Another in a series of Quick Moving Guide Tips!!
Moving Boxes are essential moving tools.
- Moving–apple boxes are useful–they have a lid so you don’t have to tape. Be aware that they may have weaknesses and flaws from leakage – if your items are heavy or delicate, professional moving boxes are a better choice.
- Check with your local pharmacy for boxes. The boxes the vials come in are a useful size for books and most other things. They often have boxes for small vials divided for glass bottles (you can pack your glasses in there, and smaller knick-knacks).
- We broke down our boxes, stored them flat on the porch (in order of size), out of the way – ran a free ad in the local shopper and sold the whole batch for $50. Keep in mind that they will not stay strong too long – especially in cold or damp areas.
- While you are bust packing or unpacking, keep the kids occupied by making a “fort” out of one of the bigger size wardrobe or kitchen boxes. The kids will thank you and you’ll have time to unpack, uninterrupted.
- Boxes at bookstores are a good option. They are usually small or medium sized boxes and are easy to carry when packed. Books are heavy and require a heavier and smaller box. Obviously, bookstores are a decent location to find used ones.
- Banana boxes from your grocery store are good options as well. . They are a good size, the top fits down completely over the bottom and they have handles!
