I think someone has made up her mind about transplanting herself Chat Icon


But to answer your question, you can get that stuff at most storage unit places.

I know there's a website too, I have to find that info, I have it somewhere

Re: Best place to buy moving supplies?

get your wardrobe boxes from the movers. You can rent them for something like $10 a box and they deliver them ahead of time so you can pack or they will do it.

Re: Best place to buy moving supplies?

ok, this is what my family does. Call up border or barnes & noble and ask what day they get shippments. Then ask if they throw away their boxes (most do). They will hand them over. I know that is what my family does. They don't charge you & they are heavy duty boxes for books that are so durable.

Chat Icon that's a great idea! My DH didn't want me to get them used from stores b/c they're not good quality... but you have a good point about one's from a book store being very sturdy. Chat Icon

Re: Best place to buy moving supplies?

Also, go to liquor store and get their boxes. They are great for glasses (when you keep the wine bottle separaters in) and other fragile stuff because they are small enough that you stuff them snugly and they aren't too heavy. Plus, they're free!

Re: Best place to buy moving supplies?

That can get pricey - do you have friends that work in offices, etc.? I started to bring home from work all empty boxes and used those.
