I know some liquor stores have them, but do you know of any other places?

Grocery stores? You can buy some at U-Haul places.
The shoe store in the hobby lobby center usually has boxes. Try hobby lobby as well.
We used to give the big banana boxes to people who were moving all the time when I worked at HEB in high school.
There is a cardboard recycle bin just outside the doors of the Kroger on Rock Prairie. I picked up a few boxes there when I moved. I got most of my boxes secondhand from people who had recently moved. You might be able to match up with someone here. After I moved, I gave my boxes away to another TexAgs poster.
I'm moving on the 11th and will have quite a few boxes of all sizes, if you can wait that long!
Tanya I'll start setting some good ones aside for you.
Most department stores get their trucks on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, if you get there early and ask nicely I bet it wouldn't be a problem.
Uhaul rental offices usually have a bin with recycled boxes.
I'll second the shoe store by Hobby Lobby - they even carried them to my car for me!
We are moving this weekend. Ill have a 3 bedroom house worth of boxes available.
Harbor freight usually has a pallet 5 feet high of broken down boxes out front or in the store at some point during the week. I've gotten boxes there before
The easiest way to get boxes would be to grab them from the ones that have posted that they're moving and they'll share with you...
But, if you need more, I got lots of great boxes from Pier One Imports before we moved last. They're really sturdy and if you get the boxes that they've received candles in, your stuff will smell great too

Paper ream boxes are the bomb for moving. Check Kinkos or Copy Corner.
Tanya, we just finished moving and have plenty of boxes if you need some

I would love the boxes. Can you email me at tanya dot newnum at mail dot com and we can set up a time I can pick them up?

If you see my reply to Angus, I gave my email to set up a time to get boxes.

Another option is EcoBox in Bryan. They sell new boxes, but also carry USED boxes. This makes it affordable and you can sell the boxes back to them after use. Get the actual sizes you need. Not a bad idea.
