When you hear the phrase “moving boxes,” you probably picture your standard corrugated box – and you’re absolutely right! But picture this: U-Haul moving boxes stretch far beyond the corrugated variety.
Moving Boxes
We can’t talk about U-Haul moving boxes without mentioning these corrugated masterpieces. Designed to last you four moves or 10-12 years in storage, our core selection of corrugated boxes is the bread and butter of our moving supplies. They range from small to extra-large, and each is rated to 65 lbs.
Chances are, our core selection of boxes is not news to you. But did you know that we also have specialty boxes for specific household items? Have some clothes that you want to keep on hangers while you move? The Wardrobe box is there for you. Have some glassware from the kitchen that you want to keep in one piece during your move? The Dish Saver Kit has you covered. With our specialty boxes, no packing dilemma is insurmountable.
When to use:
- When you’re moving and want to protect your items during transit
- When placing items in short- or long-term storage
- When packing books, mirrors, TVs, delicate clothing, dishes, electronics, and more!
- When shipping items
Collegeboxes®
No need to re-purchase boxes each semester – Collegeboxes will last you over four years!
For some students, moving back to campus means reuniting with roommates, friends, and the liberating feeling of being on your own. For other students, it means constant stress, little-to-no sleep, and ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Regardless of your outlook on the college experience, one thing can be agreed upon: moving your stuff should be the least of your worries.
That’s where Collegeboxes® comes in! But what sets them apart from your typical box?
- Sturdy, double walled boxes for maximum stacking and shipping safety
- One size fits all – 24x16x18
- Each box can hold up to 106 lbs. of gross weight
- Meet FedEx and UPS standards for shipping
CollegeBoxes® are shipped right to your door in packs of five. Included in the shipment is a supply kit, featuring a marker, tape, zip ties, and labels. As a bonus, you can use the supply kit box as the sixth box for shipping!
When to use:
- When you go to any of these colleges
- When moving out after the Spring semester
- When moving onto campus for the Fall semester
- When storing for Winter break
- When studying abroad
