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 (18x14x12, $44 for 20): 34

- Packing tape (4 x 110-yard rolls for $14): 4
