Uhaul makes perfect boxes for this. I have used them a few times to move my lps without issue.
Moving across country with over 1000 LP's
Hi guys and gals-I am contemplating moving to Arizona in the near future from NJ and wanted to get your suggestions on how to make sure the move isnt traumatic to the over 1000 LPs. Is there any way movers can prevent warpage of the records? Just was wondering if any moving companies have temperature-controlled vans. The temperature as you get out west in the summer can reach 112 or more and I'm sure it's even hotter inside a moving van. Anyone with experience in this? Many of the LP's I have are collectors items and I'd sure hate to see them ruined. Thanking you in advance!-Mrmitch

In the quantity you're going to need you might check out U-Line's selection of boxes. They have a huge selection and are dramatically cheaper than buying singles from U-Haul. It looks as if this one or something similar would work and buying in bundles of 25 they're $1.22 each. Shipping is extremely quick. |
Mr Mitch, Be sure to use high quality boxes.Dont skimp !!! I used boxes from U-Haul. Everything survived the trip in perfect order Pack tightly and mark the boxes with an arrow as to "this side up" but you are at the mercy of the movers. I visited friends in Gilbert Az. You wont have to worry about warping once you get there.Very low humidity but I would think you already know that. Best of luck in your new residence |
