moving your LP collection

Hi, I moved from Seattle to San Antonio this year, with 160 boxes of LP's each box weight 60LB's. I bought boxes from my local starage shop,they sell boxes that are 13"x13"x16" outside dimensions. These boxes will hold 75 LP's and when you seal the box, they are very sturdy so you can stack boxes on top of each other. We had 6 box high stack. All the boxes and LP arrived safely. These boxes sell for around $2 each.

U-Haul's "small" box is perfect for moving lp's. And I second the above comments about not (if possible) stacking anything heavy on top of your boxed lps and keeping them vertical. Cleary mark your boxed lp's as such and remind your friends to take extra care when loading and unloading.

Make sure they are dry when you pack them and that they can "breath" if put in storage.
The term "moldy oldie" came from somewhere...

When boxing them, alternate every 10 Lp's or so in order that the spines are not all facing the same way. You'll get more in each box and they will fit with less "dead space". Oh yeah, and mark them by whatever method you divide your LP's.

A friend who's a mover said that the "small" U-Haul boxes were actually designed for 12" lp's
