Where Do I Find Moving Supplies? Our Top Recommendations!
Moving requires a lot more supplies than you may think – from cardboard boxes or rubber tubs to tape, labels, furniture blankets, straps and tie-downs and more! So where can you find the moving supplies you need? Here are a few tips from Three Movers.
Grocery Stores & Big Box Stores
If you mostly need moving supplies, it doesn’t hurt to head to grocery stores and big box stores and talk to a manager about picking up some of their used cardboard boxes. These boxes usually have to be tossed or recycled anyway, so most store managers will be happy to provide you with their extra boxes, and these boxes tend to be very robust and sturdy.
Online Classifieds Like Craigslist
Craigslist and other online classified websites like Facebook Marketplace are good resources if you want low-cost, used moving supplies like boxes and tape. Keep an eye on these listings during the months and weeks leading up to your move to snag some sweet deals.
Truck Rental Companies & Self-Storage Facilities
Truck rental companies like UHaul and Penske always sell boxes and tape, and often rent out other supplies and equipment like dollies. Even if you don’t rent a truck or van from the company, you can get the stuff you need.
In recent years, these companies have also begun renting reusable, eco-friendly plastic boxes. These boxes are sturdier than cardboard and provide better protection for your stuff, but they are not disposable, so you’ll need to plan to return them to the facility after your move.
Most self-storage facilities also have moving and storage supplies for sale and rent, so this is another option to consider if a truck rental company is not your preferred option.
Home Improvement Stores & Hardware Stores
Home improvement stores like Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Menard’s have lots of moving supplies for sale, They sometimes also rent out trucks and vans for moving and other purposes. You may also be able to find moving supplies at your local hardware store.
