Solution
Sliding friction is less than the static friction.
Explanation:
When the box starts sliding, the contact points on its surface, do not get enough time to lock into the contact points on the floor. So, the sliding friction is slightly smaller than the static friction, and you find it easier to move the box when it is already in motion than to get it started.
