizes differ, and some are already damp.
Bought moving boxes from removal companies or DIY stores give you consistent sizing, clean interiors, and tested weight limits.
For a relocation to Switzerland, bought boxes are strongly recommended — customs officials need to open and re-seal boxes, and they need to withstand multiple inspections.
Moving boxes to purchase through Giant Van come in standard small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes, all double-walled.
You can add box packs to your removal booking when you call +44 7414 655129.
We deliver materials to your address before moving day or bring them on the day itself, depending on your timeline.
Packing tape, bubble wrap, furniture covers, and wardrobe boxes are also available.
For a two-bedroom flat moving to Switzerland or relocating within the UK, a starter pack of 30 mixed boxes, two tape rolls, and a bubble wrap roll typically covers most rooms.
More complex moves — piano, artwork, antiques — need individual assessment.

“Best removal service I've used”
Sarah, London
National firms often send crews who have never worked a particular street before.
Giant Van drivers are allocated to regions they know.
That means parking strategy on restricted roads, awareness of time-controlled loading bays, knowledge of estate layouts, and understanding of access routes for large vans in older town centres.
Local knowledge reduces delays and prevents the situations where a crew cannot park and the customer loses hours waiting.
Giant Van's driver allocation is region-first, meaning you get someone familiar with the area, not the nearest available driver regardless of location.
Booked online in under a minute and the crew turned up right on time. Everything was wrapped carefully and nothing was damaged. Genuinely the easiest move I've had.
The quote I got online was exactly what I paid. No hidden fees, no extra charges on the day. The two-man crew were professional, fast, and really friendly.
Our original movers cancelled last minute. Giant Van had a crew available the same day. They handled a full 2-bed flat and had us settled in by evening.

UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Moving from UK to Netherlands or from the UK to Switzerland both require the same basic discipline: thorough packing, consistent box sizes for van stacking, and a clear inventory.
The Netherlands is roughly 300 miles from the Port of Harwich — a manageable same-day crossing on the Stena Line.
Switzerland is further, typically requiring an overnight transit.
Giant Van handles UK packing and loading for both routes and connects you with cross-Channel partners for the Continental leg.
