Don't do it! I did and they all cracked. Even taping did not work. We moved 1200 miles perhaps if you are moving a short distance it would be okay. I moved from FL too so I know the plastic is preferred because of ALL the critters that you may come upon or should I say come upon you LOL. Also don't get your boxes from a box store they are too flimsy. The boxes we got from a moving/storage company were undamaged - the box store boxes twisted and had broken up. After all this believe it or not only 1 Isabelle Bloom statue had it's base cracked so we just glued the Huggers back together.
