Our moving boxes are the same as professional removal companies use.

NO.

Beware of odd sized moving boxes.
You need a box to help you move not hinder you when you move. Our moving boxes are Modular, that is that when you load them onto van they are all the same size except in height. When you stand 3 of the small boxes on top of each other, they stack together to be the same in height as the largest box. One medium box with a small one on top is also the same in height etc. This makes loading the van a lot simpler.

Beware of weak and flimsy moving boxes.
Our moving boxes are also strong boxes and won't fall apart when you are carrying them. We cannot think of anything worse than walking to the van in the rain and the bottom of your removal box falls out and you have to start picking things up from the floor.

Beware of small moving boxes that you can only fit a teapot in.
Our moving boxes are also quite large moving boxes the smallest moving box is 18"x18"x10" 455mm x 455mm x 249mm, the medium sized moving box is 18"x18"x20" 452mm x 452mm x 493mm and the largest moving box is 18"x18"x30" 452mm x 452mm x 747mm. Don't be fooled by packs that offer 50 moving boxes in a pack, at a really cheap price. Are they strong enough to carry your precious belongings? Are they large enough? When you have them at home and find that all you can put inside them is a teapot you realise you will probably need all 50 boxes. The more boxes you use the more times you will have to walk back and forth to the van. After a long day moving house you will not like the tiny boxes and the vast amount of them you have which seemed so appealing at the time of purchase.

The three different sizes are used are dependent on the weight of the items to packed. Books and paper, cd's, dvd's, records and videos are all surprisingly heavy once placed inside a box. The smaller box is ideal as you will still be able to lift it. The medium sized box is ideal for everything else. The largest box really needs to be packed with bulky light items, soft toys, bedding, lamps and plants (remember to empty any water out).
