Pack It Right
So, you’re moving. Moving is stressful and you don’t want to have to worry about your things, your stuff, your fine china, your breakable tchotchke, (including that hideous ceramic chicken cookie jar that your aunt gave you because she’s coming to throw you a house warming party and you have to display it in the kitchen lest you hurt her feelings). You need some peace of mind when moving and that means you need good packing material.
Back in the day, when you were a college student, it was ok for you to go to the grocery store and beg for fruit and vegetable boxes but that won’t do anymore. You have worked hard. You have new stuff. You have better stuff. You actually care about your stuff now and you do not want it torn, ripped, dented or broken.
So you’re going to need some good boxes, furniture pads, tape, etc. But moving is expensive and you don’t want to spend a lot of money on these supplies. You need discount moving boxes.
At upack.com you can find everything you need to make your transition a little easier. They have different packs you can purchase including a starter kit, a kitchen pack and on, all the way up to the deluxe moving package that is enough for a 21-28’ moving trailer or about a 3 bedroom home. They even have wardrobe boxes for all of your hanging clothes so that you don’t find yourself in the middle of the floor of your new place at 1am trying to untangle all of those hangers and having to rehang everything. The wardrobe boxes come with a bar that extends from one side of the box to the other and can hold up to about 24” of closet space per box. At only $14.50 a box, that is well worth the price to save you from a horrid hanger nightmare.
Not quite sure how many boxes you’ll need? Don’t know what package is right for you? You can use the “moving box estimator” to assist you. Based on trailer size or number of rooms in the house, the moving box estimator takes the guess work out of it for you. You will get what you need-not too many, not too few.
To add even more icing on the cake, or to relieve a little more stress in your life, any order over $150 comes with free shipping because when it comes to moving, you really need to hear the word, “free”, once in awhile.
One of the hardest things about moving is the packing-where should you put things, where do you start? It’s all so overwhelming! Let the experts guide you and help you so that when you arrive at your new home, you’re not a frazzled, sweaty, crazed mess. You’ll know where everything is and you’ll know it got there safely.
Oh and if you need help moving? Contact upack again because...um, I’m busy for the next couple of weeks.
