Hottest is definately small boxes.

My orginal rope from 3.5 years ago, is still sitting on the shelf.

Hottest item is medium boxes, with moving peanuts being the slowest!

Hottest moving item --- Queen sized mattress bags

Slowest mover --- wrapping paper --- have only sold one in 4 years.

Other top movers are locks, rope, other mattress bags, and of course boxes of all sizes.

What I have discovered is that what is hot here this month, and I stock up on, will be replaced by some other item next month, that i don't have enough of.

Well, we lowered our box prices for April and the X-large boxes have been flying out the door. The peanuts and poly rope are slow moving.

I have yet to sell any peanuts, and from what I hear the damp rid that we have for sale has been here longer than out manager lol.

I have sold A LOT of wrapping paper, and the people who buy it usually buy several boxes.

Also, just sold 5 dish/glass packing kits to one customer.

My hot items are the medium and extra large boxes and packing tape.

My slow items - cotton gloves. Finally gave 'em to the maintenance guy and won't offer them any more after those sat for at least a year and a half. I also almost never sell the customized dish or glass sets.
