Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find Moving Boxes?

Blue Ox Moving and Storage offers durable moving boxes for a reasonable price. Used boxes can also be found at local Katy businesses and Craigslist, but you can never be sure how well they will hold up and protect your belongings.

What Should I look for in a Katy Moving and Storage Company?

You should choose a moving and storage company that comes with great reviews, experience in the Katy area, and personable staff.

Who do I need to advise that I have moved?

Your first move should be to complete an address change with the United States Postal Service. But there are several contacts you need to initiate – friends and family, of course. Then you should notify your utility providers of the need for a transfer or shut off. Your bank and insurance company should also be notified. Changes should be made to any subscription services, credit card companies, and your auto lender.

You will need a bag that will carry anything your family will need the day before your move until a few days after.  This includes pet food, snacks, toiletries, paper plates and towels, chargers, clothes, medications, toys, and important documents.

Which boxes are appropriate for which items?

  • Small boxes are best used for heavy items like books and canned goods.  There are also “book boxes” available.
