We moved to Florida a couple months ago from Minnesota. I found the best place to buy 3M bubble wrap was from Sam’s Club. The best place to buy 3M shipping tape was Costco. The best places to buy cardboard boxes was Walmart, Menards, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. The best place to buy plastic film wrapping was Walmart. We probably spent a few hundred dollars on the packing supplies, and used Upack ABF for the move.
Some items are odd sizes and won’t fit in cardboard boxes. I bubble wrapped those items and cut cardboard boxes flat, to form cardboard around the items, like large stereo speakers. It took a couple large boxes to wrap items. I then used junk wire to wrap and tie the cardboard to the items.
Large artwork paintings were wrapped in cut flat cardboard. Then wrapped in soft blankets. Then wrapped with plastic film wrapping.
The very fragile item were bubble wrapped only, and we carried inside our vehicle.
