I had to send a bunch of boxes of paintings north in December. I bought packing boxes at Home Depot, some of them heavy boxes for wardrobes. The woman at The UPS annex said they weren’t heavy enough and showed me that they were maybe rated for 60 lbs, while she said I needed boxes with around a 150 lb rating. Maybe they sold them there. I don’t know. I shipped them elsewhere.

One good place to buy boxes is any U-Haul rental shop.
