MOVING BOXES · NORTH CHARLESTON
Moving boxes in North Charleston, without the box run.
Planning a move in North Charleston, whether that is Park Circle, Oak Terrace Preserve, Wescott Plantation or elsewhere in town? Here are the three ways to get boxes locally, what each costs, and how to choose.
Buying moving boxes in North Charleston
Most people in North Charleston buy cardboard from the big-box and shipping stores along Rivers Avenue and Ashley Phosphate Road. 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 North Charleston
Free boxes turn up at Rivers Avenue grocery stores, Park Circle neighbors and warehouse 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.
