I try not to go higher than 3 in a stack of long boxes but short boxes can be stacked higher - off the top of my head it sounds like you have short boxes. There are supports you can buy, though.

Yup it's the short boxes. The long ones ARE cheaper going on a £/size basis but for transporting purposes (ie. moving) I would feel much MUCH more secure about carrying 2xsmallies than 1xfull biggie which would definitely split down the middle and empty get onto £1000 worth of material on the floor.
Saw those supports and while they'd make things more secure and allow stacking with ease and allow getting to the bottoms ones a dream, the cost puts them in the not4me bracket.
...which would definitely split down the middle...
Nah, they don't. Most of my boxes are long boxes and they've never split but, admittedly, they are more of a pain to manoeuvre. I can handle them on my own but the shorties are much easier to deal with.
I remember why I prefer shorties - during the last move, while I would struggle to carry a single one any further than the 3m from where it is stacked to the floor to easy rummagethruing, the mover-guys were able to carry them up the stairs in 3s.. yup 3 at a time. And I don't think the longies should be carried in 2s, oh deary no.
As for those supports, while they would make stacking more secure, and removing the bottom ones a peesapeees, their cost puts them into the idontthinkso bracket.
