Consumer Reports offers some recommendations on how to manage storage.
With closets and other storage spaces tight for many of us, the last thing we want is for them to be taken up by something we don’t even need. We’re talking about boxes and other packaging from electronics like laptops, phones and tablets.
Is it OK to get rid of them? Consumer Reports offers some tips to help you decide when to hold them and when to fold them. There are some times when it’s a no-brainer to hang on to a box, at least for a little while, like when there’s a chance you might return a product. Depending on where you bought it, you might not get a full refund without the original packaging. So it might be worth keeping during the return window, which is often 14 to 90 days, especially for expensive electronics.
Another time to hold on to the box is when it's an item you might resell. People are much more likely to buy secondhand products when they’re in the original packaging.CR also says keeping the box while the manufacturer’s warranty is in effect might make it easier if you have to send an item back, although most will accept an item for repairs in any box.
