Have you ever had the experience of packing to relocate to a new Ottawa home, only to discover in horror that you don’t have the right number of boxes for moving? It’s a frustrating realization, and one that often sends many homeowners to make bad choices, including:

Rushing out to pay too much for overpriced cardboard boxes at the store. The homeowners know they are being overcharged for far too little, but they’re frantic to finish packing.
Stuffing their belongings into the boxes for moving they already have. This just leads to overcrowding, and that’s a recipe for disaster. Books crush dishes, kids’ toys get ruined and wedding china becomes cracked.
Trying to use non-box items around the house to transport their goods. This can be anything from pillowcases to empty appliances to dresser drawers. While creativity can be a great skill, not everything can or should be turned into a moving box!

The answer is clear: Get help choosing the right number of boxes for your move.
