Interesting, I wish they would bring that to Canada. I hate seeing my recycling bin full of one time use cardboard boxes.
There's a small chain of hardware stores in North America called Lee Valley (think specialty hardware and tools, not HomeDepot). The owner was so annoyed at all the boxes he offered to pay anyone $0.25 for any box they brought it. He even used not so subtle language like "Those boxes with a smile." It was during the pandemic so I suspect it was a little self serving (ex. their supply of boxes was hard to come by or their cost was greater than $0.25 for regular boxes), but the message came off as very genuine.

It also, hilariously, sometimes didn't even result in fewer deliveries, just all of those deliveries occurring on one day.
