Moving Boxes

Why go through the expense of purchasing Moving Boxes instead of pilfering them out of the dumpster of some store or market?  Here are three very good reasons.

The first is size. They come in specific sizes and shapes for specific items. There are book boxes, large boxes for bulky items like toys, linens or pillows. Here are wardrobes in two lengths, one for dresses and long jackets, one for shirts, blouses and pants (or kid’s clothes). There are even special ones for artwork.

They are sturdy and reusable as well as collapsible. So you purchase once and can use them multiple times. They won’t crush or bend like store boxes can.  They are also more sanitary.

Moving Boxes, because they only come in a few sizes, stack easier and more closely together. That means the things in them are more secure and less easily jostled .in the van.  They are also easier to label and read in a pinch, especially if you write on the top and one side.  Some companies will provide the Packaging Supplies for a minimal fee

It is easy to find good ones on line, but be wary since you are purchasing them sight unseen. You may get inferior quality and less sturdy corrugated cardboard. Often times these websites have purchased used ones, or discarded and defected ones.  Also, be careful how much info you give out. The lists have been sold to thieves.  When it comes to moving boxes, the Moving Companies may be your best source.
