Looking for Cardboard Boxes

Since I'm likely to be moving some time in the next few months, I'm looking for cardboard boxes. If anybody has them to spare, I'd love to know. Thanks!

If you have any friends in retail or food service, hit them up (especially food service). The daily deliveries of stuff generate hundreds of boxes that they just throw away, and they're often HAPPY to give them to employees.

I've been told that McDonalds' french-fry boxes are particularly good or heavy items. The fries come frozen, in a plastic bag, so the box is usually pretty clean, and frozen french fries are freaking heavy, so the box is pretty sturdy.

Bookstores get lots of boxes, too.
