  1. I would use boxes just slightly bigger than records. I used these the last time - https://www.movingboxes.ca/products-page/boxes-bundles/small-moving-boxes/

    See if you can find something with similar dimensions. If you find a place that sells moving boxes, just buy one, take it home, fill it up, and see how they fit (remember if you have any box sets, they are typically a little bigger). I would always fill the boxes - not crazy tight but snug. The snugger they are, the more they protect each other. You want to avoid points where there can be any bend or give. I don't know if you have specific back issues but a 1.5 cubic foot box is about 50 pounds full I would guess, maybe 70. You can probably get like 50 - 70 singles discs. Pretty heavy but manageable. Others may have different opinions, but I would leave the vinyl in the sleeves. There shouldn't be much moving around if the boxes are full.

    Feel free to tell me I'm full of shit.

    I don't have a particular back issue or anything, but I use my back a lot at work and I just don't want to pull anything. Discomfort comes easy to me. I went to U-Haul today and bought four small boxes (they call them book boxes I guess) and I filled those up. I put the cardboard that's usually in LP mailers for protection around the edges of the box and that seemed to make a perfect fit. I have a few box sets, not many (I think four or five) and those fit in beautifully. I made sure I didn't make the boxes too heavy and even when they're full they're not heavy at all. They're not going to be in these boxes long since the first thing I'm setting up at my new house is the turntable and my record collection (gotta listen to tunes while I'm setting up the house). You're suggestion really helped and you're not full of shit. It was the response I was looking for. Thank you very much for the suggestions and insight. Now I just gotta get a PO Box until I'm in the new place. I have a lot of records coming really soon.

  2. So here's the deal, I'm moving and I need to pack up my collection, but I really have no idea how to move records. I'm moving out of a house I've been in since '99 and I never thought I'd need to figure this out. I'm not moving far and these records might be in my car for maybe 8 hours, if that. I'm trying to figure out the proper way to move these without damaging my collection.

    - What's the best box to use?

    - Should I take the records out of their sleeves and place them in the poly sleeve with the album sleeve?

    - How many records should be in a box without throwing out my back?

    I know this may seem dumb to ask all these things, but I really need some help with this. I tried searching for threads, but I couldn't really find anything with all the answers I'm looking for. Thank you in advance!

  3. Didn't want to bump the Beatles thread just for my review.

    But my box is perfect, everything is brilliant and is well worth the money if you do get a quality box.

    Very unfortunate that the quality control has been subpar with this release, as the remastering is brilliant

    This gives me hope, and I hope I get one that's perfect. Abbey Road seems to be the biggest complaint so that will be the first one I go to.
