BOX PLANNING QUESTIONS
How many boxes do I need to move?+
Plan for about 15–25 standard cartons for a 1 bedroom home, 30–45 for 2 bedrooms, 50–70 for 3 bedrooms and 70–90+ for 4 bedrooms. Start lower after a strong declutter; move higher for books, a full kitchen, wardrobes, garage, balcony or storage cage.
How many boxes for a 1 bedroom apartment?+
Allow roughly 15–25 standard cartons. JB's practical starting package uses 25: 15 medium boxes for books, kitchenware and everyday items, plus 9 large boxes and 1 porta-robe. Add more for a full kitchen, balcony, books or storage cage.
How many boxes for a 2 bedroom house?+
Allow roughly 30–45 standard cartons. JB starts at 47 items: 25 medium boxes, 20 large boxes and 2 porta-robes. A lightly furnished apartment may use less; a house with a study, children, outdoor items or storage will usually sit near the upper end.
How many boxes for a 3 bedroom house?+
JB's family starting point uses 76 items: 40 medium boxes, 32 large boxes and 4 porta-robes. Choose the lower end for a compact, decluttered home; use the full starting point for a well-stocked kitchen, children's rooms, books or garage contents.
How many boxes for a 4 bedroom house?+
Start with the editable 3 bedroom package, then add another 10–20 cartons when the home has multiple wardrobes, a double garage, a large kitchen, outdoor equipment or stored belongings. Use Plan My Move when volume or access is unusual.
Where do I get boxes for moving?+
Reliable options include a removalist, specialist box retailer, hardware store or storage supplier. Free reused cartons can reduce cost, but inspect them for damp, pests, crushed corners and weak bases. JB sells complete packages and individual brand-new materials.
Can I buy moving boxes online?+
Choose a home-size package or individual brand-new products, edit every quantity, review the GST-inclusive goods total, then request Sydney delivery, depot collection or connection to an existing JB move. JB confirms stock, timing and any delivery fee before booking.
