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

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.

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 Boxes – Packing With Bubble Wrap

Monday, June 8th, 2009

bubble wrap

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.

Moving Boxes – Three Big Moving Mistakes

Monday, June 1st, 2009

moving boxes

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.
