What size boxes do movers prefer?

A 3.0 cubic foot box is the Goldilocks of the moving box world. It can fit almost anything from lamps, kitchen supplies, and even pots and pans. The 3.0 cubic foot box is the most commonly used size box for moving, meaning you should have a lot of these on hand. Medium boxes (18 x 18 x 15 inches, 22 x 16 x 15 inches or 3 cubic feet): The most common moving box, this size is good for office supplies, records, toys, small appliances, decor, photo albums and most household items. On average, a 3-bedroom property (excluding garage, shed, and garden) has a volume of 1750ft3 to move. We would call this a 140-box move split as follows: 20 book boxes. 90 regular boxes. On average, packing a 3-bedroom house will cost £450. This cost includes the use of 50 large, 20 small moving boxes and the packing labour. Ultimately, the cost comes down to how many items need to be packed and moved, therefore, the fewer boxes you have, the cheaper it will be.
