U-Haul Apartment Moving Kit vs UBMOVE Basic Moving Boxes Kit #1

The U-Haul kit is the stronger choice for most apartment moves. It gives you 21 boxes in a wider mix of sizes, including a dish kit, TV cover, and queen mattress and box spring bags, so one purchase covers a studio or one-bedroom. UBMOVE's kit is smaller at 18 boxes with only two sizes, but it adds a tape dispenser, marker, and wrapping paper. Reviewers rate the U-Haul kit higher on a much smaller sample; UBMOVE has more ratings and a solid but lower score. U-Haul boxes are rated for 65 pounds and the small and medium boxes have perforated handles.

  • Choose the U-Haul Apartment Moving Kit if you are packing a studio or one-bedroom and want boxes, dish protection, a TV cover, and mattress bags in one order.
  • Choose the UBMOVE Basic Moving Boxes Kit #1 if you want a simpler two-size box set with tape, a dispenser, wrapping paper, and a marker for a small move.

What reviewers say

U-Haul Apartment Moving Kit

  • 4.8 / 513 ratings

Owners rate the kit highly and describe it as a practical one-order solution for small apartments. The recurring notes are that the box mix runs short for heavier packers and that the bedding bags fit queen beds only.

What people mention
  • Box mixMixedSome owners find the small and medium boxes run out before the large ones do.
  • HandlesPraisedBuyers like the perforated handles on the small and medium boxes for carrying.
  • Dish protectionPraisedThe Dish Saver kit and Glasspack box are called out for keeping plates and glassware intact.
  • Bedding bagsCriticisedThe mattress and box spring bags fit queen beds only, which limits who the kit suits.

Questions and answers

Which kit is better for a one-bedroom apartment?
The U-Haul kit. Its 21 boxes in four sizes plus the dish kit, TV cover, and mattress bags cover a one-bedroom move without extra purchases. The UBMOVE kit fits one to three rooms but leaves fragile kitchenware and furniture protection to you.
Which has better boxes?
U-Haul boxes are rated for 65 pounds and the small and medium sizes have perforated handles. UBMOVE does not state a weight rating or list handles, so its boxes are a plainer build.
Do I need to buy tape separately?
With U-Haul, you get two rolls of tape but no dispenser, so add one if you want it. UBMOVE includes 110 yards of tape plus a clamshell dispenser and a marker.
Is the U-Haul kit worth stepping up to?
Yes if you have dishes, a TV, or a queen bed to move. The dish kit, TV cover, and mattress and box spring bags are items you would otherwise buy on their own. If you only need plain boxes and tape, the UBMOVE kit is enough.
Which is better for a studio?
Either works, but the U-Haul kit is sized for a studio to one-bedroom and covers fragile items. The UBMOVE kit is smaller in box count and has no dish or furniture protection.
Which do owners rate higher?
U-Haul scores 4.8 out of 5, but from only 13 ratings. UBMOVE scores 4.3 out of 5 from 46 ratings, a larger sample. Treat the U-Haul score as promising but thin.
