Funny story, today I met someone that was using their phone box as a case for their phone

Joke's on you, mine is filled with charging cables I've never unwrapped.

You can take my phone boxes, but you'll never take my game console boxes

I'd say keep a few boxes for second hand shipping and storing things but otherwise just toss everythting. A single phone box is fine imo but more is pointless

Yeah, I just needed mine for a warranty return on my Pixel. It also had my sim ejector in it. Plus, as someone who worked retail for a few years, I can tell you that if you need to do a return on an item, having it in the box with all the packaging looking nice and neat gets a lot of rules bent about restocking fees, receipts, warranties, etc...

...i threw the box out after 12 years, and the next day I had to wrap a new that fit perfectly in that box...

I still have the box for my Treo 650.

I sell my old electronics and I get good used prices compared to others. I think it is partially because I have the original box to sell it in.

There is a lot of validation in this thread.

They said that about the big box full of cords too, but I saw what happened to Gen X.

Won't be me.

I usually send my broken phone to one of those places that buys it off me, so the box totally helps ship it.

It is also where I keep the SIM card key.

My insurance wanted to receive my broken phone back in its orthogonal box if possible.

It was shipped back in the box for my last phone before it.

Actually bad advice

Done! Now what do I do about the closet full of Amazon boxes?

emotional support boxes

Akshully...... I use all of them to keep little treasures. That I need. For keeping. Like phone boxes.

I have a large box in my garage labelled 'product boxes' that's full

It's for me.....id upvote but..... ya know

I used a cardboard once. This justify everything for ever

Some of those boxes are very nice. I’ll paint them, decorate them, and use them for storage. Add some custom-cut foam inserts and they make excellent storage solutions for minis.

Then why are so much resources wasted on such high quality boxes?

I won't even see the boxes in the store as they're in storage. They take the box out front in the store and open it for you or if you ordered online, it arrives and you open it

Stop the waste

My work pays for my phone I just need to return it after. I keep the box for that. It is very convenient!

People are selling them on my local market place. Not sure if any of them sell but they have all sorts of boxes for sale.

Boxes stack better than lose phones with various different sizes and shapes of camera bumps.

Not a millennial but I guess I did need to hear this

It's easier to resell the phone later on if you have the original box. Why throw it away if it takes up practically no free space?
