How it works
Pick a package. Pack. Move. Return.
Moving is already a lot of work. Renting the totes should be the easy part.
Request your dates
Choose your preferred start date, rental length and appointment time between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. We’ll personally confirm availability and your total before payment.
Pick up or get delivery
Customer pickup and return at our location are free. With packages of 25 totes or more, you may choose paid delivery and collection in our service area, including Espanola.
Pack and move
Fill, stack and move your reusable totes—no cardboard to assemble and no tape required. Keep each packed tote at 50 lb or less.
Return the empty totes
Bring the empty totes back at the arranged time, or have us collect them if you selected paid delivery and collection. We clean and sanitize every tote before its next rental.
That’s it—less cardboard, less waste and less moving-day hassle.
A better way to move
Skip the cardboard chaos.
No hunting for used boxes, no weak bottoms and no leaning stacks. Our reusable totes arrive ready to pack, carry and stack.
Hunting for usable boxes
Used boxes can be dirty, damaged or the wrong size for your move.
Paid tote delivery available
We deliver and collect the empty rental totes only—we do not transport your belongings. Available with rentals of 25 totes or more, or pick up and return your totes at our location for free.
Weak bottoms can give way
Worn cardboard and tape can fail when you need them most.
Strong and easy to carry
Rigid reusable totes stay their shape and need no tape or assembly.
Stacks can crush and topple
Soft, mismatched boxes can make packing and moving harder.
Neat, secure stacking
Matching totes stack evenly to help keep your move organized.
7-day rentals
Choose by the size of your home.
Every tote has a removable push-top lid and stacks neatly. The bedroom guide makes it easy to estimate what you need. Multi-week rentals are also available.
