Most people have probably not given a lot of thought to the differences in moving boxes, or gone over the various options in this area. However, when you are preparing for a move, knowing how and where to pack your things can make a tremendous difference in how smooth your move goes. It can also even help to make your move faster, which should save you money, since many moving companies work on the basis of weight (of the total shipment) and time involved.
Smaller Usually Is Better:
While some people certainly reach for the biggest boxes they can find, smaller is usually better in this case. Most experts and moving companies strongly advise against packing a box to more than 50 pounds. This makes it easier to carry and move around as needed. Always remember that even if professionals have been hired, you might still need to move this yourself at times.
