How It Works

The average household uses 30-60 boxes for a move. Small boxes work best for heavy items like books, medium for kitchenware and electronics, and large for linens and pillows. Wardrobe boxes let you transfer hanging clothes directly. Buying a bundled moving kit often saves 20-30% over individual purchases.
