Moving means new opportunities, and that’s exciting. But moving also means a lot of work, and relocation can often become a great burden, physically, emotionally and financially. The key to avoiding that hardship is to have a budget and a plan in place, and then to execute it. A key feature of that plan should be professional-grade packing supplies, but unfortunately, that’s one of the first things to go when most Seattle residents sit down to build their budget.

So what is it about bubble wrap, packing paper and moving boxes that make Seattle residents go cheap, as in low quality? Well, for one, first-timers just don’t appreciate the true value of quality moving materials. For other, people just can’t resist the allure of those “free” boxes available down at the local grocery store. After all, if I can box all of my belongings for free, why should I “throw my money away” on pay-for cartons?
When it comes to moving boxes in Seattle, this is one of the main stumbling blocks. The truth is that these boxes aren’t the same. Shipping boxes used by the grocery are made as cheaply as possible. They’re made to last just one trip, and they’re shipped and stored in high-moisture environments, either very humid or very cold. By the time you claim that box, it’s ready to fold, and it’s likely to crush or sweat during the trip to your new home.
Another stumbling block for first-timers is that they expect moving boxes in Seattle to be expensive. The truth is they’re not, at least if you know where to shop for them. Sure, if you settle for the local vendor in any of Seattle, Washington’s great neighborhoods, such as Crown Hill, Ballard or Blue Ridge, you’re probably going to overpay for your supplies. The small shops have high overhead and limited stock, and they have to deal with high shipping costs and excessive markup.
For moving boxes in Seattle, movingdayboxes.com is a much better choice because we don’t have to deal with those price increasers. We have almost no overhead, and our shipping costs are limited to just what it cost us to ship from the manufacturer to your front door. We accomplish all of this by shipping direct. What that means is that when you order, we actually make the order right then and there, and then ship it out to you.
The other great advantage movingdayboxes.com has over your local vendor is selection. Vendors who sell moving boxes in Seattle have limited capacity, so they have to carry what sells best. Typically, they’ll have many standard (4.5 cu. ft.) boxes but very little else. By direct shipping, we can support a comprehensive product portfolio, and even if we only sell one box of a particular type all year, that sale is still profitable for us.
Another advantage is custom ordering. If you custom order moving boxes in Seattle locally, there is going to be a significant surcharge and a significant delay while you wait for them to make the box and then ship it to your local store. With movingdayboxes.com, we can accept a custom order and ship it out with a conventional order with no added time at all and often no added cost too.
Earlier we mentioned the standard 4.5 cu. ft. boxes. They’re “standard” because 4.5 is the perfect all-purpose size. However, our preconfigured selection ranges all the way from 1.5 to 6.0 cu. ft. The 1.5 boxes are excellent book cartons and at the small end of the range of boxes for heavy electronics. The 6.0s are jumbos. They’re the perfect choice for packing pillows, blankets, lightweight toys, Christmas ornaments and so forth.
Movingdayboxes.com also has a full range of specialty moving boxes for Seattle moves. Lamp boxes are perfect for moving lamps along with their lampshades, and sport/utility boxes are the perfect choice for golf clubs, baseball bats, hockey sticks and even garden tools. Mattress boxes are the best way to move your mattress and box spring while ensuring that they stay dust free and the springs don’t bend.
Perhaps the most popular specialty boxes are china barrel cartons, also called dish packs. The standard dish pack moving boxes in Seattle are 4.5 cu. ft. and have inserts that keep glasses and dishware safe. These boxes are also quite flexible since the insert is removable. Remove the insert and you have a standard moving carton, and add an insert to turn a standard box into a china barrel carton.
