Where to buy moving boxes? Whether directly from us in our online store, in specialized stores, or in large retail chains, several options are available to equip yourself with the necessary boxes and accessories for moving.

Our DMAX Online Store

We highly recommend our online store, where we offer everything you need for your move.

You will find a wide range of products, from recycled and new boxes to essential accessories for protecting your belongings.

Additionally, our store offers various types of boxes suited to different uses, such as telescopic boxes for televisions, specific boxes for wine bottles, as well as complete kits to simplify your preparation.

To ensure the safety of your items, we also offer bubble wrap, stretch film, mattress covers, and much more.

Moreover, we provide free delivery with a minimum purchase amount, making your preparation even easier.

Our online store allows you to prepare for your move in the best possible way.

What other purchasing options are available for your moving boxes?

Physical stores specialized in moving

If you prefer to see and touch the products before buying them, we also have a physical store.

In our establishment, you have access to a wide range of moving boxes suited to various needs, whether it's for packing books, clothes, or fragile items.

By visiting our store, you'll find boxes of different sizes and strengths, designed to transport your belongings safely.

We also offer essential accessories for protecting your items, such as sturdy adhesive tape, protective blankets, and mattress covers.

Importantly, we provide a free delivery service with a minimum purchase amount.

The staff on-site will be available to advise you and help you choose the materials best suited to your needs, whether you're moving locally or long distance.

Additionally, our store offers utility equipment such as dollies, lifting straps, or trolleys.

Supermarkets and Large Retail Stores

Supermarkets and large retail stores, such as Walmart or Canadian Tire, may sometimes offer moving boxes.

These general stores can be handy if you need boxes quickly while doing your shopping.

However, their selection of moving boxes and related accessories is often limited compared to what you'll find in specialized stores.

While you may find standard boxes and a few packing items like adhesive tape or bubble wrap, these stores don't always have all the necessary materials for a complete move.

For more specific needs, it's often better to turn to a dedicated moving store or a specialized online shop.

Large retail stores can be convenient for last-minute purchases, but they don't necessarily cover all the needs for a well-organized move.

Caution: Avoid buying boxes that are too thin, as they may deform and not adequately protect your belongings during transport.

Eco-Friendly Solutions: Buying Recycled Boxes

Pour ceux qui souhaitent adopter une approche plus respectueuse de l'environnement lors de leur déménagement, l'achat de cartons recyclés ou réutilisés représente une alternative intéressante. 

For those who wish to take a more environmentally friendly approach during their move, purchasing recycled or reused boxes is an interesting alternative.

At DMAX, we offer exactly this type of recycled boxes. These solutions help reduce waste by reusing existing materials, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and eco-responsible approach.

Plastic Moving Bins: A Practical and Eco-Friendly Option

Renting plastic moving bins is another alternative to consider for an eco-friendly solution.

DMAX offers eco-friendly bins, ideal for protecting your belongings while reducing environmental impact.

Unlike boxes, which can deform or tear, these bins offer better durability and reusability.

How to Recycle or Dispose of Boxes After Moving?

Once your move is complete, you're often left with a large number of boxes. Instead of throwing them away, there are several options to recycle or reuse them, contributing to a more environmentally friendly approach.

Recycling Boxes

Most municipalities offer recycling services for boxes. You can place them in your recycling bin or take them to a local sorting center.

Before recycling your boxes, make sure they are clean and flattened to maximize space in the bin.

If you have a large number of boxes, some recycling centers may even accept to pick them up directly from your home.

Reusing Boxes

For example, you can keep them for a future move, use them to store items, or give them to friends or neighbors who are planning a move.

You can also offer them on platforms like Kijiji, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace, where many people are looking for used boxes.

Donating or Selling Boxes

Some online platforms connect people who want to get rid of their boxes with those who are looking for them.

Additionally, various movers or local organizations accept used boxes to give them a second life.

Creative Recycling

Finally, if you're creative, boxes can be used for various DIY projects.

They can be used to make storage solutions, children's toys, or even temporary furniture.

Many online tutorials offer ideas for transforming boxes into useful or decorative items.

Tips for Packing and Protecting Fragile Items

Packing fragile items during a move may require some preparation to ensure they arrive intact at their destination. Here are a few suggestions to help you organize and protect your delicate belongings.

Using Bubble Wrap and Packing Kits

Bubble wrap is very practical for wrapping items such as dishes, glasses, or decorative objects.

By wrapping each item with several layers of bubble wrap, you reduce the risk of breakage.

Packing kits can also be useful, as they gather all the necessary materials to properly protect your items.

You can also fill empty spaces in the boxes with foam sheets or paper to prevent items from shifting during transport.

Organizing Boxes by Room or Category

To simplify unpacking and ensure a more organized move, it's helpful to group items by room or category in the boxes.

For example, kitchen items can be packed together, while fragile items like dishes or glasses are better packed separately.

Labeling the boxes with their contents and the destination room also makes the movers' job easier and allows you to quickly find your belongings once you're settled.
