9-May-06 9:00 AM CST Crates versus boxesTo use crates or boxes, that is the question! As a move consultant for 15 years, I was sceptical when the crate vendor came to call. She told us that utilizing crates on a move would save us money. All I could go back to was the simple math - they cost more money, how could you possibly save my clients money when the cost of a crate is more than the cost of a box? She kept insisting that the savings was in the labor. Being the cynic, I politely requested that she prove it and preferrably, at her cost. She did! I know that it seems unbelievable, but crates will save you money on the labor side of the move. The fact is, the movers no longer have to touch every box. When the movers show up at the job site, the crates are on the dollies. The labor savings is phenomenal and so is the rate at which your belongings will be moved. You will be in your new space at lightning speed. Another way crates will save you is - safety. Simply put, crates are easier on your back both to pack and to move out of your way. My clients love them. I know there are times when boxes have to be utilized. When they do not, I highly recommend utlizing crates while saving your back and your money.
