Scotch Premium Moving Boxes

Costco warehouse is selling this moving kit, Scotch Premium Moving Kit (Costco item #280375, $49.99 in June 2008). This is a great buy, if you need boxes for moving or just storage.

The moving kit includes 25 boxes of three different sizes and an assortment of other packing materials:

  • 5 Large boxes, 23x23x16 inches
  • 8 Medium boxes 20x20x14 inches
  • 12 Small boxes 18x12x12 inches
  • 5 rolls of bubble wrap, each 12 inches by 10 feet
  • 3 rolls of packing tape
  • 3 tape dispensers
  • 24 bubble pouches
  • 1 marker for labeling your boxes

For comparison, I checked on the U-Haul prices for boxes. They sell large boxes for $3, medium for $2.35, and small for $1.70. In all cases the U-haul boxes are slightly smaller than the boxes in this kit. Just buying the boxes from U-haul will cost you $54.20. U-haul sells a packing tape dispenser for $10! So once you add those extras in, your cost is going up significantly. Budget sells a similar moving kit for $79., but this has 15 small boxes and 10 medium boxes, with no large boxes.

If you have to move soon, pick this one up a Costco.
