Moving within, to or from Philadelphia and its surrounding areas can be a challenging experience. One of the keys to making it a smooth, and perhaps even enjoyable, process is to pack efficiently. A well-planned, well-executed pack will make everything else you do related to your relocation that much easier. In order to do that, you need professional-grade packing supplies. But who has the flexibility in their relocation budget for that? Surely moving boxes in Philadelphia are expensive. Aren’t they? Well, they can be, but it certainly doesn’t have to be that way.

Fearing high-cost moving boxes in Philadelphia, many people try to get by using discarded grocery cartons as packing boxes and even as storage boxes and that is a recipe for disaster. Even during short-distance moves, the weight of stacked cartons can buckle cheap moving boxes and crush contents. In storage scenarios, cheap moving supplies tend to hold moisture, and over time, this will compromise the box and then its contents. For this reason, high-quality moving supplies are vital, and they’re strong enough that you can even use them again in the future.
There’s still the issue of price, and if buying through a packing shop or a moving company, moving boxes in Philadelphia can be too expensive for most budgets. Interestingly, pro-grade cartons direct from the wholesalers are relatively inexpensive, but what happens is that these low prices rely on bulk sales. As resellers reduce, sell and resell orders, markup occurs, and by the time those moving boxes get to you, the prices are outrageous. It’s no wonder then that most people relocating eschew high-quality moving supplies and gamble on the cheap alternatives.
As a part of the relocation industry in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and other parts of the country for years, we recognized an opportunity. If we could get pro-grade moving boxes to Philadelphia movers by avoiding the intermediaries, we could save them a great deal of money and still be highly successful ourselves. We do this by shipping directly to the client. What this does is allow us to operate with significantly reduced overhead, and then we can turn that into savings for our customers, and still make more than the traditional box retailer does.Even professional moving companies use our our packing supplies. “I have been using Moving Day Boxes for years,” says Joe Fleming, a relocation consultant at Philadelphia Movers, “our clients love the convenience of the free next day delivery to Philadelphia.”
Once you’ve recognized that you can fit high-grade moving boxes into your Philadelphia relocation budget, it’s important to understand why it’s worth the trouble. Earlier, we mentioned protection, and our cartons are of the same grade and materials used by the big name antique dealers to ship their merchandise both domestically and internationally. Another important factor is ease of use. When packing with boxes from the grocery, it’s a lot like putting round pegs into square holes. With our boxes, you’re picking the perfect tool for this particular job.
The biggest issue will be planning your pack and assessing your needs. But don’t worry. If you have any questions, we can answer them, and if you have any uncertainties, we have experts on hand that can help assuage them. Once you’ve considered each room, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with the various types of cartons that we sell. Our portfolio runs the gamut, and you may be surprised at just how many variations there are. That’s so you can choose the carton that is precisely suited to the belongings that you need to transport or perhaps even store long-term.
Standard, all-purpose moving boxes in Philadelphia are about 3.0 cubic inches. Generally, you’ll use these for pots and pans, kitchen utensils, toys, all of a room’s small items, and so forth. The book box is approximately 1.5 cubic inches, and it’s perfect for books, CD collections, canned goods, small appliances and so forth. The reason we need this smaller box is that a 3-cubic-foot box filled with books is far too heavy to manage easily. On the other hand, if the items are light, we can get more mileage out of the oversized cartons, which are 4.5-6 cubic feet.
We also supply a wide array of task-specific moving cartons. The most popular of these special cartons is the dish pack, also called a china barrel. These cartons are double-walled, which makes them well suited to transporting fragile items and for long-term storage, and they have optional cell kits. Other popular specialty cartons include stand-up wardrobe boxes, mirror boxes, mattress boxes and even custom crates. Wardrobe boxes allow you to transport clothes so that they stay wrinkle-free and don’t require dry cleaning upon arrival.
Whether we do it once or we do it a dozen times, moving ranks among the most important events in our lives, and it’s vital that we make these events as enjoyable and efficient as possible. Our inexpensive, high-grade moving cartons will go a long way toward that goal. Don’t leave it to chance. Contact us, and let our experts help you make this the best relocation possible. We can have these moving boxes shipped directly to your door as soon as you need them. We welcome rush orders, bulk orders, and orders small and large from businesses and individuals alike.
