Supplies We Stock
- Moving boxes in standard sizes – Small for books and dense items, medium for general goods, large for bulky light items, and extra-large for bedding and lampshades.
- Dish packs – Double-walled cartons with cell dividers, the only correct way to box a kitchen.
- Wardrobe boxes – Hanging-bar cartons that move a closet without folding, wrinkling, or rebagging anything.
- Mirror and picture cartons – Adjustable telescoping boxes for mirrors, framed art, and glass tabletops.
- Packing paper and bubble wrap – Clean, unprinted paper that will not transfer ink, plus bubble for electronics and fragile pieces.
- Tape, stretch wrap, and pads – Carton-sealing tape, furniture stretch wrap, and moving pads to round out a self-move.
Why Box Quality Actually Matters
A moving box has one job: survive being stacked five high in a truck that hits a pothole. Used grocery boxes and bargain cartons fail exactly there, and the failure lands on whatever was inside. Professional double-walled cartons hold their shape under load, stack cleanly, and protect their contents the whole route. The price difference per box is small. The difference at the other end is not.
Buying from a mover has a second advantage: honest advice. Tell us your home size and we will tell you roughly how many of each size you need, which saves both the third supply run and the pile of unused boxes.
A few items deserve their own carton strategy. Flat-screen televisions travel best in fitted TV boxes, table lamps in their own medium cartons with the shades boxed separately, and stemware in cell-divided dish packs rather than wrapped loose. Ask at the counter and we will flag the items in your house that fail most often in ordinary boxes, because we unpack the evidence every week.

Our Customer Testimonials
Frequently Asked Questions
We answer the questions people actually ask before hiring a mover: licensing, coverage, pricing, and what happens on moving day.
A rough rule: 20 to 40 boxes per room depending on how full your closets and cabinets run. Call with your home size and we will give you a realistic count by box size, so you buy once.
Standard small, medium, large, and extra-large cartons, plus specialty dish packs, wardrobe boxes, and mirror cartons. Paper, bubble, tape, and stretch wrap are stocked alongside.
For anything you would rather not fold, iron, or rebag, yes. Clothes travel on the hanger and move from closet to closet in minutes. They are among the first things experienced movers grab.
Used boxes have already spent their strength. They crush under stacking, collapse in humidity, and fail around exactly the items you cared enough to box. Structural cartons are cheap insurance.
Yes. Buy supplies for what you want to pack yourself and book our crew for the kitchen and fragile items. Mixed approaches like that are the most common way people use us.
Plan on packing paper by the bundle rather than the sheet, two to three rolls of carton tape per room, a marker per packer, and stretch wrap for furniture. We will put together the full kit at the counter based on your home size.
