Moving Boxes and Moving Supplies

There’s no doubt that the clutter monster can take control of anyone nowadays.  You may be busier than ever with a new job, new house, new kid, or maybe you’re just now finally realizing all the trinkets and clutter that have built up over the years.  The bottom line is, hope is not lost.  There are several options out there to help you de-clutter your house, apartment, or even office, with convenience and affordability.

First things first, take a complete stock of the items in question and determine what you can live with having packed away for awhile (or even shipped off to the local Goodwill or Salvation Army).  Next, track down some affordable and durable moving boxes to store your extra items in.  For the sake of your items’ safety and your own sanity after periods of long-term storage, be sure to select high quality moving boxes and the proper moving supplies to protect your belongings.  Depending on the size of your items and the total amount of clutter you need to hide away, you may need moving boxes in a variety of sizes to suit your needs.  Do not skimp on the quality, number, or size of moving boxes, as you may come to regret any corner-cutting when you get a look at your items after long-term storage.

Moving Day Boxes is a trusted online retailer of cheap moving boxes and moving supplies.  They provide moving boxes in a full range of sizes to meet your specific storage needs.  They also offer protective items such as bubble wrap, packing paper, and edge protectors.  Let Moving Day Boxes help you ward off the clutter monster and return a feeling of organization to your home, apartment, or office.

P.S.  Don’t forget to check for clutter monsters in the closet (wardrobe moving boxes to the rescue).

Most of us have plenty of positive memories of the time in our lives when we moved into our first apartment or college dorm.  Chances are, when we think back to our moving strategies at that time, the memories are slightly less positive.  At the time, it may have seemed like a perfectly logical approach to load up garbage bags with clothes or go dumpster diving at the local grocery store for free boxes.  Maturity of moving approach seems to be directly related to the cost of the items being moved, meaning you are probably looking to refine your strategy for your next big move.  Fortunately, just because you’ve grown up doesn’t mean you have to outgrow your love of a great deal.

Moving Day Boxes offers a full line of moving boxes and moving supplies to match your new moving style without hurting your budget.  You haven’t seen a deal like this since you mooched off mom and dad for free weekend laundry.  These cheap moving boxes are brand new and test stronger than the industry standard.  Moving supplies like bubble wrap, edge protectors, and packing paper also go a long way toward keeping your valuables safe and sound.

Put away those garbage bags and cancel that trip to the back of the grocery store.  Let Moving Day Boxes help you refine your moving strategy, allowing you to one day look back fondly on this move without memories of broken valuables or a strained budget.

There are several steps we can take during the moving process to ensure the safety of our valuables. Using strong moving boxes, clearly labelling all boxes containing fragile items, and hiring a reputable moving company all go a long way to protect your valuables. Oddly enough, most people stop short, however, when it comes to protecting their items within their moving boxes. Anyone who has attempted to safely move their dishes or other fragile items knows that the slightest jostle of a moving box or bump in the road can leave unprotected breakables in pieces. Rather than arriving at your new home to find your valuables broken apart, consider taking a few minutes and protecting such items with strong and relatively cheap bubble wrap.

Packing materials like bubble wrap can provide your items support in two important ways.  First, bubble wrap can provide a cushion between individual items, reducing the likelihood of breakage during jostling.  Bubble wrap can also help fill out a moving box, removing any open space a keeping items snug within the box.  This will help to further reduce shifting of items and the potential for broken valuables.

You have done so much to help protect your valuables during your move.  Don’t stop short of properly protecting your items within your moving boxes.  A little bubble wrap goes a long way (and the giant 1″x80″ roll from Moving Day Boxes goes even further), so grab some and make sure your valuables are kept safe during your next big move.

No one can debate that moving can be a stressful and worrisome experience.  Any of us who have moved a couple of times in the last few years may not look back too favorably on our most recent moving days.  A frustrating moving day is a pretty bad foot to start out on when you should be excited about relocating to your new home.  Unfortunately, there are a few common moving mistakes we all tend to make that only serve to increase any stress we may be feeling that day.  Check out the moving tips below and don’t let some simple miscues dampen your enthusiasm for your new home.

 1. Not looking before you leap It is likely that all of us have given in to the impulse to dive right into a big move without properly thinking things through.  A little bit of pre-planning can go a long way on moving day.  Consider developing a master list of all your moving boxes so you can easily track down each box and its contents upon arrival.  Also important is to clearly label the contents and room destination for every box.  There’s nothing worse than finally arriving, unpacking, then having to dig through several boxes to find something you need.

2. Biting off more than you can chew (or carry) Often, the temptation to fill a minimum number of moving boxes wins out on moving day.  Unfortunately, jamming full a smaller number of large moving boxes often results in at least discomfort, if not serious injury or breaking of fragile items.  Using a greater number of medium moving boxes reduces these risks while affording you more organization options when loading the boxes into your vehicle.  Arriving at your new home with a pile of broken items or a back injury is sure to put a damper on your relocation.

 3. Time flies during your move We all have a tendency to underestimate the time required to pack up all our belongings and make the move to our new home.  At best, this will leave your moving crew or friends with nothing to do while you scramble to fill more moving boxes.  At worst, you may end up returning to work without having fully completed your move.  As a general rule of thumb, it is a good idea to double your estimated moving time.  You can also maximize your time on moving day by hiring a babysitter or calling a friend to watch your children and/or pets while you pack up your items and relocate. Check out Moving Day Boxes’ Moving Countdown Checklist and Packing Tips for these and other great moving tips. You can further reduce the stress and worry of moving day by grabbing some affordable and durable moving boxes and moving supplies from Moving Day Boxes.

Moving to a new house or apartment can be an expensive and stressful experience, especially in a troubled economy like today’s. If you have a move coming up, you are probably looking to cut costs wherever possible and relieve some of the financial sting of your relocation. You may be questioning why anyone would ever pay for moving boxes when the grocery store will gladly let you take their used boxes for free. The poor quality and suspect strength of these boxes, however, could very well result in you having to replace expensive valuables that break during your move.

“I am 68K P9 stationed in Natick, MA. I work for the  Military Nutrition Division. Relocating a family is time consuming and tedious. Receiving these free boxes from Movingdayboxes.com is big for us because that’s one less thing we have to worry about. We can now focus our attention on other things pertaining to our move. Thank you for all you are doing.”

Earth Day was April 22nd and events have been going on all week as people come together to show their support for going Green and saving and preserving our Earth for the generations to come.

We here at Moving Day Boxes wholeheartedly support the Green Movement.

Our moving boxes are 100% recyclable. Cardboard is the single largest component of your average city’s landfill and reducing the amount of cardboard headed for the dump is an important part minimizing the negative impact our lifestyles have on the earth. As our landfills continue to become more unmanageable every year, we can begin to see how each individual’s effort to recycle is affecting our earth. (For an inside peek at cardboard recycling visit our recycling page.)

Our moving boxes are also 100% biodegradable and can even be used to make a bed for your garden (more information about that at http://www.movingdayboxes.com right next to the Recyclable and Biodegradable symbol).

I think we all know what it’s like at times to be a bit overwhelmed with the demands of our modern lives, but it’s worth considering how you can be your own recycling center and save money, too! Try not to be on automatic when you’re discarding items in the trash and ask yourself how else you could put them to good use at home or at work. With a little ingenuity you can use items that would have gone in the trash to solve problems that you would have had to throw money at otherwise.

Here’s a few ideas for re-using your moving boxes after you’re done with them just to get you started:

Large moving boxes can become an incredibly fertile playground for young children. They’re lightweight to carry and it’s fairly easy to change their shape and size. With a little imagination they could become a fort in the old west, a fairytale castle or a deep space station on Mars.

They can be broken down and opened up to make great flooring for messy projects, whether it’s an arts and craft projects for the kids or changing the oil out in the garage.

They can become the bone structure for an arts and craft project themselves. Turn them into frames for photos, doll houses, dog houses or Halloween costumes.

And they always simply make a great way to carry things.

I keep hearing that Earth Day should be everyday, and I do think that’s the real test for going Green. It’s important that the commitment be a daily one and that our annual Earth Day serve merely as a reminder to step it up and try even harder.

Here’s to a greener tomorrow!
