MOVING BOXES · HANAHAN
Moving boxes in Hanahan, without the box run.
Planning a move in Hanahan? Here are the three ways to get boxes locally, what each costs, and how to choose.
Buying moving boxes in Hanahan
Most people in Hanahan buy cardboard from the stores along Rivers Avenue and North Rhett Avenue. 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 Hanahan
Free boxes turn up at Hanahan grocery stores and the Tanner Plantation neighborhood groups. 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 Hanahan
Totally Boxless delivers reusable moving crates to your Hanahan 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 Hanahan are included in every package. Checkout checks both ZIP codes as you type and shows any fee before you pay.
Treat a short-distance move as a full packing job.
A Hanahan move may be a short trip, but packing still takes time. Reusable crates let you prepare in advance and return the empty containers through a planned collection.
Avoid planning to shuttle open containers back and forth throughout the day. Label each crate for the new room and keep an inventory of any fragile items. Your movers can advise how to load and carry packed crates safely.
- Keep fragile items protected inside the crate.
- Label for the new layout, not just the old room.
- Set aside time to unpack even for a nearby move.
