Moving Boxes Bundle

How many moving boxes do you need for a 3-4 bedroom house? A good amount. Every move is different and not all 3-4 bedroom houses are equal. However, it can hold a ton of stuff. That’s why we recommend a 26-foot truck from U-Haul for a large home like that.

The best place to start for moving boxes for your large home is the 3-4 Bedroom Household Kit. The kit includes supplies that will help you properly pack, organize, protect, and cushion all the items in your home. The quantities of each item in the kit can be adjusted to best fit your moving and packing needs.

What’s in our kit? There are 17 different U-Haul products in the kit we put together, but as we said before you can customize how many of each you need to fit your needs. If you need a better understanding of how many boxes and other supplies you need, use our Moving Supplies Calculator.

Simply enter basic information about your home (how many bedrooms, how much “stuff” you have, what types of rooms you’re packing, etc.) and this tool will recommend various moving supplies and quantities, which you can customize based on your moving needs.

The Moving Boxes

What are the moving boxes you are getting? U-Haul moving boxes are specifically sized and designed to make packing and loading easier. Think about putting a Lego set together and you’re missing a piece. It’s not going together as planned and in the moving world, this means damage to your prized, and often priceless, personal items. That’s because moving with boxes that don’t cube out a moving container or truck well are likely to cause load-shifts. Imagine your kitchen table landing on that expensive vase you purchased from your trip to Italy for your honeymoon.

Most are our standard boxes in different sizes with a few of our specialty boxes mixed in. Standard moving boxes in the bundle are the go-to for packing most of the items around your house.
