Default HELP: Moving From Columbia to McLean

Hi everyone! I need some help from you guys. Does any of you have access to a lot of empty boxes? I am moving from Columbia, MD to McLean, VA this Saturday and would like to put everything that I own in boxes to save some headache with moving.

Also, is anyone down for helping me with loading and unloading the truck this Saturday? I'm planning on getting a few guys in my apartment in Columbia at around 10:00am and load up the U-Haul truck. Then getting another group of guys together at my new apartment in McLean at around 2pm to help unload the truck.

Thanks in advance!!!

no boxes

Storage places sell them though and you can pick what sizes you need... Thats what I did when I moved.

I have college on saturday but I can come up to help unload when I get out

Go to the grocery stores and warehouse stores. They have TONS of big sturdy boxes that they need to get rid of and will give them for free.

Good idea. I'll stop by the local supermarkets to ask for boxes!

Ya, when my family moved to MD we went to Target and found numerous boxes of all sizes. There is no need to pay something like $3 bucks a box....

I actually got some huge boxes here if you need some. Big enough to squeeze 3 Asian girls inside to ship back to China.

Ethan, you dont need any help. You're a strong looking fellow. I'm sure you can lift the fridge without any help.
