MOVING BOXES · ISLE OF PALMS
Moving boxes in Isle of Palms, without the box run.
Planning a move in Isle of Palms? Here are the three ways to get boxes locally, what each costs, and how to choose.
Buying moving boxes in Isle of Palms
Most people in Isle of Palms buy cardboard from the stores back in Mount Pleasant along Highway 17; the island 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 Isle of Palms
Free boxes turn up at Mount Pleasant grocery stores and rental-property 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.
