What is the best way to measure the space for box calculation?

The best way to measure space accurately is to use measuring tools such as a tape measure, ruler, or measuring wheel. If you don’t have a tape measure, you’ll be doing yourself a favor by buying one now - you’re gonna need it eventually.

How do I choose the right box size for my needs?

Figuring out the right box size for an item (or several items) starts with the items themselves. Are they fragile? Are they unstable? Do they need extra support? Choose the right box size by considering factors such as weight, fragility, size, and volume of the items you need to pack.

Should I round up or down when calculating boxes?

Round up. Always. It’s better to have a little bit of extra room (that can be filled with packing peanuts, newspaper, or clothes) than to be short a box. Round up the number of boxes needed to make sure you have enough space to pack all your items.

How do I factor in the weight and strength of the boxes?

Stronger is better, but more expensive. Boxes will typically show a weight limit on the side, so keep that in mind when you’re loading everything up. We don’t expect you to put every single item on a scale before boxing it up, but keep in mind that every box has its limits.

Why do I need extra space?

You’ll need extra space in your boxes for your padding. You should always leave a tiny bit of wiggle room in a box so you can add stuffing such as newspaper or spare clothes.
