Tips for finding good moving boxes

Finding boxes for your move is essential. Boxes allow movers to safely and carefully transport your items from your old home to your new one. Moving boxes are inexpensive and can sometimes even be found for free.

Make sure you only use good quality boxes. Cardboard boxes tend to accumulate insects if left out or unattended. A good place to look is at the post office. Sometimes they have free move boxes and most of the boxes are small which might be good for specific items.

Involve your friends and neighbors. Ask if they have boxes you can use and if they will find boxes for you. The more people search for boxes, the better.

Try posting on the Craigslist website. Ask if anyone has any extra moving boxes from their move that they want to get rid of. Many people would love to have their boxes removed so they don’t have to throw them away.

Professional movers can also provide boxes. Two Man Movers has high quality moving boxes for your disposal. We can also take moving boxes that you no longer use if you want them out of your house. Just give us a call and we can come by and pick them up or bring moving boxes with us when we help you move.

The boxes can also be found in stores. Grocery stores are also a great place because they may have boxes of produce on hand to give them. Electronics and computer stores may also have a variety of boxes for you to use.

Ask an apartment manager to pass your information on to new tenants. New tenants moving in can call or email you and ask you to pick up their boxes. The apartment can benefit because your dumpsters won’t be filled with piles of cardboard and you will help with recycling.

Once you know you’re moving, you need to start your box hunt. Boxes are not always easy to come by. Be sure to take advantage of your moving companies if they offer moving boxes with their services, like Two Man Movers.
