Sturdy boxes at a good price.
Walmart had the best prices around. Sturdy boxes and I like it was recycled paper. I have bought both the medium and large sizes and the price is so good it kept me from running around town begging for boxes from business and dealing with all sorts of odd sizes and dirty used boxes.

There's something missing here…
Something is seriously wrong with these boxes. While I can agree they are sturdy and large, never have I ever seen boxes with the missing perforation to fold them. The boxes ripped, folded incorrectly and are very hard to tape up now. I'm not sure if this was just a bad batch, but the ones I didn't bend are for sure going back to the store.

    Very disappointing
    The boxes were not strong enough even with a few things as soon as you lifted the handle is broke.

    Walmart for the win when moving!
    The boxes are very durable for how much I've put in them! Super easy to put together %26 they have some space with boxes to check off as to what is you're putting in. Bonus: When your place is an absolutely mess, you can use these boxes for decoration! See picture.

    Disappointing Choice in Moving Boxes
    We recently purchased a 3 sets of these boxes for our relocation, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend them. While they appeared promising at first, our experience with these boxes has left us frustrated and disappointed. We were faced with the task of packing up a 3-bedroom, kitchen, dining room, garage, 2.5-bathroom home, and we thought these boxes would be up to the challenge. They proved to be spacious enough to accommodate a variety of items, from books and clothing to toys and kitchenware. However, the main flaw in these boxes became glaringly apparent as soon as we attempted to lift them. The handles of these boxes are a serious design flaw. Despite their seemingly sturdy appearance, they are shockingly weak. We did not over stuff the boxes because it was all hands on deck to help with moving. The moment we attempted to grip the handles and lift, the sides of the boxes tore apart, leaving us with no option but to carry them awkwardly in our arms. This issue was exacerbated when dealing with larger boxes, requiring us to enlist the help of another person just to prevent further damage. The lack of sturdy handles undermines their overall utility and renders them unsuitable for their intended purpose. Check out the pictures.

    Amazingly strong
    They were nice and strong. When moving I need a few nice strong boxes to toss trashed items into.

    Really bad quality
    The boxes fall apart immediately!! I also purchased boxes from Lowe's, and they are still fine. These are cheap, but beware.

    Refund needed!
    Do NOT buy. Each and every box handles have torn so they can not be carried using them. The quality is poor. Some of the boxes split down the corners as soon as they were taped. My Uhaul boxes are packed the same way and still indestructible.

    Great Moving Boxes
    great boxes for moving. they are sturdy. they have handles. and a place to write contents of the box. I bought the large and medium and they were bigger than I expected so I also bought a small. they came all packaged in strong plastic so I can slide one or two out at a time as I need them and they stack perfectly in my garage . Good sizes for different items. less than $120 and I have plenty of boxes to move.

    Angry
    I've ordered Penn n Gear singles boxes from Walmart twice now. I order 2 or more boxes at a time. Im on the lookout just about every day at walmart. Twice now, within afew short hours after theyre in stock again is when i order and pay. Both times, theyve become unavailable after ive ordered. Dont count on Walmart to have them in stock when you order. good luck! I cant find any other place that sells these particular boxes. the Large moving boxes 24x19x16 singles, are rare. Even the company itself. Penn n Gear doesnt sell them as singles either! grrrr.....

    ok so far
    we've packed about 20 of these so far, no issues. they seem strong enough. we'll know better once we actually move, which won't be for awhile. but a decent price, and a decent profit. I mean, what do you expect from a box?

    Do not buy! Very disappointing!
    These boxes are really terrible. Unless you're only packing very light things, the boxes can't handle being even partially full. The handle area is the weakest part of the box! You absolutely cannot lift the box by the handle (cutout area)!

    large boxes
    The boxes arrived in great shape. There were very few dent marks and they were wrapped in plastic and had strapping around them. It is a large delivery. They are 40" wide and they're fairly tall alittle over 3 ft tall and they're about 10 to 12 inches deep when they're strapped together. They're a wonderful size. I have no regrets about this purchase. They are as pictured.

    Horrible quality and over priced
    Thinnest boxes ever don't hold shape. I taped a lot and the boxes were falling in every direction while carrying during moving. The handles break as soon as you use to lift. Very disappointing. Ohh and the blue on box come off on walls while u set the boxes against them. SMH

    Complete crap
    Do not pack with these! They rip extremely easily and we used a ridiculous amount of tape just to hold them together. They have handles on the side that tear as soon as you use them. They're complete garbage and a waste of money

    Not worth the money...
    These boxes are not worth the $4 that they charge. They fall apart so easily and they're so fragile and you waste so many of them that you might as well just upgrade to a plastic bin for another $2 and have it last. I've bought so many of these boxes and I probably had about three or four of them so far rip just completely.

    16 boxes and HUNDREDS OF GERMAN ROACHES
    Roach Infestation. That's all I got from ordering these boxes. I purchased these boxes so that I could move out of my former house. They came very late, as they had to go back for inspection. I'm assuming that's because German roaches were probably coming out of the box. when I recieved this package, it was a Thursday. I put it in the garage of my new house and waited until Sunday to go collect/pack up some of my things. Again, much later than anticipated. by the time I put the box in my van, I noticed roaches crawling out. I opened the box and to my surprise, only 16 boxes were inside. But several more roaches. I took each box of individually and made sure no more bugs were inside and returned them to Walmart. without even recieving an apology. It's been a month or more now and no amount of bug spray has solved my roach problem. I'm disgusted that no one has reached out to me about this and my review isn't even posted, as far as I can see. SHAME ON YOU WALMART. Sold me a bad product and infested my garage and probably everything inside of it with GERMAN ROACHES. I can't even walk into the garage for any reason at night without first killing several of them as they run all over the place.

    Probably skip these if you have any other option
    They're okay in a pinch, but not sturdy at all. One of them ripped open and dumped my clothes everywhere mid move.

    Ok product, poor shipping.
    The boxes themselves are ok, not the greatest quality, but do the work needed. The shipment of the boxes is another story. The box the bundle came in was destroyed on all sides. When it arrived I thought it was garbage left in my lobby until I saw my name on the label. Do to the poor outside box quality, most of the boxes have damages edges. Seems like the shipping carrier doesn't care for the size and weight of this package. I would recommend this product for anyone whom needs budget boxes shipped for free. If price isn't an option, there are much better options out there (uline).
