If something's not working, not making sense, or you'd rather deal with a real person instead of a computer, please contact us and we'll help you with any queries that you may have.
What do I need to do to prepare for your arrival?
Please ensure all your items are packed and easily accessible and boxes are closed and sealed to the extent possible. For fragile items, we recommend carefully packing and packing note of which items are fragile – even with careful handling, the transportation process can be hard on fragile items.
What pick-up/delivery times are available?
We offer two-hour delivery windows from 8AM to 6PM on weekdays and 9AM to 6PM on weekends. If a time-slot is full or unavailable, it will not be available for booking. Our time slots are 2 hours due to the complications of routing, traffic, pick-up durations and other factors, and we may arrive at any time during this period. However, we will do our best to send you a message in advance of our arrival to provide a more specific window once we have planned our drivers' routes.
Can I book a drop-off, pick-up or delivery on short notice?
Yes, but please contact us directly by email or phone to ensure we can accommodate your request.
Space Plans
How do I know how much space I need?
We recommend using the guides on our website and selecting the plan that best fits your needs. We will automatically adjust your plan based on how much space your items take up in our facility (the same way you would need to upgrade to a larger size at a self-storage facility if your things didn’t fit). You can also give us a call and our storage experts will help you pick an appropriate plan.
How do you ensure I am only charged for the appropriate unit size?
Once your items arrive at our warehouse we organize and measure them to determine how much space you require. If your items require a smaller or larger unit size, we will automatically adjust your plan and notify you. When our drivers arrive to pick up your things, we will do our best to let you know if we anticipate any changes to your chosen plan will apply.
Do you offer custom plan sizes?
Yes! Contact us if you need more space than our 250 sq ft unit we’d be happy to put together a quote.
