KEEP THE BOX!!!
If its collectable or if parts are expensive enough for me to care about the warranty.
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.
i can’t explain, only rationalise.
Generally throw away but will keep for more expensive stuff to help with moving.
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.
Phone: keep. Everything else: DESTROY
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.
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 😪
