The Science of Moving

How does
the engine work?

### 1. Fragile Item Count Select the density of your kitchenware, glassware, and electronics. These require the highest volume of cushioning materials. ### 2. Furniture Surface Area List major furniture pieces like sofas and beds. We calculate the linear feet of corrugated sheets and stretch wrap needed to prevent scuffs. ### 3. Wardrobe Assessment Define how many wardrobes you are moving. We calculate the requirement for specialized 'Hanger Boxes' vs 'Standard Moving Boxes'. ### 4. Verified BOM Unlock a 'Bill of Materials' (BOM) report that lists every item you need to buy or request from your mover for a premium packing experience.
