Ten-second sizing

How many moving boxes do you need?

Tell us about the place you're leaving, not the one you're going to. We'll size the package for you.

Home size of the place you are leaving
How much stuff, honestly? Pick the packing style that matches you.
Anything that eats boxes? Check all that apply.

Counts are for our 27-gallon plastic boxes. If you're between sizes, go up. Extra boxes are $5 each and empty ones are easier than a last-minute cardboard run. Live plants ride loose, not in boxes, so we don't count them.
