Not all moving supplies are created equal. At Mr. Moves Fast, we see it all — from smart essentials to pricey products that never get used. Here’s our breakdown of what’s worth it and what you can skip.
✅ Worth It: Supplies That Make a Difference
📦 Boxes (Various Sizes)
Don’t underestimate the value of sturdy, uniform boxes. Medium and small boxes are especially helpful for managing weight.
📑 Packing Paper & Bubble Wrap
Ideal for fragile items. Packing paper is cleaner than newspaper and avoids ink stains. Bubble wrap is perfect for glass, electronics, and anything with corners.
🖇 Plastic Stretch Wrap
Super versatile — keeps drawers shut, protects furniture surfaces, and can bundle awkward items together. We bring it to every job.
🛋 Furniture Blankets & Pads
Protects large pieces from scuffs, dents, and dirt. Essential for any serious move. We bring blankets and ratchet straps to jobs where we’re handling both the loading and unloading.
🔧 Tool Kit
We bring the essential tools for disassembly and reassembly when needed, especially for load-only jobs where we won’t be present at the destination.
❌ Skip It: Supplies That Waste Your Money
💰 Specialty Box Kits (e.g., “TV Moving Kit”)
Often overpriced and unnecessary. We can protect most TVs with blankets, wrap, and strategic placement.
🧽 Foam Pouches for Everything
Unless you’re packing a full set of china, these are overkill. A few sheets of bubble wrap or paper do the trick.
🧼 Drawer Organizers & Tray Dividers
Rather than spending money on packing the contents of drawers, empty them and box items separately. This prevents damage, reduces weight, and avoids mess from shifting items.
🧵 Color-Coded Labels & Expensive Tape Guns
Basic masking tape and a Sharpie work just fine. Don’t overcomplicate your labeling system.
Final Tip
Before buying supplies, ask your movers (like us!) what we already provide. Mr. Moves Fast comes prepared with dollies, blankets (when unloading too), ratchet straps, stretch wrap, and a full tool bag — all included in your service.
