How many moving boxes do you need?

Use these rough counts to pick a package before you reserve. If you are between sizes, size up and give yourself some packing margin.

See pricing

Studio or 1-bedroom move

Most people start around 20 to 30 moving boxes, depending on how much kitchen gear, clothing, and garage overflow they have.

2-bedroom move

A typical 2-bedroom move usually needs around 40 to 50 moving boxes, especially when both bedrooms, the kitchen, and a storage closet are all in play.

3-bedroom or larger move

Larger homes usually need 60 or more moving boxes. If you are on the edge, size up instead of hoping the smaller stack will somehow cover it.

Studio

20 totes

Best for a studio, a light 1-bedroom, or a partial move where the furniture load stays small.

Starts at $199 for 2 weeks

1-bedroom

30 totes

The usual fit for a true 1-bedroom move with a normal kitchen, closet load, and everyday household overflow.

Starts at $249 for 2 weeks

2-bedroom

40 totes

A solid starting point when both bedrooms, the kitchen, and a hallway or linen closet are all moving.

Starts at $319 for 2 weeks

3-bedroom

55 totes

A better fit once the move includes kid gear, office items, fuller closets, or some garage spillover.

Starts at $429 for 2 weeks

4-bedroom

75 totes

Use this when the whole house is moving and you want real packing margin instead of filling every tote to the edge.

If you are stuck between two package sizes, go up one level. It is usually better to have a few empties left at the end than to run short mid-pack.

When to size up

These are the usual reasons a move needs more boxes than the bedroom count alone would suggest.

  • You have a full kitchen, pantry, or a lot of small appliances.
  • Books, office gear, toys, or seasonal bins already eat up closet space.
  • Garage shelves, sports equipment, or holiday storage will move with you.
  • You want packing slack instead of trying to fill every box perfectly.
