Where to Get Moving Supplies
Do you need moving materials?
Moving supplies are the lubricant of a smooth move. If you try to move without the right ones, you’re going to waste a lot of time, and you might end up damaging some of your valuables. So, before you start packing, make sure you have the right supplies on hand.
What You Need:
- Moving Boxes – moving boxes come in all shapes and sizes. They are light, durable and easy to transport, and they are perfect for packing most belongings, including dishes, electronics and books.
- Packaging – use bubble wrap, packing paper, and cushioning foam to stuff boxes and protect your valuables.
- Bags – bags range from trash bags to moving bags designed to protect furniture. Bags are can protect irregular shapes and stretch around clothing and blankets.
- Tape – tape should be used to seal boxes and secure items.
- Markers and labels – always label boxes and bags.
- Blankets – blankets can prevent scratching on furniture.
- Rope and bungee cords – these will help secure your larger possessions so they don’t slide around and bump into things during transportation.
Where to Buy Supplies
- Moving supply stores are a one-stop shop for everything you need. Places that rent moving trucks, like Budget, also sell moving supplies, as do some self-storage facilities.
- Office supply stores are also good resources for the basics, but they won’t likely carry specialty or extra-large boxes.
- Online outlets, like Amazon, are great places to shop for moving supplies… and without having to leave your house! There are even sites out there that specifically sell moving materials.
