Do I need a 20 ft or 40 ft container for my move?

A 20 ft container fits most 2 to 3 bedroom homes, a 40 ft fits larger houses.

A 20 ft container fits most 2 to 3 bedroom homes. A 40 ft container suits a larger house with more furniture. Most families moving overseas fit comfortably in a 20 ft box.

Size by what you own, not just the bedroom count. A lightly furnished three bedroom condo may fit a 20 ft with room to spare. A four bedroom house with a garage, tools, and patio furniture usually needs the 40 ft. Sofas, beds, and appliances decide the size more than boxes do. Big extras like pianos and workshop gear eat space fast.

You do not have to guess. 1Pro surveys your home first, free, onsite or on video. The survey takes minutes and costs nothing. Then we quote the container size that actually fits your goods. If you land between sizes, we talk through trimming items or sharing container space instead.

You never load the box yourself. Our crew loads and secures everything at your door. We plan the loading order too, so heavy items sit low and padded. A tight, braced load travels the ocean far better than a loose one. Read more about container shipping and overseas moving. Ask about both sizes when you request your free estimate.
