Moving Boxes and Packing Supplies: Cheap, Easy and Online
When you're busy planning a move, they're the sort of thing that it's easy to leave
until the last minute: boxes. Though you might not give them much thought, getting
the right kind of moving boxes, and getting enough of them, can make all the difference.
Order online from the web's finest packing supply distributors and you'll have one
less thing to worry about.
Sure, when you're in a hurry, it might seem cheap and easy to go scrounging for
leftover cardboard boxes behind supermarkets and liquor stores. But when you start
unpacking and find that your dress shirts smell like sour milk and your antique
china has been chipped because it fell out of its box, it'll be too late to reconsider.
A few points to remember:
|
 |
When you're looking for moving boxes, keep in mind that boxes made from corrugated
cardboard are stronger than regular boxes and are better suited to handle both heavier
and more delicate items. |
|
|
Make sure you order enough cardboard moving boxes to handle your job. Also remember
to order them in a variety of sizes. Too little box space, or too much, can be a
problem. |
|
|
Strong tape is the key to holding your boxes, and your belongings, together. Duct
tape is the strongest, but high quality masking and scotch tape will also do the
job. |
|
|
Bubble wrap and packing peanuts aren't just for the professionals; they can cushion
your valuables too. |
|
|
Keep in mind that many
moving companies will not be held liable for damaged items that were not
packed by them. |

Here are some packing tips. |
