Lowes Moving Boxes

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 That Darn Smiley Face

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Moving boxes WalmartAnyone 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 were 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!

Do U Haul Boxes Fit Your Moving Strategy?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

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.

Penske Moving Boxes

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, Penske 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.  Penkse 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!

NYC Moving Boxes

NYC Moving Boxes

Big City Moving Day

I don’t know about you, but that may be one of the most stressful four-word combinations I can think of.  Any moving day can have its pitfalls, but adding on the additional worries of a big city like New York can ramp up the pressure.  On the plus side, the city does provide a wider range of vendors of moving goods and services.  Movers, rental vans, and self-storage options are plentiful.  Moving box vendors also seem to be a dime a dozen, with almost too many to choose from.  How can you be sure you’re getting the best deal on high quality NYC moving boxes and services?  Reading the helpful guide below would be a great start:

Truth and Accuracy

Your first step for finding a reliable and realistic price from moving companies is to weed out the offers that are too good to be true.  The more moving companies you contact regarding moving quotes, the easier it will be to spot those that are dramatically lower for the same services.  Too many people have been burned by these companies for you to trust your belongings to their shady dealings.  Your strongest defense against a bad moving company experience is presenting a complete and accurate account of your moving needs and obtaining price quotes from several moving companies.

The Power of Options

Whether it’s moving companies or moving boxes and supplies, you will quickly find that the big city gives you more options than you ever knew you had.  While this will further help you to nail down the best price, it will also likely present you with a wide range of quality and reliability, particularly in moving boxes.  Moving boxes are rated with an “edge crush test” or ECT, printed clearly on the side of each box.  Much like any other city, you will likely find NYC moving boxes range from used and abused to minimum industry standard.

Thankfully, Moving Day Boxes offers high quality moving boxes stronger than the industry standard at unbeatable prices.  And, with free shipping in 1-3 business days, you may even be able to beat the convenience of the big city.

Cheapest Way To Send Boxes When Moving

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.

Where Can I Buy Moving Boxes In My Area?

moving-boxes-extra-large

You are no doubt looking for the best deal you can get on moving boxes. When you started planning this move, you may not have realized how much it would cost. At this point, you might be willing to do a little scouting around to find the best deal you can on moving boxes. Sounds like a great plan. There are certainly quite a few retailers out there to check out. You could end up putting in quite a bit of legwork to track down the best price. Hopefully, you are just as likely to continue reading and find all the answers you need right here.

Before we talk price, let’s talk about another factor you may not have yet consider during your deal hunting. Durability will be a significant factor in your moving boxes, even if price is your main priority. Just as the prices you see out there are likely to run the gamut, so are the quality and durability of the various moving boxes available.  Here’s a quick ranking of what you are likely to find out there on the durability front:

  1. Reputable online retailer
  2. Moving company
  3. Local department store
  4. Grocery store dumpster

Next up, let’s talk about convenience (don’t worry, price talk is coming up next).  Convenience can be another major factor, particularly if your move is coming up soon.  You also probably don’t want to have to make trip after trip to get all your moving boxes.  Here is a breakdown on convenience:

  1. Reputable online retailer
  2. Moving company
  3. Local department store
  4. Grocery store dumpster

Ok, finally we’ll talk price.  If this is your one and only priority, then you may want to focus solely on this last list.  Price breakdown is as follows:

  1. Grocery store dumpster
  2. Reputable online retailer
  3. Local department store
  4. Moving company

If you are willing to disregard the bugs, rodents, stains, etc. to make multiple dumpster-diving trips to the grocery store for your moving boxes, then have at it.  Otherwise, take another look at these lists and consider the moving box source the consistently ranks at the top for durability, convenience, and price.  Moving Day Boxes is a reputable online retailer known as much for their customer satisfaction as for their high quality but cheap moving boxes and moving supplies.  You will quickly find that other sources cannot compete with their prices and may not even get your moving boxes to you with free shipping and 3-day delivery.

Where To Find Free Moving Boxes

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

free

Free moving boxes often seem like the holy grail to those planning a big move.  With all the various costs and headaches associated with the typical move, it can be tempting to throw caution to the wind and snatch up any free moving boxes you can find.  Before running around town to the local dumpsters and loading docks, at least take a moment for the rational thoughts that so quickly disappear for all of us at the mention of the word “free.”

Consider this.  If a moving company offered to transport your boxes for free, wouldn’t you be a bit suspicious?  And if your realtor had offered to list your current house for free, wouldn’t you have responded with a healthy dose of skepticism.  It is only natural when hearing offers like these to wonder, “What’s the catch?”  And yet, free moving boxes are often looked upon as a fantastic deal, no questions asked.  Many people have gotten burned by free moving boxes simply because they were not discerning with one of the most important elements of their entire move.  Free moving boxes are used, meaning they are likely to be suffering from edge creases, crushed corners, stains, and worse.  All of these can weaken moving boxes or leave your items at high risk of damage.  Taking these factors into account may help bring the answer to the question, “what’s the catch” into focus.

If you are not willing to risk your items to potentially damaged or stained free moving boxes, take a moment to check out the fantastic selection of packing supplies and moving supplies from Moving Day Boxes.  They are a reputable online retailer offering free shipping and 3-day delivery on a product line whose quality simply cannot be beat.  Your rational mind wants you to save money while protecting your items with high quality moving boxes and moving supplies from Moving Day Boxes.

Where Can I Get Cheap Boxes for Moving?

Everyone loves a great deal.  What’s the best deal you can find?  How about free?

Need some cheap boxes for moving?  How about free moving boxes?  Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?  Believe it or not, perfectly calm and rational people can be whipped into a frenzy at the very thought of cheap boxes for moving.  Makes those boxes free and it may be difficult to conceal their unbridled excitement.  One of the most popular sources for free moving boxes?  The local grocery store or department store dumpster.  I know it sounds iffy, but you may find yourself restorting to such desperate measures during your next move as well.

At some point in their lives, everyone has probably come face-to-face with the truth of the phrase “buyer beware.”  As it turns out, wariness should increase greatly when looking for a cheap or free deal, especially when it comes to moving boxes.  The fact of the matter is, cardboard dumpsters are notorious for housing insects, rodents, and other critters that do not belong in your home or amongst your boxed-up possessions.  Even those that are critter-free are likely to be stained or damaged in some way.  This can weaken a moving box or put your items at risk of soiling during your move.

Now, if you’re the type of person to keep a level-head while bargain shopping, then you will want to check out some of the fantastic deals on cheap boxes for moving through a reputable online retailer.  Moving Day Boxes has a fantastic reputation for providing high quality packing boxes and moving supplies at unbeatable prices.

Leave the bugs and the stains to the rest of the crowd and get on your way to saving big on some cheap moving boxes TODAY!
