Moving Supplies Delivered to Your Door

How many moving boxes do you need?

The right number of boxes depends on your home size and how much you own, but these are reliable starting points for a Boston move:

• Studio / 1-bedroom: 15–25 boxes (a mix of small, medium, and large) plus 2–3 wardrobe boxes
• 2-bedroom apartment: 30–45 boxes plus 3–4 wardrobe boxes and a couple of dish-pack kits
• 3-bedroom home: 50–70 boxes plus 4–6 wardrobe boxes and extra dish packs
• 4+ bedroom home: 75–100+ boxes — a full bundle is the most economical way to cover it

Which box sizes and supplies to buy

Small boxes are for heavy, dense items (books, canned goods, tools); medium boxes are the all-purpose workhorse; large boxes are for light, bulky items (linens, pillows, lampshades). Add dish-pack boxes for kitchens, wardrobe boxes so clothes move on the hanger, and specialty mirror or picture boxes for art and glass. Round it out with packing paper, bubble wrap, 2-inch packing tape, and a marker for labeling. Our pre-assembled bundles above package the right mix for each home size so you don't have to guess.
