KEEP THE BOX!!!
keep.
i can’t explain, only rationalise.
It depends on what it is. Computer components, smartphone, TV and other “high tech” devices I will keep the boxes of because it makes it easier to sell and transport if needed. But for everything else I will throw them away.

Same as these are the most likely things to be shipped off for warranty service.
Keep. You know, just until I know I’ll be keeping the thing and won’t be returning it. I’ll totally remember to get rid of the box.
It started with computer components. When/if you resell, that crowd ALWAYS wants the box and will pay more.
And it’s kind of spread…
Why is the box so important?
I wish I knew!
I love a good mystery
Keep only within specific, narrow size parameters. I want the right size boxes because I move frequently; not so small as to be inefficient, not so large they will be back-crushing when full. The rest are broken down and send to the recycling bin.
Phone: keep. Everything else: DESTROY
Generally throw away but will keep for more expensive stuff to help with moving.
I tend to toss the box, at least after the store return period ends. My partner keeps them. We still have boxes for appliances that have been gone for years.
Just dont ask about jars 😪
If its collectable or if parts are expensive enough for me to care about the warranty.
