Spend more time studying and celebrating the end of the semester and less time worrying about move out; convenience is a luxury you can afford.
The moving company TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® recently launched a new Web site www.twomenboxes.com. The site allows you to save time and energy by buying reasonably priced boxes and packing supplies online. The service offers free one-day delivery on box orders to most locations in the United States.
Here are the top five reasons to buy boxes online:
Save time. As the semester draws to a close, there is little time to drive around looking for boxes. Let someone else do the work and get boxes delivered right to your door.
Save money. Online box kits are competitively priced with in-store boxes -- and you don’t have to burn gas to get them. If you don’t need an entire kit, split an order with your friends, roommates, people on your floor or fellow Greek members. Share the cost and order together.
Order when you want. Most store schedules don’t align well with the schedule of a college student. But with online resources, you can order before class, during your lunch break, or even at 3 a.m.
Use recycled and recyclable supplies. Using corrugated cardboard boxes is a great option for the environmentally and economically conscious. All boxes in TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® box kits are 30 percent recycled material. Buying sturdy cardboard boxes the first time can save you money down the road.
Enjoy versatility. High quality boxes can be used for storing items or can be flattened and stowed for later use. A wardrobe box, for example, makes a great storage area for seasonal clothing and shoes and can serve as an impromptu closet if necessary. And once you’ve gotten all the use possible, the cardboard compounds are completely recyclable.
“Moving is stressful, and trying to hunt down boxes at the last minute can be frustrating,” says Sally Degnan, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®/INTERNATIONAL, Inc. Vice President of Operations and mother to a college student and a college grad. “New services, like having boxes delivered to your door, make moving easier and are quite affordable.”
