Tips for getting the best price for your boxes

Keep Boxes Dry

Store boxes indoors or covered. Wet or moldy boxes have reduced value or may not be accepted.

Sort by Condition

Separate clean boxes from damaged ones. Pre-sorted loads get faster evaluation and better pricing.

Stack Properly

Flat-stacked or nested boxes are easier to count, evaluate, and transport. This speeds up pickup.

Bulk Up

Larger quantities get better per-unit prices. Consider combining loads or scheduling regular pickups.

Remove Contents

Empty boxes completely. Remove any plastic, tape, or debris for best pricing.

Take Photos

Send photos of your boxes before pickup for accurate quotes. Include shots showing quantity and condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about selling boxes

What's the minimum quantity for pickup?
We require a minimum of 20 boxes for free pickup. Smaller quantities can be delivered to our facility, or we can combine with other pickups in your area.
How do you determine the price?
Pricing is based on box condition, size, wall construction, and current market demand. We provide quotes based on photos or on-site inspection. Prices are always fair market value.
How quickly do I get paid?
Payment is typically same-day upon pickup. We pay by company check or can arrange ACH transfer for regular sellers.
Will you buy damaged boxes?
Yes, we buy boxes with minor damage (small tears, crushed corners) at reduced prices. Severely damaged boxes may only have recycling value. Send photos and we'll let you know.
Do you buy boxes with printing on them?
Yes! Printed boxes are accepted. Heavy printing or specific branding may slightly reduce value, but most printed boxes have good resale value.
Can I set up regular pickups?
Absolutely! Many businesses schedule weekly or monthly pickups. Regular sellers often qualify for better pricing and priority scheduling.
