Mailing Books
Our take
Moving to New York City to be closer to your grandchildren is an exciting adventure, but it comes with its challenges, especially when it involves packing and mailing a significant collection of books. As you prepare to part with most of your belongings, ensuring the safe transport of your children’s childhood books and your treasured teaching manuals is essential. Opting for the largest boxes that can hold up to 75 lbs is a smart choice, but finding strong and durable options is crucial. Consider using double-walled boxes specifically designed for shipping, as they provide extra protection. Remember that your boxes may be inspected, so secure packaging is key.
I'm moving to NYC to be closer to my grandchildren. I'm getting rid of everything except things of very sentimental value and some difficult-to-replace teaching manuals. I plan to mail my adult children's childhood books and the teaching books. There are a LOT of books! It looks like it's cheapest to pack them in the biggest boxes possible up to 75 lbs. But what boxes are strong enough to survive the trip? I understand that the box may be inspected, so I should factor that in. I'd love advice!
And, oh my goodness, dealing with NYC co-op boards is every bit the nightmare it's chalked up to be! But that's another issue!
