    I'm not really sure if they do this in Australia i didn't notice when i was over there, but some supermarkets in the UK have spare boxes piled up near the exit that the fruit and veg came in that they allow you to take away, if you can't see them on show there's no harm in asking for them.

    Or you could buy plastic storage containers they're pretty useful for storing things in your cellar or attic after you've moved.

    You have to work hard, repetitive, often dirty, and there is always a risk that you will mis-pack so that the stuff may not go in the box or is not in it. Shifting is heavy work that you can hurt yourself with. Anyone who can do this very well is a treasure for any company, but few companies realize this and repeatedly hire people who have little potential and paying ridiculously low wages. Anyone with a lot of intelligence will be bored out of their skull and do a poor job. One needs to have limited intelligence but the ability to learn a sequence of motions well.

    Hi. For this kind of packing you could use some waste Carton to put. Or ask some local store for one or 2. This is no problem.

    Grocery stores, Bookstores and Craigslist is the best option to get packing boxes.
