Review on Uboxes Moving Kit - 14 Brown Kraft Boxes, Packing Supplies, And Tape For A Spacious Room Move by Fernando Wolford

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quality boxes, fraudulent size!

So, this is our fourth move in less than 5 years. Usually, I go to U-Haul to purchase moving supplies, specifically boxes. However, I hate having to pay money for cardboard that is good for 1-2 uses, and recycled bc they're done. So, I decided to check out Revain's prices, read reviews on many of the offered packages. Since this has such good ratings compared to the rest, a decent price, and additional supplies, I figured I'd try it.Pros:-Boxes are new, never used, sturdy, thick and overall good quality.-tape dispenser is not cheap or flimsy. ( *con: No tape included.)-colored tape labels are bold, have a good amount of length to them, it appears. Not sure about effectiveness bc have yet to use.-packing paper is nice addition and thick.-marker: brand new, but haven't used.CONS: (and this alone is a deal breaker for me, had I come across someone else's review advising of this.)-THESE ARE NOT, IN ANYWAY LARGE/MEDIUM size boxes! They barely classify as medium/small.-You are actually paying MORE for this set of 14 smaller boxes than you would for 15 Real-Size LARGE boxes. Meaning, this entire "package" is about twice the price of what it should be. Yes, the additional items are nice, but they were NOT what sold me on this item.Extremely disappointed, but returning for a refund would only result in losing more money. My initial plan was to try them out and order more. But NOPE! Instead, I'll iust make use of these too small for much of anything ones, and go to u-haul for the rest.

Pros
  • The boxes are uniform in size, making them easy to pack and stack
Cons
  • Tape may not be strong enough for heavy items
