Movers pay $2 to $5 a box at the store, then toss them after one use. Online sellers and small shops buy new shipping boxes by the case. Meanwhile, stacks of clean, sturdy boxes sit in garages, apartment hallways and store back rooms, headed for the dumpster.
If you've got a truck and some free time, you can be the one who connects the two.
Box Route Basics shows you, step by step, how to run a simple local box business. You pick up clean used moving and shipping boxes and resell them to the people who need them next. Everything is pickup and delivery right in your own town, with no shipping, no warehouse and no website needed to start.
Inside, you'll learn:
- Where to find free or cheap boxes: people who just moved, stores, offices and apartment buildings.
- The Grade A box standard: what to keep, what to toss, and how to sort by size.
- The standard moving and shipping box sizes your buyers will ask for.
- Who buys boxes, from people moving to local online sellers and small businesses.
- What to charge, with example price lists and bundle ideas.
- Simple flyers and posts that bring in calls, including a ready-to-use "We pay for clean boxes" flyer.
- How to plan your routes so you're not wasting gas.
