Are you looking at taking advantage of the moving economy that we are now in, in 2018? If so then I want to give you some hope and some tips to get through. The old talk and wive's tales on how to move are done with and you should step into the new century. I have to say the first time I went to move was actually really scary. I was not really sure what I was doing and it put a whole lot of anxiety on me. Take heart and be calm, or heck it's 2018 smoke a little weed and calm down. I know that sounds silly, but it was a truth that made the experience very stressful and I want to help others not go through the same feelings as I did. Now I tried to look up how to move on the internet but back then the articles were all for sales and not for actually helping people. Instead of good advice, I got Uhaul articles. Now I will say that in the years since my first move I have rented many uhauls so I guess the advice was not the worst, but many of the old ways to move is simply not the best, and time has simply given us more options and spending a few bucks can save thousands in the long run. Don't be cheap or stingy you will lose money and I am not kidding.
So how do you believe the guy asking you to spend money and smoke a little? What I mean by this was the first advice I was given was to go out and get free boxes. I went to all the local big box stores and got used cheap moving boxes that they were about the throw-out. Now I thought this was amazing. But I also had to buy lots of tape to put them back together and they were used and flimsy. What really happened was that many boxes fell apart and they also flexed when lifting. So many of my boxes that got filled with heavyweight flexed while lifting and the people dropped them. I lost a lot of items due to bad boxes. The cheap moving boxes that I picked up cost me thousands of dollars in damage and most of my dishes. I was stupid and should never have done this.
I have moved many people and my own family several times since then and I have seen many injuries caused by flexible cardboard boxes. It really is a bad problem that can be easily resolved by spending about 30 bucks. I learned a few years ago that companies exist to fill this expensive gap. The packaging supply companies sell moving packages that come with all types of heavy-duty boxes, tape, and markers. It really is a dream for moving and you would never know if you hadn't done it before. It cost a few dollars more in prep work but can save you injuries and simply broken goods. The small things in life really are a joy and this is one area to think about. Get a good set of boxes and use a good trailer to move and you will literally have a good time. It is as simple as that.
