Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future?


It’s become very unwieldy to keep all my equipment shipping boxes. It’s also quite expesive to store them - a few hundred a month. Any suggestions?

I used to store all mine in the attic, but now I keep everything locked away in an empty office at my job. A fringe benefit of being the Building Operations Manager.

you must have a lot of equipment if you need to have a storage unit for just the boxes. Don't the boxes have a lot of air in them, can't you collapse them?

Possibly cut them at the seams and flatten them for storage. Repurchase packing material when you sell.

If I flatten the boxes and discard the original foam, will the resailability be as adversely affected? In thebfuture I can ship the equipment in the original boxes, but with new bubble wrap or other internal material.

Been buying and selling equipment for years. Absolutely keep the original boxes and any associated packing and paperwork. When I buy I'm looking for this as part of any equipment purchase and would expect a significant discount if the original packing is not available.
