Heights homes need different supplies than tract-home suburbs — antique picture-glass mirrors, custom-built china cabinets, framed art from the local gallery walks, and vintage kitchenware collected over decades in the same Norhill bungalow. Our supply kits for Heights DIY packers include double-walled dish packs, glassine paper for silverware, and mirror-corner protectors as standard.
Drop by the 11th Street yard weekdays or we'll deliver a supply kit straight to your Heights address — bungalow-size (30 medium/15 large/5 dish packs) or townhouse-size (18 medium/8 large/3 dish packs). Unused boxes come back for a refund; used ones don't.
Why New Boxes Matter
Free liquor-store cartons and once-used moving cartons lose their crush resistance the moment they've held weight. That 50-pound book box you dragged up from Yale Street ready-return has already been compromised, and it usually gives way on the stair landing carrying a full load of hardcovers.
The counter carries new double-walled kraft cartons in every standard cube size: small (1.5 cu ft), medium (3.0 cu ft), large (4.5 cu ft), and extra-large (6.0 cu ft). Specialty stock includes cell-divider dish packs, wardrobes with a steel hanger bar, four-piece mirror kits, and flat-screen TV cartons that fit up to 85 inches.
Order boxes as singles or grab a pre-built kit sized for a studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom household.
Packing Materials We Carry
Cartons aren't the whole kit. The counter stocks unprinted newsprint (no ink transfer onto porcelain), small-bubble and large-bubble rolls, industrial stretch wrap (for finish protection and bundling table legs), and cell-foam pouches keyed to plate diameters and stemware.
Tape range covers standard 2-inch clear packing tape, red "Fragile" flag tape, and color-coded room ID tape (green for kitchen, red for master, etc.) that pays back at unpack time.
Pickup and Delivery Options
Walk-in pickup runs all day at the 11th Street counter during posted hours. If the pack is mid-flight and you can't step away, same-day supply delivery is on the schedule for orders clearing $75 inside the service radius.
Over-ordered? Buy-back on unused, unopened cartons runs 50 percent of ticket price, so it costs nothing to grab a few extras rather than stopping the pack halfway to reorder.
Same-Day Box Drops to Norhill and Wardrobe Kits for Pre-War Closets
Supply demand in this pocket runs heaviest around Norhill and Brooke Smith — small pre-war closets that eat wardrobe boxes at twice the rate of a modern floor plan. Same-day drop routes leave the 11th Street yard at 9 AM and 2 PM covering Shady Acres, Cottage Grove, and Independence Heights. Dish packs with double-cell partitions ship with any order over $200, because 1920s china cabinets are still standing in half these houses.

Do you buy back unused boxes?
Yes — we purchase unused, undamaged boxes at 50% of the original purchase price after your move. No receipt required.
What supplies do I need for a two-bedroom apartment?
A typical two-bedroom apartment needs approximately 30–40 boxes (mix of small, medium, and large), 2–3 rolls of packing paper, one roll of bubble wrap, 6 rolls of packing tape, and 2 wardrobe boxes. We sell pre-bundled kits sized for each apartment type. Call (346) 853-7110 to order.
