Many Local moving companies, long distance movers, or international movers require your goods to be packed into boxes of varying sizes before they show up.
A hint for those who are moving and are in need of moving boxes: You can now get most moving boxes at Lowe’s or Home Depot at the same price as local movers get them at cost. Some specialized cartons HAVE to be purchased from moving companies or box companies.
Believe me when I say, get plenty of cartons for your move. In many cases, consumers are going back to their local mover a second time to order more boxes. Here are some different types of boxes you will need for a move:
Small Cartons - 1.5 cubic feet.Medium Cartons - 3.0 cubic feet.Large Cartons - 4.5 cubic feet.Lamp Cartons - Tall cartons which hold tall standing lamps.Picture & Mirror Boxes - Usually come in two pieces and then have to be scoped together.Mattress Boxes - Most mattresses are fined just plastic wrapped but valuable ones should be boxed.Flat Screen TV Cartons - These are a MUST. If packed right, they provide the most protection for your flat screen. Self Locking Auto Folders - Used for office moves and local moves, requires no tape.Dish Packs - Double walled heavy duty carton used for packing dishes and stemware.Wardrobes - Holds two feet of hanging clothing. Also use these to stuff pillows and blankets into.
