To put it simply, there's a ton of demand for moving services in New York, as migration from New York state continues following the pandemic.
The state is currently ranked #4 for the ratio of out-of-state moves versus new residents moving in. And while the City has been bouncing back recently, the demand for moving services continues to increase - which means that you need to be really careful who you trust with your belongings, as just about anyone with a van can sell their services as a "mover" - but you don't want just about anyone with a van around your stuff, do you?
Movers.com wants to help anyone interested in New York City moving find reliable, pre-screened movers - and take the necessary steps to reduce overall costs.
The “Where To Get Moving Boxes” guide tackles an important aspect of moving costs. With most movers offering boxes for a fee, being prepared with your own is an easy way to eliminate those fees - and also gives you an opportunity to upcycle unused boxes.
If you don't have enough existing boxes, the guide lists a series of places where they can get boxes easily. These include:
While most places sell their boxes, there is one option that gives them away for free.
“If you have a Costco membership, then you can get boxes while you shop there,” explains the report. “Some Costco's will even allow you to call ahead, and they will pull boxes for your move. These boxes are from their products, so don’t expect any heavy-duty moving boxes.”
In the Movers.com report, you'll also find a breakdown of the most common types of boxes - ranging from small 12” x 12” x 16” boxes that are ideal for books and other heavier items, due to their compact size, to picture and mattress boxes.
The resource includes advice on how to get moving boxes from various brands, as well as a general moving tips section to help movers make the most of their usable capacity without overpacking.
