    Packing tips

      How it works: each room type has a typical mix of box sizes (for example a kitchen needs mostly small and medium boxes plus dish packs, a bedroom more large boxes and a wardrobe box), adjusted for how much you own. Totals land inside the ranges moving companies publish for each home size. Box sizes are typical US moving boxes and vary by store. Results are planning estimates, so check your closets, cabinets and garage before you buy.
