MOVING BOXES · WEST ASHLEY
Moving boxes in West Ashley, without the box run.
Planning a move in West Ashley, whether that is Avondale, Byrnes Downs, Carolina Bay or elsewhere in town? Here are the three ways to get boxes locally, what each costs, and how to choose.
Buying moving boxes in West Ashley
Most people in West Ashley buy cardboard from the home improvement and shipping stores on Savannah Highway and Sam Rittenberg 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 West Ashley
Free boxes turn up at West Ashley grocery stores and the neighborhood swap 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.
