Best Packing Boxes?

What's the easiest box to transport everything? Pots and pans, dishes, bathroom gear, etc? Should i just get some random cardboard boxes or should I go to staples and buy plastic bins?

Any recommendations?

Home Depot sells super cheap large moving boxes. They are like $1.00 a box.

I don't think there's a "best" box -- I've always just used whatever I can find for free. The important thing is how well stuff is packed in the box!

I agree with the PP, it's how you pack them that is important, not whether you use cardboard or plastic. Using plastic bins would be awfully expensive too.

We used Used Cardboard Boxes for our last move and will use them again.

I purchased some boxes from UHAUL - they were sturdy... I bit more $$ (I didn'tknow HD had boxes, cheaper)

But I would def suggest the packing materials again UHAUL had a good selection - and that was def the best investment.
