Drop boxes are just that. An option. I wouldn't use them for anything of value or needs proof it was returned. I will 100 percent go into a store and drop off to get a receipt. Don't use Dropbox for any company FedEx, UPS, USPS More on reddit.com

I’m not sure how much experience you have moving. You will not have the same amount of things as you think you do. With everything spread out and unpacked in a house/apartment, you don’t mentally understand how much space it takes up. Even compressed, deconstructed and tightly packed, things take up space (and weight). I chose a Ubox because the shipping option was either going to be individual boxes/totes with a label slapped on them, or everything on a bare pallet in totes and exposed. With the Ubox, everything is protected from the elements and immediately behind lock and key you have control of. I just felt it was all going to be secure and I had more control of protecting my things this way. I suggest packing everything you think you are going to keep, even if you immediately will unpack it to use it before you move, to give you a mental and visual check to see how much you will have. I thought I had downsized to only a few boxes myself and that my Ubox would end up being half empty. I completely filled it. But it’s because I had two wire shelves I kept up to hold the smaller boxes and knickknacks. And I had forgotten to take into account the actual mass of my bed as well supplies for my pets. It sounds like you don’t plan to have that. I don’t have anything like appliances, couches/chairs or coffee tables and hutches etc. even my bed frame folds up. I had a stack of various 20, 30, and 40 gallon totes that ended up being twelve total and 5 gallon totes for books that ended up being six total. I would say the totes took up about half of the volume of the Ubox to give you a mental visual. Measurements also helped, I actually took some painters tape, and marked out a corner of a room the measurements for the Ubox to do a trial of packing my totes, to see if everything would fit before I ordered it.
