BoxValet
Pickup Day Made Simple
You’ve reserved your BoxValet bundle—now it’s time to pick up your bins in Atlanta. But before you head over, there’s one important question:
Will they fit in your car?
With BoxValet’s convenient self-service pickup model, you save on delivery—but it helps to know if your vehicle is up to the task. Here’s a breakdown of how many bins you can expect to transport based on your vehicle type and the bundle you’ve selected.
Bin Size Breakdown
Each BoxValet bin is:
-
27” long
-
17” wide
-
12” high
-
7.7 lbs empty
-
Stackable up to 4–5 high in most vehicles
They’re easy to load, safe for car interiors, and can be arranged upright or laid flat depending on your cargo space.
Bundle Size Comparison & Vehicle Recommendations
1 Bedroom Bundle — 20 Bins
-
Fits in: Chevrolet Trax, Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, Hyundai Tuscan, Mazda CX-5 (similar or larger)
-
Tips: Fold down the back seats and start stacking bins from the trunk forward in two rows, about 3–4 high. Any remaining bins can sit upright on the floor behind the front seats.
✅ Yes, you can fit your 1-bedroom bundle in one trip with a small SUV or crossover.
2 Bedroom Bundle — 40 Bins
-
Recommended vehicle: Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Tahoe (similar or larger)
-
Tips: Fold the second (and third, if available) rows flat. Create a full layer of bins across the cargo area, then stack 2–3 layers high. Use the floor space behind the front seats for any overflow.
🚗 If you’re driving a large mid-large size vehicle, you’ll be able to transport your 2-bedroom bundle in one trip.
3 Bedroom Bundle — 60 Bins
-
Recommended vehicle: GMC Yukon XL, Ford Expedition XL, Honda Odyssey (remove all seats), Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Silverado, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Ford F-150 (similar or larger)
-
Tips: Fold all rear seats flat and pack from the front of the cargo area to the back in tight, even rows, stacking 3–4 bins high. We’ve confirmed that 60 bins fit in an XL SUV like a Denali/Yukon XL with careful stacking.
🧳 A extra large vehicle will get the job done for most 3-bedroom moves. Stack carefully and fill floor space.
4 Bedroom Bundle — 80 Bins
-
Recommended vehicle: Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter (similar or larger)
-
Tips: Lay a solid first layer of bins across the van floor from wall to wall, then stack straight columns upward toward the ceiling. Keep stacks even in height and leave a narrow aisle if possible for safer loading and unloading.
🧭 Cargo vans or larger can fit a 4-bedroom bundle with strategic stacking—bring a helper to load safely.
5 Bedroom Bundle — 100 Bins
-
Recommended vehicle: Small box truck (10'-15') (similar or larger)
-
Tips: Start at the front of the box and stack bins in tight rows floor-to-ceiling before moving backward, keeping stack heights consistent. Avoid large gaps so bins don’t shift, and use straps if you’ll be driving a longer distance.
🚚 For 5-bedroom moves, small box trucks or larger will accommodate 100 bins in one trip if packed efficiently.
📦 Larger homes require serious cargo space. Skip the multiple trips—use a cargo van, truck, or book an Uber Courier to save time or rent a U-Haul Cargo Van online or on-site at our location..
When to Reserve an Uber Courier or U-Haul Rental
If your vehicle can’t accommodate your full bundle or you don’t want to make multiple trips, you can book an Uber Courier or U-Haul Rental right to our Atlanta pickup location.
We recommend scheduling the pickup to match your appointment time and sharing bin size info with your driver:
-
Tell them: 27” x 17” x 12”, 7.7 lbs each, stackable
-
Let them know total quantity
-
Ensure vehicle has flat cargo space (flatten third row seating preferred)
Pro Tips for Easy Pickup
-
Bring a blanket or mat to protect your car’s interior
-
Have bungee cords or straps if stacking high in a pickup truck
-
Snap a quick before photo to remember how bins were arranged
-
