Moving Boxes – The Importance of Trust

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Moving Boxes

During your next big move, there are quite a few people and things you will have to be willing to put your trust in.  Maybe you will have to trust the moving company to show up on time.  Or maybe you will have to trust your husband that he wrapped up the dishes safely.  You may even have to trust your belief that your leisure suit will soon be back in style and is worth taking along.  One thing you should have no problem putting your trust in is your moving boxes, provided you take the time to select high quality, durable moving boxes.

It is no secret that moving boxes come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes.  What may come as a surprise is that not all moving boxes are created equal in strength and durability.  Many people are tempted to simply use used boxes from the local grocery store.  Many of these same people are disappointed to find that the strength of these boxes was insufficient to protect their valuables or fragile items.  On the day of your move, you don’t want to be carefully watching each box as it goes out, waiting for the bottom to drop out or the sides to cave in.  Selecting cheap moving boxes with the strength to hold up to your move is one of the most inexpensive and simple ways to protect your items and relieve some of your moving day stress.

Moving Day Boxes offers a full line of moving boxes and moving supplies for your next big move.  These moving boxes test stronger than the industry standard and come at a price you simply will not find anywhere else.  Not only do they offer moving boxes with strength and durability you can trust, but Moving Day Boxes is a trusted online retailer with a 99% customer recommendation rating.  Trust yourself to score a great deal while protecting your valuables during your next move by visiting MovingDayBoxes.com.

Moving Boxes – Sizing Up Your Moving Needs

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.

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.

Moving Boxes – Three Big Moving Mistakes

Monday, June 1st, 2009

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 Boxes – Wardrobe Boxes as Mobile Closets

Just when you thought you had packed away all your heavy or cumbersome items, you cracked open that closet and finally remembered how much clothes you’ve accumulated over the years. You will probably find that your hanging clothes quickly take up most of the space in your regular moving boxes, leaving little room for the rest of your belongings. You also cannot simply pile them on the back seat of your car, unless you enjoy discovering a disheveled pile of rumpled clothes at the end of your journey.

Fortunately, you do have the option to efficiently and cleanly store your hanging clothes for transport or long-term storage. Wardrobe boxes from Moving Day Boxes are specifically designed for the transfer and storage of hanging clothes and other closet items. The sturdy metal bar within each wardrobe box makes moving all those clothes easy as could be. The double strength of the boxes gives the option of long-term clothing storage. With a three-box set of wardrobe boxes from Moving Day Boxes, you can easily transport all your hanging clothes and use the boxes over and over for storage of seasonal clothes. The options are practically as endless as the strength of the boxes.
