Moving Supplies Showroom at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Gainesville

Our standard moving boxes come in four sizes: small (16-3/8" X 12-5/8" X 12-5/8"), medium (18-1/8" X 18" X 18"), large (18" X 18" X 24"), and extra-large (24" X 18" X 24"). These and most U-Haul Specialty Boxes are designed with dimension increments that closely match common household furniture dimension increments. This allows for strategic stacking in a moving truck or container to prevent load shifts that lead to damage. Use U-Haul boxes to easily create tiers and fill gaps when loading your moving truck for a safer and more efficient move.

U-Haul moving boxes are designed for multiple uses. We recommend using our Heavy-Duty Moving Boxes for extra durability and strength, which feature double wall construction for added protection and cushion. Most specialty U-Haul moving boxes (like the Large and Extra-Large TV moving box, for example) use a double wall construction.

Yes, you can return your unused moving boxes to any U-Haul store nationwide with a receipt, including our location. U-Haul offers 100% buy-back on all unused moving boxes with receipt. Please note that moving supplies need to be returned by mail.

We recommend buying your moving boxes by the bundle to save money on packing supplies. U-Haul offers 100% buy-back on all your unused boxes with a receipt at any U-Haul location. You can also try finding lightly used boxes at the Take a Box, Leave a Box station.

There are several ways to get moving boxes and other packing supplies without waiting in line at the counter. You can order online and pick up your items for free from our U-Haul showroom, order online and choose Same Day Delivery, or use U-Haul Self-Checkout for a 100% contactless checkout.

That all depends on how much stuff you're packing. To figure out how many moving boxes you need, try using the U-Haul Moving Supplies calculator on our website. We recommend buying more than you think you'll need, if possible, so you don't run out of boxes at the wrong time. Keep in mind that when you buy boxes from U-Haul, you can return your unused boxes at any U-Haul Moving & Storage Center with a receipt for a full refund.
