Hi jugs
Yeah that is what happen. They heard that you was moving and they decided that you didn't need boxes. The aliens I believe are playing a joke on you. I would go back out tomorrow and recheck those places again. But listen to me..do it quitely so the Aiens cant hear and don;t know that you are rechecking..Got it girl..Remember quitely...

More than likely they recycle them. They would probably save them for you a certain day. That is the way it is around here.

An alternative to boxes, when it comes to the lighter things in the house, especially blankets, towels, and linens, is to use a bedsheet. Pile the load in the middle, then bring up two of the opposite corners, and tie, then do the other two corners. I have seen that done many times.
A large trash can, will also work to pack things in.

I work in a store and we break down boxes every nite. Go to your local convenience store and find out when their deliveries come in. Ask them to save you the boxes. Also, many stores have a separate dumpster just for cardboard. The boxes are broken down but you can fold them back up together. Another good place to get boxes is the likor store...they always have boxes. I just moved recently and had no problem in finding a good amount of boxes for what I needed. P.s. I know that likor is spelled wrong but that word violates mylote terms. oopsys!

I think now adays every shop has a fire assesment where as they get rid of all the boxs as soon as they can as they are a fire risk.I can remember going to a super market and they always had them in like a cattle pen for their customers to pack their shopping in.
