Never using cardboard again
I had a fantastic experience with Stack moving bins. Without a doubt, this has been the best method to move that I've ever used! Not only do they stack perfectly without collapsing like cardboard boxes would, but the shape and size is perfect for just about anything. I used them for clothes that I kept on the hanger instead of wardrobe boxes (PERFECT), I used them for pantry items without needing to bag them, toiletries, kids toys...EVERYTHING. My only gripes? They're heavy. Even while empty, much heavier than a cardboard box is. And the size that is such a huge advantage when packing, is exactly the width of a hallway once my hands are holding each side. What a terrible size to have chosen - this means my poor hands and elbows got bruised and banged up when walking through doorways, hallways, everywhere. Ouch. The final complaint is that the dollies are completely useless - I wanted to love them, and really wanted to use them to save my back, but with steps up a threshold and uneven driveways, they're just impossible to push along with the bins without tipping over or becoming completely stuck. If you're moving with elevators and long indoor hallways of an apartment, it makes more sense to use the dollies. Aside from these small complaints, I seriously can't imagine using any other method to move again.
