Moving Tips: Cardboard Boxes Vs. Plastic Crates

Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies is an option to the cardboard box at the local move.  Whether you are moving yourself or being professionally moved, every move starts with the box to pack your home, and we deliver the moving boxes right to your door.  You can start packing right away - no assembly required.  Our plastic crates nest when they are empty and stack uniformly when they are full.  Each package comes with a combination of smaller size plastic bins which measure 21”x15”x12” and larger size plastic bins which measure 27”x17”x12. Checkout our bundle options that fit your packing needs.

The people who physically move the plastic crates love them because they move so quickly and efficiently!  They dolly up well and stack neatly within a moving van.  They have handles on each side so they can be picked up easily. 

One of our most recent customers told us that he received a $250 check back from his mover because it took less time to do the move than they had anticipated, and this was on account of a one-bedroom package of elephant trunk moving boxes.  That more than paid for the boxes, and he had some nice pocket money left over, too!  

Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies located in Plano, Texas is economical, ecological and so darn easy.

On your next local move, or remodel in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex give plastic boxes rental a try. You will be so happy you did.

We are very grateful to hear from customers that had a hassle-free moving experience with our plastic boxes.

Our Elephant Trunk move literally paid for itself! First, John is very helpful and easy to work with. We used a four bedroom package (and an extra crate dolly) to move from one four bedroom house to another, and the number of crates was almost exactly right. We had a few preexisting boxes and a few plastic storage tubs, but more than 90% of the move was handled with Elephant Trunk crates. Our movers loved the consistent, easily stacked crates and the ability to move multiple crates at once on the dollies. The crates saved us money because they were so fast and easy to move. As we packed, we just stacked full crates in our living spaces. This made it so easy for the movers that our 8-hour scheduled move was done in less than 6 hours, saving us more than the price of the Elephant Trunk crate rental. No question about it, this was an excellent experience. Will definitely use them again the next time we move!
