Are you in need of moving boxes?

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

 

 

First of all it is important to plan ahead and save all the boxes that could be used for a move broken down and in a safe, dry place. Secondly look for moving boxes at toy stores, grocery stores, and (my favorite) hospitals.

So, you didn’t do this or just plain couldn’t, what do you do now?

Order some online, of course. When ordering boxes look at the dimensions, this will give you a basic idea of the volume inside the box, and what you can fit in it. Also know that many boxes made for moving should have a seal printed on the bottom that gives their strength and capacity.  You can find moving boxes that are made out of single or double walled corrugated cardboard.  Get the strong ones if you can so they won’t crush under whatever is packed on top of them.  If you look around you can find wholesale moving boxes and supplies shipped flat to your house, saving you money.

Don’t forget to get packing paper, packing tape, bubble wrap and of couple markers too. 

Hired muscle for your moving pod

Are you in a big hurry to move? There can be many reasons you find yourself in this predicament. Or maybe you would rather pay someone else to do the heavy lifting, and walking back and forth for you.

If you are using a moving pod or a rental truck or simply have a lot of stuff to move then looking into hiring other people to do the lifting and carrying for you could save a lot of time and strain.

I found movers that will move your stuff info your pod or truck for you. This is a large company that can send people to you no matter where you are. They will even pack for you if you supply the packing materials. You can schedule them for loading or unloading or both if you are only moving within 50 miles. I would think that you could schedule a loading and then an unloading separately if you are moving a long distance. They can also help you with your overseas move. My favorite part about this moving company is that they have pre-priced packages right there on the order service page. If you are looking for this type of service then check them out.
