Special supplies
Mattress bags, picture boxes, TV boxes, file boxes, and furniture pads depend on what you actually own. Mark those add-ons in the calculator instead of treating every move like a full-house move.
What not to estimate blindly
Do not use a box calculator to decide whether hazardous, flammable, or restricted materials can be moved. Check your mover rules, local rules, and common-sense safety instructions before packing those items.
