Is it possible for me to get free moving cardboard boxes?

I have seen several articles stating that some supermarkets are giving out free moving boxes, however those articles dated few years ago. Anyone knows can I still get them for me now?
Big supermarket chains such as Tesco should still offer this; don't be afraid to ask! If not, I managed to get a lot for a reasonable price at B&Q, and they've worked really well—they survived two moves and are still strong! 😅
Yes, you can go to any supermarket and ask a member of staff if you could get some cardboard boxes from the back. Don’t be afraid to ask, most are happy to help! I always try ask the member of staff I can find closest to the back of the shop so it’s not too much out of their way to get them if they’re busy.

You might need to time it right or try a few times though as they get crushed pretty soon after they’re used, so if they don’t have any the first time you can just ask when is the best time to come (for example, after they get their deliveries).
