When you're moving, what do you need and
where do you get it?
Moving Boxes, packing
tape, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, and so much more. Where do
you find the best products at the best price - so that you can make
your move with as little stress as possible?
Boxes
and supplies when you are moving are as basic
a need as you can get. They are the lifeblood.
They are not the "sexy" part so to speak but
without sturdy and reliable supplies and boxes,
your goods end up still in your old home or
in a heap on your driveway.

Packing
Safety!!
HOW
TO PACK for Your Move!!
With a little care and planning,
you and your stuff will both arrive in mint condition. Most
damage comes from vibration. Think of a stack of dishes
in a moving box on the bed of a bouncing truck. No matter
how well the sides are padded, a firm up-and-down jolt could
crack the entire stack. On the other hand, dishes packed
on edge and surrounded by bubble wrap have a better chance
of surviving the trip unharmed.
In the long run, it pays to purchase the right packing materials.
Sturdy moving boxes, Packing Tape,
Bubble Wrap, and Packing Paper
are worth the money. A Tape Dispenser may
help you move along quicker. Supplement with copious amounts
of blankets and pillows; even clothing can serve as a buffer
between breakable objects. There should be no empty space
in a box, however don't overpack the moving box either.
Use the right moving box. A good packing job starts with
strong, sturdy moving boxes. Moving boxes have a seal on
the bottom that gives their strength and capacity. That
seal will indicate a weight limit and an "Edge Crush Test"
rating. 32ect is standard for most moving boxes. 44ect is
standard for most wardrobe boxes and larger specialty boxes.
Use heavy-duty packing tape (not masking tape) for the boxes
as well as for taping things together (like broom handles).
Packing Techniques Pack one room at a time, labeling each moving box with
a description of its contents and its destination (e.g.,
kitchen, bathroom). Be as specific as you can; it will make
unpacking that much easier. Keep the weight of your moving
boxes reasonable. If possible, put heavy items in small
moving boxes to make them easier to carry. Don't apply tape
directly to polished or painted wood finishes. Removing
the tape could ruin the surface. Double-box fragile items
and add plenty of cushioning. When everything is packed
and ready to load, make sure the items you need least are
loaded first. Common sense is essential when loading the
truck. Place the moving box containing your best china on
top of the box of encyclopedias and not vice versa.
Prepare for the first night in your new home by packing
essential items in a separate bag and carrying it with you.
You may even want to prepare a simple meal that you can
heat and serve on your first night.
For each person in the household: a change of clothes, a
towel, prescription drugs, a toothbrush, and other personal
items.
For everyone: plastic utensils, paper plates, paper towels,
plastic cups, toilet paper, toiletries, trash bags, a flashlight,
first aid kit including pain relievers, pencil and paper,
snacks, beverages, and re-closable plastic bags. Small tool
kit for re-assembling items that couldn't be moved whole.
