STORAGE: Plastic Container
I’ve always been using paper boxes for my prior relocations. I realized that they don’t last and definitely won’t protect your belongings especially the fragile ones. Removalist hates the flimsy ones too. My best beg now will surely be plastic containers. I think they are good for those breakable items and heavy objects. Example – cutleries, books, magazines or other bits and pieces. I used them to store my old books and magazines as well, they last for years.
Bought these at local hypermarkets last week. The one with orange lid is L48xW31xH30cm at RM9.90 from TESCO. The other one with size L62xW42xH23cm at RM12.90 from CARREFOUR. Pretty reasonably priced but only during sale periods and promotions. For those who still love colorful paper boxes, IKEA LingoCirkel box w/ lid (p227) at RM12.90/2pcs for size L32xW24xH15cm. Anyone knows of cheaper or better alternatives for storage and shifting purposes?

to store my stuff, i buy IKEA containers called SLUGIS. not airtight, no clips to clip on the covers like the Toyogo ones. but i like how it looks. hahaha...
stackable too. to prevent stuff inside from going mouldy just in case, i dump in a pack of this "magic glass" which is a recycleable moisture sucking thingy. when the indicator turns red, just pop in the microwave for 5 mins or sun it.
so far so good....
hehe... something i like about stronger currency. It cost me SGD9 for SLUGIS i think. Lid is SGD2 i think.. can't quite remember...
complain to them lah, somethings in IKEA msia is more expensive. SG cheaper (even after conversion, thats why you can see Msia cars in IKEA SG stuffing everything into their MPV to lug it back across the causeway)
And the Buatan Malaysia products cost about the same price in SGD. So for same price, I opted for IKEA :-)
Unless I go to Johor and lug those containers back. Kang Kor lah....
Hi, you probably moved already by now.. But what the heck do you do with the not-so-aesthetically-pleasing plastic boxes once you're done with moving?! They're quire an eyesore if you too many of them lying around.
I think paper boxes might not last as long, but you can fold them out and put them out of sight. They cost much less than plastic boxes anyway.
My 2 cents (Malaysian cents)
