Proper moving boxes delivered to your Ottery St Mary address. Strong double-walled boxes in the right sizes, plus bubble wrap and tape if you need it. Start packing knowing your boxes won't collapse halfway through.
### Not All Boxes Are Created Equal
You could spend a weekend hunting round supermarkets for **free cardboard boxes**, half of which turn out to be too flimsy, the wrong size, or smell of vegetables. Or you could get proper moving boxes delivered and actually start packing.
Professional moving boxes are double-walled, uniformly sized (they stack properly), and actually strong enough for books without the bottom falling out.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Order boxes 2-3 weeks before moving day. Gives you time to pack gradually instead of panicking the week before. Much less stressful.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Full moving service?** I can supply boxes, help with packing, provide moving assistance, then help unpack and set up at your new place. Whole package if you want minimal stress. **Keep boxes flat after unpacking:** They take up less space and you can sell them on to someone else moving. People pay £20-30 for a job lot of used moving boxes in good condition. **Wardrobe boxes are worth it:** They let you move clothes on hangers without folding everything. Massive time-saver at both ends. Especially good for suits, dresses, anything that creases easily. **Exeter delivery:** £25 flat rate covers most of Exeter and close surrounding villages. Further afield might cost a bit more - just ask when you call.
Frequently Asked Questions about Box supply in Ottery St Mary
What sizes of boxes do you supply?
Standard moving boxes are usually medium (18x12x12 inches) and large (18x18x18 inches). Medium for books and heavy items, large for lighter bulky stuff like bedding and clothes. I can advise on quantities once I know your house size.
How many boxes will I need?
Rough guide: 1-bed flat needs 20-30 boxes, 2-bed house 30-50 boxes, 3-bed house 50-80 boxes. Depends how much stuff you've got though - some people need way more, some manage with less.
Can you supply bubble wrap and tape too?
Yes - I can provide bubble wrap, packing paper, and strong packing tape. Better to have too much than run out halfway through packing and have to go hunting for more.
Do you collect boxes after the move?
Not currently - but if you keep them flat and intact, you can often sell them on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. Someone else moving locally will snap them up.
How much notice do you need?
Ideally a few days to sort stock and arrange delivery, but I can sometimes do next-day if you're in a bind. Just call and ask - if I've got boxes in stock, I can help.
