RULES:
I have the boxes for any electronics still in my possession. This is because very rarely can you find information from the piece/part itself, and you need the box/manual that came with it.
This post is generally bad advice. If you throw everything away, you are at the mercy of a Google search for any information you may need.
Not a millennial but I guess I did need to hear this
Done! Now what do I do about the closet full of Amazon boxes?
You might be able to reuse them next time you need to send a package! Better keep at least fifty just incase.
Makes a really effective DIY monitor hood when you're using an old phone as an external monitor for your video camera.
I admit that's probably a use case for the few of us that can't afford good filming gear. But finding DIY solutions is fun.
Never!
The sole reason why I keep my boxes, is because some people won't buy your phone unless you also have the box with it. Otherwise they'll rightfully assume that you stole it from some random person and want to pawn it off.
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
The make really nice boxes though.
I'd have to find it first. I mean, it's probably here somewhere.
I used a cardboard once. This justify everything for ever
I think I have every phone box since my original Galaxy Nexus in 2011. :(
I get a better deal if i resell it with his original box.
They aren't built to last long enough to go back in the box, or is that just me disabling and destructing phones all about the place?
I threw out a box of cell phone boxes just this week at the behest of my wife. Apparently it's a quintessentially millennial thing to do...
At this point I think my OG Droid box is almost a family heirloom.
Is this the OCD support group?
No.
You're not my dad!
Meh, I always sell my phones if I don't trade them in. Doesn't hurt to keep the tiny box it came in.
I'll need it for at least 2 years. If the phone dies I'll need to send it back for warranty.
I worked in support for a phone manufacturer for a few years. You don't need the box for an RMA. Just a bubble bag with the phone loose is more than sufficient. Double-check your phone's warranty but most warranties do not require original packaging
Hey. Those boxes are great for sewing notions.
I used mine as a door stop for my balcony door for years.
