Default Smaller containers?

Hi,
Not ready for a move yet, but curious - we will not be moving our furniture so only boxes of photo albums, DVD, a handful of kids toys, clothes, books and other personal possessions. I keep seeing 20 and 40 foot containers talked about but is there a smaller option? I am guessing we wouldn't make a dent in a 20 ft but then again I would say that there would be more than we would get in suitcases. Thanks.

You can get paert containers where you share space with others in your position, but the dimensions of containers is due to the way they are loaded and shipped, so those are the sizes.

You get a shippertoquote on how much stuff you have, they then work it into part of a shared container for you. My take slightly longer for delivery as you ahve to wait for the container to be full.

Move Cube are a good option. Come in 3 sizes and can get a fair bit it. We just moved Oz to UK using the smallest one and got 8 teach chests in

Thank you for your speedy replies. Been looking at the Move Cube just now thanks and it looks on the face of it it looks to be the perfect option for us so thanks for that one.

For the movecube quote, does anyone know how to add another box? With the quoting I can only see how to add one small, medium or large box and no way to add another sized box to the quote?
