About Helpineedboxes and why we sell moving boxes

Helpineedboxes.co.uk is part of Helpiammoving.com Ltd a website dedicated to helping in the process of moving house. Our packaging box service has been created directly from requests from visitors looking for quality packaging boxes to help them when moving house. "We want to put the Help into moving" says Andrew Scholey the founder of Helpiammoving.com an ex removal company owner who knows the industry inside and out and therefore can give a trade perspective to the general public. "A lot of boxes available to buy online are not suitable for the process of moving house, you need good strong boxes that can be stacked in a uniformed way" says Andrew "Boxes that are not suitable only add to the stress of moving".

Our boxes are of the same kind as the removal industry use, so they are not only the most sturdy boxes but also standard removal industry dimension. This means that your boxes can be stacked on one another without leaving spaces in the van and more importantly they won't collapse under weight. Beware of cheaper boxes that are smaller as this only means you will have to buy more boxes and more journeys between your home and lorry making a removal take longer.

Our depot is based in North Yorkshire but we deliver nationwide. Moving house can be a very stressful experience but with Helpiammoving.com we aim to take some of the stress and headaches away by offering free advice, checklists, practical advice as well as boxes.

Events

MHS Homes Group contacted Helpiammoving.com Ltd in January 2008 to see if Helpineedboxes.co.uk could supply cardboard boxes for people to sleep in for a giant sleep out to be held at the end of the month at their head office in Chatham, Kent. This was to raise awareness for people having to sleep rough in the cold winter months. Andrew thought this was a very good idea, so he volunteered to join 180 other sleepers who took part to raise money for the Emmaus Medway Community project which seeks to tackle the problems of homelessness through a self-supporting Medway community and Macmillan Cancer Relief who have launched a new appeal to raise over £1 million to help build a cancer care unit at Medway Maritime Hospital.

Armed with cardboard moving boxes he swapped his comfortable bed to sleep inside his collection of boxes that he had arranged in the shape of a F1 car. Complete with driver and steering wheel the boxes looked quite good and we even won a prize on the evening. The event was an ideal opportunity to raise not only money for the two charities but also raise awareness of homelessness and help those in genuine need and raised over £25,000 for both charities.
