Guide
Which box (and how many) to choose
Two sizes — Standard for small heavy items, Plus for the bulk of everyday things — plus the Smart Pack, which combines them at a reduced price. Here we help you figure out what you actually need — without paying for space you won't use.
Why two boxes, not one giant
An “XXL” box sounds handy, but in practice it causes more problems than it solves. That's why the Smart Pack — one Plus plus one Standard — is the smarter choice.
Weight under control
Each box holds up to 20 kg: beyond that, the bottom gives way. With two boxes you move up to 40 kg in total, split into loads one person can actually lift — without risking your back or your things.
Easier to move
Two normal-sized boxes are far easier to carry, stack and load into a car than a single oversized, bulky and unstable one.
Better protected
Spreading things across two boxes avoids cramming everything together: less crushing weight, fewer knocks, fewer breakages in transit.
Tidier
Heavy and compact in the Standard, bulky and light in the Plus: you find everything in its place when you open the boxes again.
The boxes we provide
We supply the boxes: two sizes plus the Smart Pack, in double-wall cardboard. Each one holds up to 20 kg — beyond that the bottom gives way, better to spread across more boxes.
STANDARD
40 × 30 × 30 cm
Volume up to 36 L
Max 20 kg
The right size for small, dense items. It fills up faster than you'd think.

PLUS
60 × 40 × 40 cm

- Mixed room items
SMART PACK
1 Plus + 1 Standard
Volume up to 132 L total
20 kg per box (40 kg total)

Practical examples by profile
Not sure where to start? These three profiles cover most of the cases among our students.
Just the essentials
Short Erasmus (1-3 months)
1× Smart Pack
Study books, a few clothing changes, personal items. The minimum to free your room without keeping too much.
Whole period
Full academic year
3× Smart Pack + 1× Plus
The typical setup for an off-site student: books, wardrobe, accessories, linens. Shelves and wardrobes get fully cleared.
Everything out
End of term / clearing the room
2× Smart Pack + 3× Plus
You need to vacate the room on a tight schedule. Lots of clothes, linens, a duvet and some bulky items. Few books — they stay home or get resold.
You can mix the sizes
You can book different sizes in the same order — for example 2× Plus and 1× Standard. Each one is charged at its own rate, no mix constraints; every Plus+Standard pair in your cart automatically gets the Smart Pack price.
Mini-quiz: find your ideal mix
Two questions, an instant estimate. It's a starting point, not an exact calculation — at pickup you only pay for the boxes you actually hand over.
