Anybody want sturdy carboard boxes for free? For moving? Or storing?

Rebekah from Flaxmere

These are now gone.

I regularly get strong cardboard boxes with my medical supplies deliveries. I have built up quite a stash and looking to rehome them. They are very strong, designed to carry fluid bags (very dense weight) while having several boxes stacked on top of each other. Also, because I have so many of the same size, they are excellent for efficient stacking!
Some quite big ones are even double walled!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
