That’s why those heavy breakables go in the dish barrels if you’re a professional or heavy duty small boxes if you’re a DIYer

I’m not saying it’s impossible just inefficient at “moving house” scale. My kitchen would need at least 100 of those to get packed. Then you have to move hundreds of small boxes….

First, your hardware store is a ripoff. (Mini storages also do this) it’s the cost of convenience. Do you really want to make a separate trip to save $2/box?

For the record small boxes should be around $1 and larger ones for $3-4 depending on if they are triple walled corrugated or regular.

Having new boxes delivered is motivating, saves time, and you can get packing materials too. New boxes are delivered flat with the flaps attached so before you tape the bottom you can fold the flaps down and they’re kept out of your way. Every little bit of effort saved counts when it comes to packing a whole house

Do you realize how small 12x12x6” really is? 0.5cubic feet.

Now picture how many you’d need to fit all your stuff.

Now imagine having to unpack hundreds of tiny moving boxes lol
