I also think that in the end, the best way to move is by making sure the boxes you use are clean and free of unwanted bugs or mold from prior perishables use. I prefer that if you collect boxes for moving, you’d be better off using an abundance of smaller boxes rather than the large ones with the exception of furniture. I like how every perpetual “hole” was covered because an untapped resource for receiving packing tape is definitely on your local craiglist. People are dying to get rid of unwanted supplies for little or no cost. It’s worth it. If you value your stuff more, then and only then would you go out of your way to purchase heavy duty boxes, but only if it’s for fragile items you want to preserve like media (DVDs, Records, CDS, etc.) or irreplaceable items (photos, sentimental items, etc.)

well.. I’m about to be moving for the fourth time in two years because I am in college… and the most convenient thing for me was that my stepdad had bought some heavy-duty plastic boxes, easy to stack with attached lids from the flea market for dirt cheap that he used when he moved his stuff a couple years ago. so now I use them, and I don’t have to worry about getting cardboard boxes (which obviously I use some, but not a whole lot.) The plastic ones work really well for heavy items such as books, and things that you might be afraid will break if they are stored in a carboard box, due to squishing and whatnot. I will use them again the 5th..6th..7th time..and so on that I move! So moral of that is to decide which is better for your needs based on if you are going to need to move a lot, and to check the flea markets!

Cheap Moving Boxes I found after search the web for a few hours comparing prices and with the lowest prices. I used some boxes which I picked up from the liquer store and when I unpacked i found a few unwanted bugs lurking around! I will buy new from now on, the newspaper worked good except I had a dirty face afterwords as the ink came off on my hands and got my white linens dirty. I used a place I found here, CheapMovingBoxes.info and had great sucess with the prices and the delivery was free. I have ordered from onother reputable box company but the shipping charges ate up my pocketbook. I used ryder for the local move as I was ablt to negosiate the milage rate with them, it pays to be friendly to the representatives there. I used plasti bags for stuffing and had blankets I kept out for padding between the furniture. Hope this helps…

I’d definitely recommend donating to the Salvation Army. They pick up within 1 week and it’s great, you give to charity and make your move simpler!

If you have lots of heavy books, I found that the standard “office boxes” with their side hand openings were much easier to handle and stack. Also, standard size boxes facillitated compact arrangement in the truck. Label boxes. Definitely use dollys and carts to move boxes (don’t carry them!). Be aware that packing takes much longer than expected. Moving time provides a good opportunity to donate your extra stuff (pickup times may take weeks). Last minute yard sales usually require too much valuable time and effort for their small profit. Consider moving earlier than necessary so weather and all the unexpected stuff doesn’t make moving day even more difficult.
