    Your going to need something locally. Get a hold of a local business help center in your city, they will have info on local box manufacturers such as norampac(in my area). Also if you dont need a large amount consider talking to local grocery stores or warehouses if you happen to know someone working at one and see if they mind selling or even giving you any extra boxes!

    Depending on how many you need (and I dont know if you want only plain brown ones) you can certainly get boxes for free at a lot of locations. However, depending on where you go, they may have logos or writing on them. If you are shipping as a brand you wouldnt want anything but plain or stuff with your own logo. If you dont care what's on the box, I would maybe suggest even a law firm. I work at a big law firm and there are always soo many boxes everywhere getting throwaway. We move huge amounts of binders and files in them everywhere and then toss them. If you need plain boxes I wouldnt know where to tell you the best price is.

    well, I need about 5k boxes and size will be 8x6x6. About free boxes, sometimes they are too big and sometimes they are too small, then you need to either cut it or make it bigger.

    Try Boxes, Shipping Boxes, Shipping Supplies, Packaging Materials, Cardboard Boxes - ULINE
    There are dozens of box companies nationwide though. For plain corrugated boxes, uline is pretty competitive.

    Uline.com would probably be your best bet.
