Relocation to, from or within Phoenix should be enjoyable. After all, this is a big moment in our lives. But relocation tends to challenge and daunt us in ways that prevent us from savoring it. In order to avoid that, we need a plan, and more importantly, we have to follow through on that plan. If we start this process at least a month in advance and stick to it, then we’ll be able to accomplish everything in a gratifying, timely and even cost-effective manner.

The most vital phase of any moving plan is the pack. It’s also the stage of the process where people tend to procrastinate and work haphazardly. It’s not so surprising then that most relocation experiences are far more difficult and stressful than initially expected. The good news is that armed with time, the right packing supplies and a room-by-room plan, we can hit a home run that will set off a positive chain reaction throughout our efforts.
To accomplish this, we’ll need to dodge some of the most common pitfalls. A frequent mistake made by first-time movers is low-quality moving supplies, such as using discarded boxes from the local grocery store as packing boxes or worse, storage boxes. We understand why people do it. Moving is expensive. Faced with an ever-tightening budget, we all want to save wherever possible, and we assume that real moving boxes in Phoenix will be costly.
While professional-quality moving boxes in Phoenix can be quite expensive, they don’t necessarily have to be. In fact, from the wholesalers, cartons are rather inexpensive, but by the time they get to you through a small moving operation or a shop that specializes in boxes, there’s been markup at least several times. To avoid this, you want to go straight to the source and you want to buy in bulk, at which point you could be paying pennies on the retail dollar.
Nevertheless, most people don’t have access to wholesale-priced moving boxes in Phoenix, and the notion of buying in bulk for a product they may never need again simply isn’t practical. That’s where we come in. We’re like a wholesaler of moving boxes in Phoenix and nearby areas except we cut out the middlemen, and since we ship directly, we’re able to avoid a lot of overhead, which allows selling at bulk prices even when selling just one box.
Using these moving boxes from Phoenix gives you the freedom and the flexibility to pull off the perfect pack. This isn’t just hyperbole. You’ll be amazed at just how easy it is to plan and execute a pack when you’re working with materials specifically configured for the task. Consider a closet full of business suits. Picture yourself packing them into a traditional box. Now, imagine using wardrobe boxes designed to keep them hanging and moisture free.
Now, be prepared to make some choices. If this is your first time buying moving cartons, then you’ll likely be surprised at just how many variations of them there are. Basic, all-purpose moving boxes in the Phoenix area are generally 3 cubic feet, although you might find them as large as 4 cubic feet. These cartons are perfect for kitchen utensils, pots and pans, toys, small electronics, a large number of knickknacks, lampshades, bedding and so forth.
When packing, perhaps the worst thing you can do is make a box too heavy because this slows the process down every step of the way. For instance, you wouldn’t want to take the standard carton and fill it to the brim with books because it would become unmanageable. This is what the 1.5-2 cu. ft. book box is for, and despite its name, it’s perfect for a lot more than books, such as canned goods, small appliances, hand and power tools, and so forth.
There are also a number of specialized moving cartons. Earlier we mentioned wardrobe boxes, but the most popular are dish packs, also called china barrel or dish barrel cartons. These cartons are double-walled for extra stability and protection, which makes them well suited for transporting and storing antiques and fragile items. Dish packs generally come with an optional cell kit, sometimes sold separately, for organizing the glasses and dishes.
