Our on-site Moving Center has all the boxes, tape and other supplies you need to make your next move go smoothly, with no extra trips to your local home improvement store required. Read on to learn what moving supplies we have available for you to purchase. What Moving Supplies Do We Offer? Boxes Boxes are the number one item you’ll need when you’re moving. After all, most of your belongings, with the exception of large furniture, will go into boxes. But how many will you need? That’ll depend on the number of rooms you’re packing up and the size of your home. Kitchens and master bedrooms, for instance, tend to use up the most boxes, and a large, gourmet kitchen will use more boxes than an apartment kitchen. So while a one bedroom apartment may need just 20 or 30 boxes to move, a four bedroom house may need over 100. Luckily, you don’t have to guess right the first time. It’s easy to make a stop at our on-site store to pick up a few extra boxes if you need them. We currently offer a variety of sizes, all mover-grade to protect your belongings: Small Medium Large Extra large TV Wardrobe Tape Just like boxes, you can never have enough tape when you’re moving. Inevitably, you’ll come to the end of a roll right when you need it the most, and it can be frustrating to have to make the drive up to the big box store just to purchase a new roll. Always opt for packing tape rather than office ...
