packaging materials (roxbury)
I am a starting out trying to open up a brand new thift store online. I have made a couple of sales but the price for packaging at the post office is killing me. if anyone knows of how I could get a constant supply of free already used boxes that I can recycle I would be eternally grateful.

Request:
clothes (roxbury)
Hello, my name is Katie and I am the mom of 3 special needs kids. I have been unable to work for quite some time but I think I have found a way I just need a little help from you if you don't mind. I am starting an online store getting rid of used clothes access and beauty products. I have been posting things I own and I think I may be onto something here. Now here comes the part I need you. I am begging you to find it in your heart to go through your closet and please let me know where and when to meet you so I can pick it up. If I got a little bit of help from a couple of people I think I really have a shot with being able to take the money and reinvest in it to try to keep this little business going. I am a recovering addict and I have messed my life up pretty good before my kids were even born. We are absolutely struggling here and we need to find a way out of this all. I am willing to do the work and come pick it all up with my pushcart and everything. Please if you have anything I mean anything please let me know. I would be so grateful to be able to come get it! [ Items received in response to this request will be resold ]

Dual monitor arm (Newton Corner/Nonantum Rd)
Recently bought from a thrift store to try it out on my own set up, but it won’t work because we have a wall behind our desk. You need a pretty “deep” desk in order for the screens to not be 2 inches from your face with this monitor arm. There are a few screws missing, but it is mountable and you could easily replace the screws from Home Depot.
