Oh, I don't think that's going to help me then. I don't have anyone moving away right now.Sorry about the late response; I was turnip selling for my parents!
What a villager in boxes means is that the villager is packed up and ready to move (it’s usually the day after they ask: Isabelle announces it). Another cool thing about villagers in boxes is that you can have a friend (or customer) come over and invite them to their town!
