How Shipping Large Boxes Works

If you are shipping 15+ boxes or oversized and heavy boxes that you will pack,  our logistics specialists may recommend our White Glove Consolidated box shipping service. If you are moving your entire home long distance, need faster delivery, or need help packing your boxes, our Full Service Expedited service is often the best option. To ship 15 or fewer medium-sized packed boxes, our flat rate Box-And-Ship program may be the most cost-effective choice. The exact cost of your box shipment will depend on the size and number of boxes you’re shipping, the distance they will travel, and any special considerations such as fragile contents or palletization. Some service options may be more cost-effective than others if you also have some to ship or are flexible with your timing.

TSI helped my move be easy and less stress. They saved me a lot of money, and I would use them again for a smaller scale move like my own. Kathy made everything easy from start to finish. I truly appreciated her help!

I researched shipping companies. After talking to Tom Tract several times, I was convinced that this company was the most trusted to ship some special heirlooms from Georgia to California. All personnel involved in this move were professional… More ›

Shipping Large Boxes FAQ's

What can I pack in a box for shipping?

Clothes, dishes, pots & pans, knick knacks, and small furniture items can all be safely packed into boxes for shipping. Your furniture and appliances should always be blanket wrapped (or crated) and shipped using White Glove services. 

If you have a lot of items in varying sizes and need several boxes, our flat rate box-and-ship solution is based on the number of boxes you need to ship and the service level you choose. We'll send you the empty boxes to fill up, then come get them and deliver them to their destination. All you have to do is pack them up!

How do I choose the right box for shipping my items?

  • Using the right box is essential for keeping your items safe during transport. Follow these tips when choosing and packing boxes:
  • Purchase new boxes for fragile or valuable items. Used boxes are more likely to tear or sustain damage in transit.
  • Sturdy used boxes can be used for soft, unbreakable items like clothes or linens
  • Don’t use boxes that are too large. Empty space allows your items to shift during transit and may cause damage. If your boxes are too large, use clothing, linens, packing paper, or bubble wrap to fill empty spaces.
  • Make sure you use heavy-duty double-walled boxes for large, fragile, and heavy items.

Where is the best place to get packing supplies?

The best place to get packing supplies depends on what supplies you need. New boxes and packing materials can be purchased from storage companies and DIY movers. If you’re moving your entire household, you can also purchase a moving kit that contains everything you’ll need to pack your belongings. TSI sells moving kits here. We ship them right to your door, making this all-in-one solution as simple and straightforward as possible. 

If you need help packing your belongings, check out our blog for detailed packing tips and advice.

Our shipping specialists are also here to walk you through the entire process, including finding the right packaging materials for your shipment and ensuring your boxes are secure and ready for transport. Don’t hesitate to ask them for packing advice by calling us at 1-800-626-1257.

Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?

Our shipping solutions for large boxes include inside pickup and delivery, so someone will need to be present on both ends of transport.

What is TSI's service area for shipping boxes?

With TSI, we can ship your large boxes to and from all 48 contiguous states (every US state, except for Alaska and Hawaii). We do not offer international moving or shipping services. We specialize in providing shipping services cross country or any distance longer than 150 miles.

How long does it take to ship large boxes?

Typically for box shipments, you will provide a general timeframe for pickup. For longer distances, transport will usually take 2-4 weeks and you will be notified 48 hours before delivery. Ask your specialist if you have very specific needs, but we are able to keep shipping costs affordable for your large boxes with general pickup and delivery windows.

How much does TSI's large box shipping cost?

Exact pricing depends on several factors including the size and number of boxes, distance traveled, special considerations like fragile contents or palletization, whether furniture items are included, and your timing flexibility. TSI recommends requesting an online quote for instant pricing, and a logistics expert will reach out to discuss your specific shipment details.
