Moving Kits in Los Angeles Eliminate Sitting in LA Traffic

by MovingBoxDelivery on January 27, 2010

If you are moving in Los Angeles,  there are amazing beaches, culture, night life, financial opportunities and a land of interesting people to meet. However, there is also TRAFFIC.

Why Sit in Traffic to Buy Moving Boxes When You Can Order a Moving Kit in Los Angeles with Next Day Delivery! Why Sit in Traffic to Buy Moving Boxes When You Can Order  Moving Kits in Los Angeles with Next Day Delivery!

Sitting in traffic is a day to day reality for all of us who live in Southern California. Dense traffic conditions certainly  affect all of our buying decisions; including the decision to buy a product on-line, and/or drive to a store in Los Angeles. This is a question that crosses all of our minds for everything we buy including moving boxes and moving supplies.

“If it takes you 3-4 hours to drive back and forth a local store just to buy boxes and moving supplies because of traffic, than a service that is able to ship a complete moving kit in Los Angeles to your doorstep is very appealing to working professionals and busy moms with kids,”  said Kirstie Berzanski, the founder and owner of Moving Box Delivery, Inc.

Kirstie went on to say, “If you live in an area that has bad traffic like Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and New York , having moving boxes in Los Angeles and moving supplies shipped to your home could potentially save you HOURS AND HOURS of time not of sitting in traffic.”

Traffic in Los Angeles is not a pretty situation. In the Horizon blog, there was a facinating article about Another Study Confirms Los Angeles is Most Congested City in America.  This article details facts from INRIX, the leading provider of traffic services in the U.S. that predicted traffic to only get worse. 

This article details the results of their study that concluded that the top most congested cities in 2009 were:
-Los Angeles, California
-New York, NY
-Chicago, Ill
-Washington DC
-Dallas, Texas
-San Francisco,  California
-Seattle Washington
-Philadelphia, Pa.

“Yes we sell moving boxes and supplies. However, what we REALLY sell is a  wonderful service that can help you save time packing, save money on moving supplies, protect your valuables  from moving damages, and keep you out of traffic while moving,” smiled Kirstie.

Happy moving!

Moving Boxes-Hats Off-5 Tips On How To Pack Hats When Moving

by MovingBoxDelivery on January 26, 2010

Learn How to Pack Your Hats So They Don't Get Crushed

Learn How to Pack Your Hats So They Don't Get Crushed

I counted how many hats that our family owned. We own 23 hats! I could not believe how many that we had. We have baseball hats, sun hats, tennis hats and all sorts of adorable baby hats. Some of these hats are more fragile than others, some are meant  to protect us  from the sun, and yes, some are just to look GOOD. 

The question is, how do you move hats so you keep them intact?

Life is like a new hat. You don’t know if it suits you if you keep trying it on in front of your own mirror.” Shirley McLaine

 

HOW DO YOU PACK HATS WHEN MOVING?

Tip #1- If you have any valuable, decorative hats that can not get compressed, it is wise to invest in a hat box and then place this hat box inside of your moving box. 
A hat can easily loose it’s form if any weight is placed on top of it. That is why a hat box is a great investment, not only for moving, but to store your hats once you move into your new home.

A hat box is how people used to store their priceless hats, dating back to Victorian times.

Once you place your hat inside of the hat box, take the entire box and place this inside of the all Purpose moving box. You should be able to fit at least two hat boxes inside each of your moving boxes, although this depends on the size of your hat. Don’t forget to fill the moving box with crumpled newspaper, so your hat boxes will not be able to move.  Hat boxes are a wonderful way to store your hats once you move into your new home!

Tip #2: Be sure to place your hat boxes inside of moving boxes. Movers will not move hat boxes unless they are inside of moving boxes, because your hats would not be protected.

Tip #3
If you have a lot of hats, separate the hats that are similiar into piles. For example, all your baseball hats place them in one pile, sun hats in another. Then any hat that can be stacked on top of each other will be easily accessible to pack. 

Remember, hats  retain more strength if they are stacked on top of each other.

Tip#4: Wrap your hats with ink-less packing paper, so they don’t get dirty and then fill up the box with regular newspaper. Crumple regular newspaper around your wrapped hats so the box will retain it’s ultimate strenght when it is stacked on top of each other in a moving truck.

Tip #5- Never place any heavy items or other belongings other than hats inside of the same moving box. You don’t want any weight to be placed on the boxes.

Tip#5-  As a fast trick, you can actually line the bottom of your wardrobe boxes with baseball hats and shoes. (As long as the hats are not valuable and it wouldn’t matter if they were compressed this is a great solution) If you are not familiar with wardrobe boxes, they are used to hang your clothes inside of. As the clothes are hanging of the box, this leaves an open space to place other items on the bottom of the box.
