Here at DirectMovingBoxes.com we are pet lovers. So if you are packing or unpacking your moving boxes, its always a good idea to be careful were you are putting moving supplies with you pets around. Moving supplies such as small packing peanuts, rolls of packing tape and bubble wrap may seem like fun to play with for a dog or cat but can be very dangerous to the pets if accidentally eaten and swallowed. 

Here is 2 good ideas you can do when unpacking or packing boxes:

1) Designated Moving Boxes. Have 1 or 2 designated moving boxes were you can put all your moving supplies. If your packing boxes, this is helpful because you will be more organized and always know where you moving supplies such as packing tape, markers and bubble wrap are. If your unpacking, it will help make clean up a snap because you will not have pieces of moving supplies such as plastic stretch wrap, paper, packing tape or styrofoam lying around the floor of your home, instead they will be contained into 1-2 cardboard boxes. 
2) keep pets separate. During unpacking or when packing boxes simply put your pet in the next room if possible. If thats not an option, you can also leave your pet with a friend or neighbor. 

Things not to do with your pets:

1) Don’t let your pet run around your moving supplies and chew on rolls of packing tape, play in piles of bubble wrap and packing peanuts. 
2) Don’t put your pet inside of a cardboard boxes if they do not have a safe way of getting out. 

Remember pets are like kids and you have to keep an eye on them during your move. Being more organized with your moving boxes and moving supplies will not only help you in packing faster it will keep your pets safe to.

There is nothing like the smell and feel of a getting new cardboard moving boxes for packing your belongings. Its kind of like opening up a new pack of socks, they have that new fresh clean feeling to them. When you buy new cardboard packing boxes and new moving supplies you actually know that you are the first person to be using them. The issue with used cardboard boxes is, you don’t know who’s stuff or what kind of stuff was packed into them. This leads to the whole issue of those gross pesky bedbugs.

Bedbugs have been a major issue in hotel and motels for along time. The thing is when most people visit hotels they tend to bring these little blood suckers home with them. It is a fact, that bedbugs are great hitchhikers and usually get into suit cases and other packages that are around. The even worse news is, they can stay alive without food for about one year. So when you get that great deal on Expedia for that motel, make sure to check there reviews for cleanness of the rooms. 

The really bad news is, that once bedbugs get into your home they are very difficult to get rid of. These tiny little pests have even build resistance to many pesticides that are available today.  If you really want to get used cardboard boxes it is wise to actually know the person you are getting them from.

Free Lamborghini with home purchase

Yes, its true that todays real estate market has taken a huge down turn in certain states like Florida, Washington, Los Vegas and many more places around the world. Real estate deals seem to be popping up every place giving a home buyer a lot of choices. 

Now a days, good prices alone just won’t sell a property. Sellers and Real estate developers are resorting to all kinds of bribes and discounts to entice buyers to purchase the homes they are selling. Its seems very normal to see sellers of properties include cars, Plasma TV’s, bedroom sets or fully furnished apartments. 

One Real estate Developer of the South of Fifth development in South Beach Florida is offering a Free Lamborghini worth $260,000 when you purchase one of there multimillion dollar apartment homes. This development is made up of 28 super luxury apartments on the beach. So if you got a cool million dollars to spend this seems like the place to live. Just remember to get a moving truck because you wont be able to fit to many moving boxes into the Lamborghini.

In my opinion, giving away freebies like t.v.’s, furniture and yes even cars should help entice a home buyer enough to make a purchase. So if your looking to buy a new home, you should be asking the seller if items like the T.V. or furniture are include with the sale. Chances are the seller is willing to let go of those things to help close a deal. 

Please let us know what’s your opinion on getting freebies with home purchases or what kind of freebies have you seen being offered.

Yes its moving time and everybody wants to get packed as fast as possible and try to keep things neat so unpacking will be easy. So when it comes time for packing your closet, most people turn to the best choice in doing this chore, wardrobe moving boxes.

Most people don’t realize that when you hang your clothing on the metal bar (which is included in our wardrobe box) in the wardrobe moving boxes there will be additional space at the bottom of the box. Please keep in mind that if you have long dresses they will probably touch the bottom of the box but if you have dress shirts or slacks the wardrobe moving boxes will give you clear and clean space at the bottom for additional belongings.

So what stuff should you pack at the bottom of your wardrobe boxes? Well items such as shoes, sneakers, socks, belts and even hats fit perfectly at the bottom of this large box.  When packing boxes being a little creative can help you utilize the space in your box to fit a lot more then you think.

Always remember to keep the weight of each moving box manageable to lift.
