MOVING BOXES · MOUNT PLEASANT
Moving boxes in Mount Pleasant, without the box run.
Planning a move in Mount Pleasant, whether that is Old Village, Ion, Park West or elsewhere in town? Here are the three ways to get boxes locally, what each costs, and how to choose.
Buying moving boxes in Mount Pleasant
Most people in Mount Pleasant buy cardboard from the home improvement, shipping and storage stores along Highway 17 and Johnnie Dodds Boulevard. 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 Mount Pleasant
Free boxes turn up at grocery stores along Highway 17, neighborhood social groups and Towne Centre retailers. 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.
