Tips for choosing the right size
- Measure your largest items, such as sofas, wardrobes and beds, before you book.
- Leave a little space for a walkway if you will need to reach things at the back.
- Use strong boxes of the same size so they stack safely, with heavy items at the bottom.
- If you are between two sizes, the larger one usually saves a second trip.
- You can switch size later if one is available.
