Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our packing tips & guidance service.

Use small boxes (16x10x10) for books and heavy items. Books are dense — filling a large box makes it too heavy to lift safely. Maximum gross weight for standard boxes is typically 65 lbs.
Label every box on at least two sides with the destination room and a brief contents description. Mark fragile items clearly. Use a numbering system to track your total box count.
