The Student Lite Moving Kit is a budget freindly pre-bundled set of everything you need to pack and move a dorm room, residence, or small studio apartment — ordered online and delivered to your door within 48 hours anywhere in Montreal and Laval.
What is in the Student Lite Moving Kit
For $46.99 CAD you get four items that cover a complete small move:
Ten moving boxes at 18 by 18 by 18 inches. Each box holds 5,832 cubic inches which is roughly three full dresser drawers worth of belongings. Single-wall corrugated cardboard, strong enough to hold books without buckling and light enough to carry up a third-floor walkup.
Two rolls of packing tape at 48mm wide by 100 metres long. Industrial-strength acrylic adhesive that seals boxes permanently — no splitting, no peeling. Two rolls is enough to seal all ten boxes top and bottom with room to spare.
One permanent marker for labeling boxes by room or contents. Writes clearly on cardboard and tape so you know exactly where everything is when unpacking.
One box cutter with a retractable blade for safely opening boxes at your new place.
Every item was chosen because it solves a specific problem during a move. Nothing extra, nothing missing.
We also carry other moving supplies that you can add to cart before checkout if required.

Who should order the Student Lite Kit
This kit fits a specific type of move. If you are a university or CEGEP student moving in or out of residence at McGill, Concordia, UdeM, UQAM, Polytechnique, or any Montreal-area school, this kit covers you. If you are renting your first bachelor or studio apartment in the Plateau, NDG, Côte-des-Neiges, or downtown and need boxes fast, this is the right size. If you are storing belongings over the summer or winter break and need clean uniform boxes that stack neatly in a storage locker, ten 18-inch cubes is ideal. And if your move is happening this week and you have no supplies, 48-hour delivery means you can order Tuesday and be packing by Thursday.
This kit is not the right fit if you are moving a full one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, living room, and significant furniture — that requires more boxes, tape, packing paper, and protective wrap. The 1 Bedroom and Studio Moving Kit with 25 boxes and a full accessory set is built for that situation.
Is ten boxes enough for a student move
For a single dorm room or small studio with mostly personal belongings, ten large boxes is comfortable. A typical student move breaks down roughly like this: one to two boxes for clothes and shoes, two to three for books and school supplies, two for kitchen items and small appliances, two for bedding and towels, and one to two for electronics and miscellaneous items.
If your move is slightly larger than expected, you can add extra boxes, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, or a mattress bag directly at cart during checkout. The add-on options are priced individually so you only pay for what you actually need — no upgrading to a bigger kit just because you have one extra shelf of books.
