DavePE Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hi all, The day of my depature is fast approaching and I'm going to start pack in the next week or two. I've sold up already so will only be taking the essentials with me. Clothes, my laptop and fishing equipment. I'll be taking two large suitcases, plus 1 carry on bag and my laptop bag with me on the flight. I would like to use either U-Bag or SevensSeas to send the remainder of my clothes and fishing stuff. I was thinking of getting two or three of those big plastic bins to put everything in. Like the one in the attached picture but probally a bit bigger. Thought that they'd be more secure than regular cardboard boxes. Has anyone used these before who has made the move? Good idea/bad idea?

CyberJoe Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hey @DavePE. Good luck with the packing, it is much harder than it seems deciding what goes and what stays. The plastic bins might be good, cant say since we have not used it. I can however recommend you get double walled cardboard boxes. They are really sturdy and I was quite impressed how strong they are. Double walled boxes are only slightly more expensive and I am convinced that I will be able to use the same boxes to move in Aus at least three or four times should the need arise.

DavePE Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks for the replies guys. I will try and track down some double sided boxes. I've heard about them just haven't been able to find anyone who stocks them in sleepy PE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcmiller Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Try boxitsa.co.za, I got a couple of double walled boxes from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
