Order Your Moving Boxes in Kits

by James Draper Owner

Moving house is a very stressful experience, with lots to organise and think about. The moving process itself will include organising a removal company to help you to move, or hiring a removal van or lorry yourself. It will also involve buying the right packaging materials to assist with your move, which will include a range of sizes of cardboard boxes along with bubble wrap and strong packing tape too. Always make sure that you buy packaging from a trusted online supplier. You can find specialist house moving packaging companies online which will offer you the best range for moving at the best prices, with quick delivery to match.

When it comes to buying medium cardboard packing boxes, there are different options in terms of sizes, types and how you can buy them. Here’s the different ways to buy boxes online:

Individually. You can buy each box individually and choose which ones you want and how many you want. Sounds simple enough.
You can buy packs of five, ten or one hundred boxes of each kind. This is usually the option to buy discounted quantities, because the price per box decreases when you buy larger quantities. This is great if you know which sizes and type of box you are going to need, and you are certain that you will need a specific quantity of each one.
You can also buy cardboard boxes medium size in ‘moving packs’. These are specially made multi packs which include a variety of different types and size of box, along with bubble wrap, tape and everything else you could need. They are usually based on the number of bedrooms in your house, for example a ‘3 bedroom moving pack’.

Why are moving kits the best?

Moving packs or moving kits are the same thing. They are multi packs of boxes, bubble wrap and tape. The idea is that they take the guesswork out of choosing how many and which boxes and packaging you will need for a house move, based on the number of bedrooms in your house.
The first benefit of using moving packs is that they are the quick and easy option. It means that you don’t have to spend a while calculating how many boxes you will need and you can simply pick based on the average you will need based on how many bedrooms that you have. You know that you will be in the correct ballpark and you can always order more boxes and additional items if you run out.
Moving kits are usually discounted and offer great value for money compared with buying medium size cardboard boxes individually. You can therefore make great savings when buying them, which is important when you are moving house because the costs can really add up with the removal costs along with everything else.
Moving kits tell you which types and sizes of box you will probably need. This is important because if you were to try to work out which boxes you wanted with a large selection of potentially hundreds of different box sizes, it could be a nightmare.

What are the disadvantages of buying boxes in kits?

Moving packs are only an estimate of what you will need based on the bedrooms in your home. This is no way an accurate and scientific measurement of what you will actually need. You might end up with too many medium moving boxes or too little, both of which have their problems.
They are expensive to buy, even though they save you money overall. Another option would be to buy small quantities of boxes and packaging at incremental stages, so you don’t end up paying too much all in one go.
If you buy all your boxes in one go, you will need the space to store the boxes before you use them and pack your belongings. This isn’t too much of a problem because the boxes will likely arrive flat packed and so they don’t take up much room, however if you have a very small property then it could be an issue.
The moving kits might include some packaging materials that you don’t actually want to use for example a marker pen which you might already have, or bubble wrap which you don’t feel you need. For this reason you might be better off buying each type of packaging that you actually want individually instead of buying a moving pack.
