When an order is placed, we will deliver empty, bar-coded boxes and a Door2DoorBoxStorage welcome packet – which includes an inventory form and other helpful information.
After we deliver your boxes, you can pack them however you like.
After this just contact us and we will arrange to come and collect your items.
We will then store them safely and securely at our warehouse.
When you need your boxes returned just contact us and we will arrange a re-delivery date. We can return all of your boxes or just the ones you need at any given time. If you need to then put your box back in storage you can also pre-schedule a pick up time.

Door2DoorBoxStorage Fees and Billing
What are your pick up and delivery dates?
Our initial drop off of boxes is free for all new customers. Delivery and pick up are available 5 days per week. After that, any requests for more boxes or requests for delivery of items will incur a fee.
What is included in each pick up and delivery?
We will pick up or deliver to you as many boxes or items at one time you need.
Can I request some, but not all, of my things?
Yes! You can request whichever boxes you want.
If I return boxes but leave others in storage does my monthly fee decrease?
Yes. You only pay for the space you use. If you reduce the number of boxes you are storing, then your monthly fee will be reduced accordingly.
If I have my things returned in the middle of my billing cycle, do I have to pay for the entire month?
We do not prorate months for storage. If you have your boxes delivered out of storage before the next billing cycle you will not be charged for the following month.
What happens if I frequently move things back and forth from storage?
No worries!! Just contact us for our special rates.
What if I don't need to store a box after it's been delivered to me?
If you retrieved a box from Door2DoorBoxStorage and decide that you don’t need to store that box anymore, please arrange a pick up appointment with our Box Team and they will retrieve the empty box.
If you don't set up an appointment within one week and you decide to not return the empty box to storage, you will be charged a flat fee for the purchase of each box you have. (Medium Boxes are £25.00 each, Large boxes are £29.00 each and Extra Large boxes are £39.00 each.)
How does your cost compare to other solutions like self storage?
The monthly fee is much less than renting a self-storage unit where the space may not be utilized 100%. Renting a storage unit means you often pay for space you don't need. With Door2DoorBoxStorage, you only pay for the box that your items are in.
What happens to my belongings if I am late making a payment?
If you know in advance that you may be late making a payment for any reason, please contact us so that we can work with you. If you don't reach out to us, you will be charged a penalty fee for late or missed payments. In extreme cases, if you have not paid we may not return your belongings or take further action until your account balance is settled.
Do I have to make a long-term commitment?
We only require an initial 3-month commitment when you store boxes or items with us. After that short period, you won't be required to make any long term commitments to storing. It's all based on your needs!
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards as payment. You will have to provide your credit card information at the time you place your order. For on-going payments we will set up a direct debit account for you via our provider GoCardless. Your account will then be automatically charged on a monthly basis.
How do I update my billing or contact information?
If you need to update your billing or contact information please contact us.
