The longer answer

01Free to use on moving day

Yes. We bring wardrobe boxes for your hanging clothes, use them during the move, and take them back once everything is unpacked. There is no charge for that. The $25 you may see on our materials list only applies if you want to keep a box after the move.

02How many we bring

A typical truck arrives with around eight wardrobe boxes. If you have a walk-in closet full of suits and dresses, or several closets, tell us when you book so the crew brings extra. Clothes go straight from your rod onto the metal bar inside the box, still on hangers, and come out the same way at the other end.

Since we collect the boxes again, plan to have closet space ready at the new home so the clothes can come out before the crew leaves.

Keeping a box for storage or later$25 each, on the materials list
Loading-only or unloading-onlyNot included, since we cannot collect them

04Getting ready for the wardrobe boxes

  • Leave clothes on hangers; no need to fold.
  • Group hangers by closet so they land in the right room.
  • Take shoes and bins off the closet floor and box them separately.
  • If you are not unpacking right away, tell the crew. Ask David before move day whether the boxes can be picked up later.

Other supplies, like small and medium boxes, are covered on our packing services page, and the moving checklist helps you plan closet packing.
