Big Apple Boxes is Ready to Help with Family Moves this Summer Moving Season

July 28, 2009 - PRLog -- With the summer moving season already in full swing, Big Apple Boxes is prepared for the annual increase in demand for moving boxes and supplies. Having just recently launched their new website (http://www.bigappleboxes.com), Big Apple Boxes offers a full range of quality moving boxes and supplies at discount prices, as well as complete room kits for moving anything from a small apartment to a large house.

Established in the moving business on the lower east side of Manhattan for over 50 years, Big Apple Boxes is more than familiar with the challenges of moving a family. Moving is stressful for everyone, but especially for young children, who often are forced to separate from their friends in their neighborhoods and schools.

Big Apple Boxes agrees with most experts that the best way to make moving easier on children is to actively involve them in the moving process. Letting them help pack their moving boxes is a good place to start, as well as asking them to help create an exciting theme for their new room. Anything that can be done to involve them with and excite them about the moving process can be worthwhile.

Moving also has its share of logistical difficulties: Most families will have to rent a large moving truck, and consider hiring additional help for moving out of their house or apartment and into the new one. There are many options that can spare families from having to spread a move over multiple days, which might ultimately cost more. In the crowded streets of New York City, parking a U-Haul overnight can be a recipe for disaster; hiring movers to finish the job in one day is a good way to prevent theft or damage to your truck.

Extensive planning and organization will also help the process go more smoothly. Start early and draft a list of what needs to be done and when. It is far easier to prepare a list before the pressure starts to build, and then to follow it according to your predetermined schedule. Be sure to include not only the details of moving out (canceling utilities and other accounts, changing addresses, notifying the post office) but also the most important things to set up in your new surroundings, such as camp or school for the kids, and accounts and privileges at local spots such as libraries, pools, and stores.
