Most student moves are smaller than a full house move, but the details still matter.

Add the full item list

Include boxes, bags, a desk, chair, mattress, bike and anything stored in shared areas. Photos help when you are unsure how much space the load needs.

Check access at both ends

Tell the driver about:

  • floors and lifts
  • halls reception rules
  • loading bays or permits
  • long walks from the van
  • fixed collection times

Moving into storage

Use the storage site as the drop-off address and include the unit or access instructions in the booking notes.

Share the cost separately

One customer books and pays Boxra in the app. Flatmates can settle their share separately. The driver must never ask for cash.
