Of course you cannot get free boxed sets, someone has to pay to make
them, and the 'official' sets contribute finances for the project.
And the boxed sets that come with manuals, someone has to pay to print
those as well.
FreeBSD is free in that you do not pay for the software and are free to
use it under the very liberal terms of the BSD license. You get all the
source code and you may do what you wish to it, as long as you don't
pretend to have written it and display the appropriate copyright notices
etc (see BSD license for details).

- To buy a boxed set google for it in your country for a reseller, in
  the states the outlets are listed on the website.
- Download it via the ftp site
- Find someone to download it and burn it on a CD for you
