Having helped about 100 people move then finally having a company paid professional move, I’m all about buying boxes. The pro’s had three sizes of box and they were loaded by weight and not volume. The movers job was easy, they weren’t making stuff fit in the truck and rarely carried more than 40 or so lbs.
My next move will include new purchased boxes.
“...I’m all about buying boxes.”
Lowe’s sells moving boxes CHEAP! They’re not the mucho heavy duty boxes movers use, but they’re more than adequate. Last time I bought a moving box at Lowe’s...I think “book” boxes were seventy-eight cents. Larger boxes maybe a dollar. Add a six-pack of tape (next to the boxes), and you’re ready to move.
