  4. Box Cycle is a great way to get rid of your boxes instead of throwing them away! Or if you need to find some boxes in your area you can get boxes for a cheap price! Box Cycle makes listing, buying, and selling used boxes simple and efficient while providing buyers with lower prices and sellers with higher returns. There are no upfront fees; Box Cycle only makes money after successful sales by deducting a commission before remitting proceeds to the seller.

  5. An environmentally superior option The reason that Treasure Homes condones this type of WEB 2.0 technology is that with the use of Box Cycle one is reducing the amount of trash that is going into landfills. This is the same type of beliefs that Treasure Homes has with trying to “reduce, reuse, and recycle” with Treasure Homes own produces. So with Box Cycle we see this as an environmentally superior option, for Box Cycle is another great way that business can work with people or vice versa to save materials for moving and or for storage.

  6. Why this technology is great for any business Retailers receive daily shipments in boxes that they then spend time and money getting rid of. While many retailers are happy to provide used boxes to others, they don't have time to look for interested people, but with the help of Box Cycle this is no longer a problem. Every day people purchase new shipping and moving boxes at a significant expense. While it is possible to find low cost, or even free, used boxes, the process is often time consuming, embarrassing, and full of frustration and uncertainty. So by using the technology of Box Cycle these every day people can find lox cost boxes from business. With Box Cycle buyers can instantly see willing sellers of boxes in their area. Where in the same day they can pay for and pick up the boxes that they need.
