Lowes moving boxes

Lowes has a clever new commercial in which their sign keeps appearing to have the letter “T” added to the end of it.  This signifies their assertion of the lowest price around for the types of items you would shop for at Lowes.  Many items are available at Lowes, moving boxes included.  Let’s take a moment to examine the word “lowest” in regard to the typical moving boxes found at department stores…

1. Strength

At department stores like Lowes, moving boxes are sold that meet the industry standard for strength.  The minimum industry standard.  This standard has been determined to have sufficient strength to hold up to the typical move.  Of course, all other things being equal, I would rather have boxes that are even stronger, wouldn’t you?  These are your valuables we are talking about here, you will want to be sure to protect them during your move.

2. Selection

When you peruse the moving box and moving supply selection at a typical department store, you are likely to find most of what you might need.  You can find a few moving boxes, a couple types of tape, and maybe even some bubble wrap if you’re lucky.  But, to get enough for your whole move, you’ll likely have to make several return visits or check other stores.  And what if you need packing paper or mattress covers?  Department stores offer a wide variety of items, but often a fairly low stock in many areas, including moving boxes and supplies.

3. Price

You’re probably thinking this is the area that the department store has to win, right?  I mean, these are huge corporations that know how to buy smart and get a great deal for their shoppers.  Believe it or not, department stores can be among the most pricey vendors of moving boxes.  This is often a factor of the low stock issue mentioned above.  These vendors cannot buy moving boxes and moving supplies in bulk, thereby limiting their buying power with the manufacturers.  Lowes moving boxes and those at similar retailers are therefore not likely to be lowest in price.

Fed up with the department store idea yet?  Have no fear, Moving Day Boxes is here to save your mood and your move.  Once you check out the strength of their moving boxes (higher than industry standard) and the convenience of their massive selection (1-3 day free shipping on all orders), you won’t have a care in the world.  But what about price?  Moving Day Boxes is guaranteed to have the lowest price on moving boxes thanks to their one-of-a-kind double the difference price guarantee.

Moving Boxes, Walmart, and Getting the Most for your Money

Moving boxes Walmart

Anyone who’s watched TV in the last five years probably remembers those Walmart commercials featuring the smiley face bouncing around, lowering prices.  There’s no question that Walmart can be a great place to score a deal on lots of different items.  And as long as you’re there, you may as well check out their selection of moving boxes for your upcoming move.  But, before you throw those boxes into your cart, take a moment to think if that decision will really leave you with a smile on your face…

Convenience

Being able to find toothpaste and moving boxes at the same store sure shouts convenience to me.  And there’s a good chance you wouldn’t be able to find a better price on that toothpaste no matter how long you looked.  But how about those moving boxes?  How many do I need?  Am I ok with only taking the few on the shelf and coming back for more many times over the next few weeks?  Next time you’re shopping, take a look at the moving boxes Walmart has in stock and see if these questions don’t pop up in your mind.  Perhaps buying moving boxes from a department store is not so convenient after all.

Price

When you look at the price tag for those couple of moving boxes, you probably won’t be shocked.  I mean, who even knows how much moving boxes are supposed to cost?  And this is Walmart, right?  Everything is cheap here.  Actually, retailers that do not specialize in certain products often cannot offer them at a competitive price.  Of course, for many people, the convenience factor often outweighs the extra cost.  But, if you knew how much you may be overpaying for those moving boxes Walmart would be your last choice.

The best of both worlds

So now what?  The boxes you thought were a great deal are neither convenient nor the best price.  Fortunately, Moving Day Boxes offers a huge selection of moving boxes and moving supplies at a price that cannot be beat.  No, seriously, if you find a lower price, Moving Day Boxes will take double the difference off their price.  Not only that, but their moving boxes will arrive on your door step with free shipping in 1-3 business days.

Convenient and priced right.  Get your unbeatable moving day deal TODAY!

U Haul moving boxes

Every consumer has a multitude of moving box suppliers available to them.  Choosing the right retailer can be difficult.  Several retailers offer true moving boxes that at least meet industry standard for strength, but who has the best price?  The easiest vendor will likely be your moving company or van rental company.  But do U Haul boxes or those from similar businesses really fit into your moving strategy?

(Bonus moving tip: Do not move like the men in the picture, unless you enjoy pulled muscles and broken valuables.)

The impulse buy

It seems so convenient, doesn’t it?  You walk into the van rental office and you see displays of moving boxes, moving supplies, other rental equipment, etc.  The price of these items can’t be that outlandish compared to other retailers, right?  Take a moment to think about a typical shopping trip to the department store.  You know that rack of items they have next to you while you wait at the checkout?  They’re just hoping you grab a few things off that rack without thinking and pay whatever price they have listed.  Sound anything like the trip to the moving company office?

Your moving strategy

If you’re like most folks, you’ve probably taken some time to develop a few cost-cutting approaches to your move.  Maybe you’ve unloaded a bunch of unneeded items at the local Goodwill or you’ve called a bunch of friends to move your stuff for free.  No matter what you’ve done up to this point, don’t ruin your shrewd money-saving methods.  One “little” impulse buy of U Haul boxes and moving supplies could more than counteract any money you’ve saved up to this point.

Instead, take a look at the wide range of moving boxes and moving supplies offered by Moving Day Boxes.  They have a fantastic reputation and offer free shipping on all orders.  And if you do somehow manage to track down a better price (good luck with that), they offer a double the difference price guarantee.  Now that sounds like a smooth fit to anyone’s moving strategy.

Moving Boxes and Rental Trucks

moving-van

So the big move is coming up and you figure you’ve got just about everything figured out.  You’ve rented a moving van, you’ve held a garage sale to get rid of unwanted items, you’ve even called up grandma and grandpa to watch the kids on moving day.  But how about moving boxes?  You probably figure you can just buy those from the moving van company.  They should offer a pretty good price on moving boxes and supplies since they want to draw in the rental business, right?  WRONG!

Believe it or not, movers and van rental locations often have some of the highest prices on moving boxes.  Like any other similar company, rental truck moving boxes are usually only slightly cheaper than those available at department stores.  Anyone who’s seen department store prices on moving boxes knows that’s not much of a bargain.  These companies probably figure you’ll be buying moving boxes at the last minute and won’t take the time to research the best price.  But, if you take the time to look into all your options, you can tell the rental guys…WRONG!

The savvy consumer is willing to consider all venues for their moving box needs.  rental truck moving boxes and those offered by other moving companies are certainly durable for the average move, but that’s no excuse to jack up the prices.  This is especially true when you can easily locate affordable moving boxes that test stronger than the industry standard and can be on your doorstep in 1-3 business days.  Of course, this should all be available to you, along with free shipping and an unbeatable best price guarantee, right?  RIGHT!

Long-distance moves can come with their own added set of stress and worries.  Between finding a new house or apartment in a faraway city and lining everything up with your new job or school, the actual move can be the last thing you want to deal with.  One simple and cost-effective approach to simplifying your moving day is to ship some of your boxes ahead of you.  Keep in mind that any boxes you use must be strong enough to withstand not only a typical move, but also the added bumps and jostles of shipment.

Shipping companies are plentiful and their prices and customer satisfaction range widely.  It can be difficult to track down the right fit for you in your area without extensive legwork.  Simplifying this entire process are helpful websites such as uShip.com, which allow you to post the items in need of shipment, then pick between various competing bids.  This allows you to be choosy on price, reputation, etc.  In the service industry, referrals are key, so be sure to scrutinize your various bidders before choosing the right fit for you.

Above all else, you must be certain to safely package all of your items prior to shipment.  Neglecting to use high quality moving supplies can leave you distraught after your move, regardless of which shipping company you select.  Moving Day Boxes can provide you with a full line of moving supplies to send boxes when moving, including bubble wrap, packing paper, and durable packing tape.  You don’t have to arrive at your new home to find your possessions in shambles.  Use high quality moving supplies to protect your valuables and have yourself a fantastic move.

Moving Boxes – Sizing Up Your Moving Needs

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

moving-boxes-sizecompare

Everyone knows that moving boxes are the number one supply for any big move.  But, with the wide variety of sizes and types available, it may be difficult to figure out your particular needs.  The moving boxes you choose and your moving strategy will largely depend on the types of items you plan to move.

Given the amount of time and energy it takes to box up even a small house or apartment, a typical temptation is to load up as few boxes as possible, supposedly saving yourself time during packing and unpacking.  This approach invariably results in several large, very heavy moving boxes.  Nothing says pulled muscles or strained backs like a pile of heavy and cumbersome boxes.  Save yourself and your movers a lot of strain by focusing on filling several medium and small boxes.  You will certainly save energy and likely will not spend any more time packing and unpacking these smaller boxes. Once you have your boxes, you may be wondering how to segregate your items based on moving box size.  The smallest boxes you have will be best for some of your heavier items.  These could include books, kitchenware, household items, etc.  The next size up is perfect for items like pillows, lamps, plants, computer equipment, etc.  Any of your largest boxes should be reserved for lightweight items like comforters, blankets, clothes, etc.

Above all else, pack your items in a way that keeps you and your movers comfortable and safe.  Use your large moving boxes for your lightest items and your smaller moving boxes for a manageable quantity of your heavier items.  And don’t forget to visit Moving Day Boxes to grab some cheap moving boxes that are available in several sizes and can stand up to the strain of your next big move.

Be sure to select a reputable and responsible moving team (even if you’re just recruiting a bunch of relatives or friends to help). The next step is to clearly label every single moving box containing fragile items.
