a) Books and heavy items

When packing books and heavy items it is best to use smaller boxes so that they are easier to handle. Bigger boxes may seem like they can fit more but to carry them is next to impossible. Also a larger box may not be able to take all that weight.

When packing boxes with heavy items, it is better not to use the free but considerably weaker boxes you may get from your local supermarket. Visit your local nyc box store or new york moving supplies store, or contact your new york moving company and get the proper materials. Many of these box supplies can be delivered to your home or apartment. So take advantage of these services and make it easier on yourself.

With items such as weights, put them in the box sparingly. Don’t fill the box up! Even if going just into storage, these boxes will not make the journey.

Good luck with the move!
