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!

Where Can I Buy Boxes for Moving?

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

money

Boxes for moving are available for purchase from a variety of people and companies.  Some are more convenient, while others offer a better price.  Some are one-time sales, and others are well-known retailers with a track record.  Whatever your priorities, finding boxes for moving will likely be one of the quickest steps of your entire move.  Finding the right moving boxes, however, can take a little bit longer.

Let’s address convenience first.  If you’re using a moving company, they will likely ask if you need to buy boxes for moving.  They typically offer a wide range of moving boxes and moving supplies.  They may even have these items on display at their office or vehicle pick-up location.  While the convenience of this approach may be tough to beat, the price will not be.  Many people report a mixture of shock and disbelief when glancing over the price tags for moving boxes through their moving company.  But, depending on your priorities, the convenience may be a winning attribute.

Other sources are less convenient but perhaps more affordable.  After completing their move, many people have little interest in keeping their moving boxes.  They will offer their moving boxes for sale on popular sites such as Craigslist.  Provided such a person exists in your area, this approach may be more affordable, and only slightly less convenient than going through your moving company.  It is important to note, however, that these boxes have been used.  You will want to carefully check over every box for any edge creasing or crushed corners, as these greatly diminish a box’s strength.

If you are the type of discerning shopper who wants the best of both worlds, consider purchasing your moving boxes through a trusted online retailer.  Through Moving Day Boxes you can buy boxes for moving that test stronger than the industry standard and are available at a price that you will not find elsewhere.  Moving Day Boxes offers a full line of moving boxes and moving supplies that can be at your door in three days with free shipping (convenience, anyone?).

Get your move off to an affordable and convenient first step with Moving Day Boxes TODAY!

Moving Boxes - Covering All the Bases

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Moving Boxes

If you have ever used moving boxes before, you know there seems to always be a give and take in several different factors. Some boxes are cheap (or free), but they are weak and sag under even moderate loads. Other boxes are strong but cost an arm and a leg. Still others strong and inexpensive, but are inconvenient for moving due to very large size or awkward shape. It can seem nearly impossible to cover all the bases of variety, strength, and price.

We have discussed in previous posts the importance of protecting your valuables during your move.  But, if safety was your only concern, then you would happily pay the outlandish prices charged by your moving company for their moving boxes.  We have also touched on moving on a budget.  But, if getting a cheap price was your only priority, then you wouldn’t be that concerned when your valuables fell through the bottom of your used and abused discount moving boxes.  Fortunately, you don’t have to settle for high prices or suspect quality in your moving boxes.

Moving Day Boxes offers a full line of strong and durable moving boxes for your next move.  These moving boxes are brand new, unprinted, American made and come in a wide variety of sizes and functions to fit your move.  Looking to move a lot of small, heavy items?  Try out some of our medium sized moving boxes.  Maybe you’re transporting a few loads of blankets and pillows.  Go ahead a load up a couple of extra large moving boxes.  Your mirrors and framed art will be plenty safe in our frame moving boxes.  Stop by MovingDayBoxes.com and be sure to check out the wide variety of protective moving supplies as well.

Don’t feel like compromising on the strength or quality of your moving boxes?  Neither do we.  Check out our moving boxes and let us prove it to you.

Moving Supplies

Your moving day is carefully planned.  You’ve labelled all your moving boxes, you’ve repeatedly instructed your friends to be careful with certain boxes and items, you’ve even refused to let anyone else drive the van, for fear they would hit bumps too fast.  But did you take the time to pack your items carefully with the proper moving supplies to ensure their safety?

Many people are borderline obsessed with the safe handling of their moving boxes during their move.  Many of these same people, however, neglect to sufficiently protect their valuables within the boxes.  The fact is, even light bumps or jostles can damage fragile glassware, stoneware, etc.  And, ufortunately, balled up wads of newspaper simply do not cut it when it comes to protecting your important breakables.  Inexpensive and high quality moving supplies are available to help protect your items and give you piece of mind during your next big move.

Protective moving supplies such as bubble wrap and packing paper can play a huge role in keeping your breakable safe during transport.  Even moving supplies as simple as high quality packing tape can help strengthen your boxes and help them hold up to heavier items or loads.  Even items that don’t fit into traditional moving boxes can get a protective boost from the addition of moving blankets and edge protectors.

You have planned your move down to the last detail.  Don’t cut any corners on protecting your valuables.  Visit MovingDayBoxes.com for a full line of moving supplies to help keep your items safe.  Who knows, you might even feel safe enough to let someone else drive.

Packing Supplies - Look Before Your Leap

Moving Boxes

The day of your next big move may be quickly approaching.  Or maybe you feel like your are already behind on your packing.  Either way, there seems to be a strong temptation to pack things away as quickly as possible and simply get it over with.  While this approach may seem like a time saver, it can also lead to frustration due to the discovery of damaged or broken items during unpacking.  A little bit of careful planning can go a long way towards keeping your items safe and sound during your move.

After selecting quality moving boxes, your next important step will be to find the appropriate packing supplies for your particular items.  Large items that cannot be packed into moving boxes may require packing supplies such as moving blankets or pads.  These will help insulate your large items from any bumps or jolts from your moving boxes.  Smaller fragile items inside your moving boxes also need protection to prevent damage.  Even the lightest of bumps can damage glass, stoneware, and other delicate items.  Consider using inexpensive packing supplies such as bubble wrap or packing paper to cushion your breakables.

Your move will likely take a significant portion of your time and energy.  Don’t make it stressful by leaving the safety of your items to chance.  Visit Moving Day Boxes for a wide variety of packing supplies and moving boxes to fit your needs.  Take the time to protect what you have so you don’t end up spending time and money in the store replacing your broken items.

How Moving Boxes Could Have Saved Tokyo

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Moving Boxes

Who could forget the epic films of Godzilla stomping across Tokyo, destroying everything in its path?  These movies were entertaining and slightly ridiculous at the same time, though they certainly were not void of an important life lesson.  While the citizens of Tokyo may have seemed desperate and hopeless, a simple online order through Moving Day Boxes could have easily saved the day.

You may have asked yourself during the course of the various Godzilla films, “Why doesn’t everyone run instead of pointing at the monster and yelling?”  The fact is, the people of Tokyo had no way to quickly and easily move their belongings, meaning that running would abandon their valuables to the destructive tendencies of a building-sized reptile.  If only they had had the capacity to order moving boxes and moving supplies through Moving Day Boxes, their order would have arrived in plenty of time to get out of town and avert disaster.

Not only do orders from Moving Day Boxes arrive at your doorstep with monster-beating speed (1-3 business days), but free shipping on every order should help put a little extra spring in your step as you sprint out of town with your full moving boxes.  And, even if you do dilly-dally and the monster’s destructive path reaches your doorstep, moving boxes from Moving Day Boxes test stronger than the industry standard.  Let’s just say it’ll take more than a Godzilla-load of debris raining down to crush these moving boxes.

So, the next time you’re coming up on a big move, don’t give in to the temptation to cut corners with your moving boxes and moving supplies.  Remember the story of Tokyo and their claymation monster and set yourself up with high quality moving boxes at an affordable price.

*Please note:  While moving boxes offered by Moving Day Boxes are without a doubt ridiculously affordable and strong, Moving Day Boxes does not claim to offer protection against mutated reptiles should you encounter one in real life, especially those of the fire-breathing variety.
