All Boxed Up - The Perfect Moving Boxes

Shelby Chambers - Saturday, September 12, 2009

Moving to Los Angeles, and even within Los Angeles, is tricky. Finding a place in the location you like is close to impossible, pricing is painful, and roommates are a gamble. Not to mention, once you begin the undertaking, all of the grim moving details begin to slowly reveal themselves. Do you have enough boxes? Is there a truck big enough to move everything? Did you break that irreplaceable lamp? How much gas does a U-Haul need? — The list goes on and on. Then there is the amount of time that goes into meticulously packing all of your worldly possessions so that they might, with some luck, survive the long trek.

Boxes

Luckily, we’ve found one small ray of sunshine in the dismal reality of moving: Moving Box Delivery. This company specializes in quality moving boxes, as well as quantity – that is, how many boxes you personally need, and it is all based on moving stats and how many rooms you have in your current residence. You can take a lot of the guesswork and pre-packing energy out of your next move by visiting their website, selecting how many rooms your house has, then simply waiting for the moving kit to arrive in the mail (free of shipping).

Moving Boxes
If you think about it, boxes are weird. They are of no use until they have something in them, and even then they are only useful for about a week. And the last thing you want to do when dealing with a move is to drive somewhere just to buy empty boxes when you can buy Los Angeles moving boxes on-line. Luckily, with Moving Box delivery, you can have them shipped (free!) right to you when you are ready for them. That means no borrowing your friend’s car just because all the boxes you are paying too much for at Smart&Final won’t fit in the back of your Jetta.

The boxes you get are the same kind that professional movers would show up with. The boxes are sturdy, deep, but not so large that you won’t be able to move them. When you order from this site, the boxes you’ll get are uniform in size so that stacking and hauling won’t accidentally turn into a game of Jenga. Plus you can check out other box size options like wardrobe boxes that you can hang your clothes in, or an extra large box for pillows.

Moving Kits

Even if you do scrounge enough boxes from back alleys and the garage, you might be at a loss for other essential moving supplies like packing paper, foam, and packing tape. When you use Moving Box Delivery, you can order a pre-assembled moving kit with all of the boxes for moving you need, but probably don’t keep readily available at your place.

These moving kits come with the number of all-use boxes you need based on the size of your place, two clothes boxes, a wardrobe box for hanging clothes, a pillow box, five pounds of packing paper, 20 feet of packing foam, and 56 yards of packing tape. The best part is that everything you need is going to cost 25% to 35% lower than what moving companies charge for these supplies, and you don’t even have to leave the house to pick them up.
