Moving Supplies
Buy Early and Pack Early Buy plenty of boxes and start packing them as soon
as you can so when moving day comes you'll fully prepared to wheel them up a
U-Haul loading ramp with our easy-to-handle utility dolly. And then you'll be on
your way.
Our unique Box Worksheet was developed based on our long years of experience helping
families just like yours move safely, easily and economically. So whether you buy our
minimum amount of boxes or let a
U-Haul representative customize your box requirements,
we'll work closely with you to make sure that you get just what you need to make your
move a real pleasure.
When you move with U-Haul, you have access to our complete
product line, which is specifically designed and selected with the do-it-yourself mover
in mind. We can meet all your needs -- whether for specialty boxes for dishes, carton-sealing
tape, security locks, packing supplies like wrapping paper and cushioning foam, and work
gloves to protect your hands when moving furniture or other household goods. U-Haul has
it all.

1. Group items of similar size and weight.
Try not to mix belongings from different rooms of your home. First,
pour a layer of packing peanuts into the bottom of the box. Wrap
heaviest items first with bubble wrap or packing paper and place
them in the bottom of the box.

2. Wrap additional, lighter items with bubble
wrap or packing paper and separate them from items in the bottom of
the box with cushion foam. Place heavier items on the bottom and
lighter items on top.

3. Before closing your box, cushion the
entire package using packing peanuts or crumpled packing paper
stuffed firmly into unfilled spaces to prevent shifting and damage
to your goods. Your filled box should not weigh more than about 30
pounds, or that which you can lift easily. Underpacked boxes may
collapse in transit, while overpacked boxes can rupture, damaging
belongings.

4. Close the box and seal it with sturdy
packing tape. Label the box with it's contents and destination
room.
