Boxes!

[juliet]

Can anyone suggest where we might be able to acquire boxes, of a variety suitable for Moving Things In? We have some solid plastic ones already; we're after cardboard now (disposable or in some other way temporary).

I have already thought of asking Unwins, or the Red Square. Other suggestions welcome...

Edit: I forgot to mention the other constraints: that we have basically no free time between now and Saturday (which is when we move) - so local shops are doable but further afield not so much; and that we have no form of transport until the actual moving date so things need to be public-transport-friendly. I am leaning towards putting in an order with Viking for flat-pack cardboard boxes, which is environmentally bad but I can't work out the logistics of any other options :-( (though I will haul home as many boxes as I can from work - we have several paper-boxes).

As already noted, the boxes that fruit arrive at supermarkets in are strong (since the fruit can take none of the weight of a stack). Wine boxes are not so good since they assume the contents will take some of the weight of a stack. You have to ask the supermarket to save them, as they tend to compact and recycle them immediately these days.
I've usually used boxes that used to hold computer equipment, as they're always the best. Can you find someone who has just had a delivery of a lot of laptops, LCD screens, or similar?
