Pack and move

Stack them, label them, roll them. They lock together in the truck so your load rides tight.

The crates

Built for moving, not for one trip to the curb

Rigid polypropylene with attached lids and real handles. They hold a full load without bowing, they clear a standard doorway with room to spare, and they interlock so a stack rides tight instead of sliding around the truck.

  • Arrive assembled — nothing to build, nothing to flatten
  • Roughly 60 lb capacity each
  • Lids attach, so no tape and no lost tops
  • Washed and wiped between every single rental

Why crates

Cardboard is a consumable. Crates are equipment.

The difference

Better than cardboard in every way that matters

Nothing to build, nothing to break down

They arrive assembled and they leave whole. That is the hour of taping at the start and the hour of flattening at the end, gone.

They stack like they were designed to

Uniform size, interlocking lids. You get clean walls in the truck instead of a cardboard tower that shifts every time you brake.

Rigid enough for books

Polypropylene with real handles. They hold a full load without bowing and they do not turn to mush in a Charlotte thunderstorm.

Washed between every rental

Every crate is cleaned and wiped before it goes back out. You are not inheriting anyone else's dust.

Zero cardboard at the curb

Each crate gets used hundreds of times. When you are done unpacking there is nothing to break down, bundle or haul off.

Free delivery, free pickup

Dropped at the old place, collected from the new one, anywhere within 35 miles of Uptown. No fee either way.

Questions

The things people ask first

How do moving crate rentals work?

You book online in about two minutes. We deliver clean, stacked crates and dollies to your current place on the morning you picked, you pack and move at your own pace, and when you are unpacked you leave the empty crates by the door at your new address. We come collect them. No assembly, no tape, no cardboard pile at the curb.

How many crates do I need?

Our packages are sized by home size and they are deliberately generous: 15 crates for a studio, 25 for a one-bedroom, 35 for a two-bedroom, 50 for a three-bedroom, 75 for a four-bedroom and 100 for five bedrooms and up. If you are between two sizes, size up. An extra ten crates costs a lot less than running out on a Saturday night.

How long do I get to keep them?

One week is the standard rental and it covers most moves comfortably. Pick your drop-off and pickup dates when you book and the extra weeks are priced automatically, or extend mid-rental at the same weekly rate by calling or emailing us. Nobody gets penalised for needing a few more days.
