As written on Lifehacker, “The grocery store down the street is throwing out cardboard boxes every day, but you’re spending an arm and a leg at Staples to get a dozen for your move—and new webapp BoxCycle is out to stop the madness.”

Used boxes are great for the environment and your wallet, but getting them can be a hassle. BoxCycle’s goal is to take all the work, uncertainty, and delays out of that sometimes annoying process so you can get your boxes and get on with your day.

How It Works

1. Find quality boxes in your area - sort by seller’s distance from you, price, and more. See actual box inventory for every seller and select boxes you want.

2. Place an order through BoxCycle’s secure shopping cart. Select two preferred pickup times within seller’s listed hours.

3. BoxCycle contacts the seller to confirm availability and appointment time. 6. After seller accepts, BoxCycle will provide you with a pickup slip and seller location and contact information.

4. You show up at the appointment time, select the boxes you want, and take them away. BoxCycle confirms with both parties that the transaction went smoothly and completes the order.
