Moving Tips > How to save money when moving Large furniture can be very expensive to ship since the shipping charge is determined by volume. Crating may be required, and this increases the volume. The cost of crating itself is also not cheap. For all of these reasons, you should consider all large furniture items very carefully when deciding what to ship. You do not have to buy cardboard boxes, as they are usually available free of charge at supermarkets and liquor shops. However, if you are sending goods to Australia, avoid using cardboard boxes that have contained vegetables or fruits. Many people use too much tape in taping their cardboard boxes. If you use a strong packing tape about 2 or 3 inches wide, one strip along the openings and one or two crossing strips should be adequate. It is not necessary to wrap the entire package several times with multiple layers of tape. Rope and string are also unnecessary.
