In Seoul - where can I get/buy boxes (you know cardboard kind) for packing my things?

I am moving inside the country so dont need anything special.

Cheers

Normally outside of a supermarket (or by the counters)

The two times I moved, and needed to pack my things in boxes, I got them from Home Plus. There will be an area somewhere in any Home Plus or Emart or what-have-you that has boxes, tape and ribbon for tying the boxes up. It's really nice to load up and wrap the boxes all together with the ribbon and carry them home. Easy and free!

What above said. At Emart for sure there is an area (after you buy your stuff) where you can use their used boxes to take stuff home. Can't get really big boxes but may have some medium size there.

I can't help you with ordering them, but Koreans usually use these really strong, BLUE color boxes that you can order online. They're extremely tough and they come in different sizes. But yeah, cardboard boxes outside of stores work too (if they don't get wet and fall apart).

You can always buy them at the post office.
