I moved my 5000-7000 collection three times in the last 10 years using The Container Store Supreme Crates, with no damage. They are perfectly sized for records and can safely be stacked 4 levels. They hold 80-100 LPs each.
Moving a 5,000 vinyl LP collection safely
Hello everyone,
I am moving from New York City to the Hudson Valley. I have packed my 5,000 LPs into boxes that are 13 x 13 x 13.
My questions are:
— Is it OK to stack them up to 4 boxes high? 5? 6? Since there is about 1/2 of space left in the top of each box, bubble wrap is laid over the top of the vinyl to fill the remaining gap before closing and sealing the box so that the boxes stay square and don’t collapse.
— When put in a moving truck with a rear cab that is 10 x 26, should I be worried about how hot it will get in there for a 2 hour ride from New York City to the Hudson Valley when the temperature is expected to be about 80 degrees?
Thank you in advance for your helpful advice.
