Cheap Moving Supplies
As you prepare for a safe and effective move, you’ll need to find a moving company that can guarantee a professional and inexpensive service. At All Around Moving & Storage, we pride ourselves on matching affordability with excellent quality and provide a range of cheap moving supplies ideal for packing your belongings. We are also happy to offer advice on how to keep your individual packing endeavors efficient and affordable.
1. Skip the Free Grocery Store Boxes
It is often suggested that you visit your local grocer or supermarket for free moving boxes. While these places often have an excess of cardboard boxes on hand, they may well be of too low a quality to keep your goods safe in a move. As an alternative, a quick Internet search will offer a range of companies that collect pre-used carboard boxes which are durable enough to be resold cheaply to movers. Avoid damaging your belongings by using professional grade supplies like these.
2. Apply Tape Correctly for Optimum Protection
When moving on a budget, it is tempting to use the minimum amount of cheap moving supplies. While this can work if planned correctly, be sure not to scrimp on essential packing items such as tape. Rather than using one roll of low quality tape to roughly seal boxes, be sure to use durable moving tape to properly wrap around the top, bottom and sides of each box – thus providing maximum protection and support.
3. Gather the Correct Box Sizes
Don’t underestimate the importance of choosing the correct size of professional grade moving boxes for your belongings. Here, it can be useful to talk to your professional moving company as they often have the greatest selection of boxes available. Heavy items like books are best suited for small compact boxes in order to control the weight of what you are carrying. Likewise, lighter items like pillows and blankets can fit in large boxes without becoming too heavy to lift. Using the right boxes can help you to be more strategic for space-conscious moving and ensure you don’t overload yourself.
