Do you deliver on weekends?
Yes, and weekdays too. We deliver seven days a week, and the windows depend on the day. You’ll see what’s open when you book. We confirm the exact time 48 hours before delivery.
Where do you deliver?
Delivery and pickup are included within 10 miles of City Heights. That covers downtown, North Park, Normal Heights, Kensington, Talmadge, South Park, Hillcrest, University Heights, and La Mesa. An address 10 to 20 miles out adds $20 for that trip, so $20 if one address is out there, $40 if both are. Past twenty miles we still deliver anywhere in San Diego County, quoted first.

Yes. Every bin is cleaned and inspected between rentals.
What if I need more bins mid-pack?
Add them before delivery, and we'll bring them along. After delivery, message us and we'll let you know if a same-week drop is possible. Extra bins are $5 each.
What happens if a bin gets damaged?
Normal wear is expected. A bin that comes back broken or missing is $20 to replace. You'll see that number before you pay, not after.
What is the cancellation policy?
Full refund if you cancel 48 hours or more before delivery. Inside 48 hours, the cancellation fee is $60. Once the bins are delivered, the rental is non-refundable.
Are plastic moving boxes better than cardboard?
For most moves, yes. They arrive ready with no assembly or tape, they stack and roll on a dolly, hard sides protect what's inside, and we pick them up when you're done.

The bins are built for moving and rented in two-week blocks. For short-term storage during a move, that works well. For long-term storage, renting bins is usually not the cheapest route.
Do the bins close without tape?
Yes. The lids snap on and latch shut. Labels, a Sharpie, and zip ties come with every order.
Ready to skip the cardboard?
Four packages from $99 to $249. Delivery and pickup included within 10 miles of City Heights. Full refund if you cancel 48 hours or more before delivery.
