Why are moving boxes so expensive?

Moving Box Question:

Why are moving boxes so expensive?

Moving Box Answer:

Moving boxes can cost more than other boxes for any or several of the following reasons:

·         Materials and construction.  Moving boxes are made to be more rugged, often using what's called "double wall" construction.  The materials and methods used to accomplish this are more expensive, making the boxes more expensive.

·         Convenience.  Under the stress and urgency of a move, many people are more interested in getting their boxes quickly and easily than doing a lot of comparison shopping.  That means retailers of self storage units, moving truck rentals and similar moving services don't have much incentive to compete on price.  That keeps those prices higher.
