Frequently asked questions
Is the Box Finder exact?
No. It provides a starting range because belongings, room sizes and packing styles vary widely.
What if I own many books?
Increase the number of compact cartons. Books become heavy quickly and should not be packed into large boxes.
Should I buy only one box size?
A mix is normally better: small for dense items, medium for general use and large for lightweight bulky items.
How much spare capacity should I allow?
A buffer of around ten percent can prevent last-minute shortages without adding too much excess.
What else should I order with boxes?
Most moves need packing tape, a dispenser, labels, paper or bubble wrap and stretch wrap for grouped items.
