Packing for moving day is a real pain; the movers come Friday morning and we will just barely make it. Materials were mostly purchased online at DirectMovingBoxes. It seems that a company Smart Pack Solutions makes/sells/distributes the actual boxes and packing materials, and a bunch of different websites all sell the exact same things at the exact same prices in some kind of affiliate network.
- “Medium” boxes (18×14x12, $44 for 20): 34
- “Large” boxes (20×20x15, $46 for 15): 13
- “Extra-large” boxes (23×23x16, $44 for 10): 5
- Packing tape (4 x 110-yard rolls for $14): 4
- Packing tape (Scotch packing tape, 40 yards for $6): 1
- Total bill: approximately $200
Current tonnage: 2262 lbs., does not include things like TV, sofa, couch, or other furniture.
Still to go:
- Long desk
- Corner workstation desk
- HumanScale keyboard tray
- Desktop computer, monitor, and speakers
- Server computer
- Laser printer
- Mattress and box springs
- Miscellaneous desk items (about 2 boxes’ worth).
- Framed pictures
My car is currently in Providence, RI, and is scheduled to arrive in California on September 1st. Sweet!
