I'm moving in about six weeks. Time to start thinking about packing and how I'm going to get my stuff together and move it.
Alaina over at Live Creating Yourself used something in Chicago for her move called redi-box. Thirty red plastic boxes were dropped in her living room on the requested day and she threw any and all of my non-furniture item into one. Moving all of the knick knacks–like kitchenware, decorative items, even some clothes, and the entire contents of her bar–became super easy...
Looks like a good way to go to me. I think I've found a place in Houston - One Source Moving - that offers the same service. This type of box will stack much easier then a random assortment of cardboard boxes and also has handles so they will be easier to carry. Their website talks a lot about movers too though, so I hope it's possible to just rent the crates.
I'm not sure I can do anything in the mean time. If I'm going to use these crates, I won't be packing anything in cardboard boxes. The Chicago company provides much more information - I could get 15 crates for two weeks for $99 or 30 crates for $150. Seems like a lot to me, but if it's going to make my move easier then I'm all for it.
Just found another company in Houston - http://www.boxesinhouston.com/products.html. But their pricing only lists 3 and 5 day box rentals. That would be some pretty quick packing. But they seem more organized than the other company.
Ande another one. This one gives you two weeks and 25 boxes for $129. http://www.elephantmovingandstorage.com/rent-packing-crates.php.
I want to start packing now though. If I go with this option, I won't really pack until two weeks out. I guess I could "get things ready." We'll see.
