Where can I get tech boxes?

So I've been looking to redecorate my room and I've also been looking at Linus's WAN show. They have this awesome background with boxes for tons of different boxes of tech stuff. I know they probably get them from unboxings but my question is, can I go anywhere to get just the boxes that the parts come or electronics come in? If I go to BestBuy and ask, do you think they would hand me some unused boxes?

I don't think BestBuy will have them, but a specialized computer hardware store *might* have them. But unlikely, they just take up space, as far as they are concerned.

Yeah but perhaps if I go to the store when they are about to throw them out or just tell them I want them and maybe they'll save them for more the next time I go there for a small fee. Do you think they would do that?

Good idea. But I don't really have the time to do that... or the initial investment

buy stuff

i buy stuff and collect my boxes.

Yeah me too. The problem is I don't have that much stuff or money. My dad also has a habit of throwing my boxes away. He doesn't realize that sometimes if something good comes in a box, that box isn't trash.

Chances are big box stores keep their boxes in case of returns with a damaged box so that might be a no-go.
