MOVING BOXES · FOLLY BEACH
Moving boxes in Folly Beach, without the box run.
Planning a move in Folly Beach? Here are the three ways to get boxes locally, what each costs, and how to choose.
Buying moving boxes in Folly Beach
Most people in Folly Beach buy cardboard from the stores along Folly Road on James Island; the island itself has no box retailers. A three-bedroom home needs 60 to 80 boxes plus tape, markers and paper, which usually lands between $150 and $300. Add an evening of taping and assembly before you pack a single item, and a pile of flattened cardboard to break down and haul away at the other end.
Finding free boxes in Folly Beach
Free boxes turn up at Folly Road grocery stores and vacation-rental turnover weeks. It works for a studio if you have time to collect them over a couple of weeks. For a whole house the sizes rarely match, some boxes arrive damp or weak, and mismatched boxes stack badly in a truck.
Renting plastic moving bins delivered to Folly Beach
Totally Boxless delivers reusable moving crates to your Folly Beach address already assembled, with attached lids and rolling dollies, and collects them from your new home after you unpack. Packages run from $99 for 15 crates to $329 for 100 crates for ten days, with five-day extensions. Nothing to buy, tape, build or throw away.
Delivery and pickup in Folly Beach are included in every package. Checkout checks both ZIP codes as you type and shows any fee before you pay.
Plan for the property, not just the beach address.
For a Folly Beach move, think about getting the crates between the unloading point and the room where you will pack. If the home is elevated, stairs belong in the plan from the beginning.
Check where a delivery vehicle may stop and whether the route to the home includes stairs or a shared entrance. Crates protect the packing process from box assembly, but they are not a substitute for protective wrapping or weatherproof storage.
- Share stairs and unloading restrictions.
- Keep belongings dry and protected during the move.
- Check access with the owner or property manager.
