Mooving TotesRent. Pack. Moove.
How it works

Four steps.
Zero tape.

There is no assembly, no supply run and no pile of flattened cardboard at the end. You order, we deliver, you move, we collect. Here is exactly what happens and when.

The process

From order to pickup, start to finish.

Step 01

Place your order

Choose a package, or set your own tote count in the quote builder. Tell us your move date, your address and where to leave the totes if you are not home. Payment is taken when you book so there is nothing to sort out at the door.

Step 02

We drop off, free

We arrive in your chosen two hour window and carry everything to your door, whatever floor that door is on. The totes come nested and clean with lids and a set of reusable labels. Nothing needs folding, taping or building.

Step 03

You move (yay!)

Pack a room at a time, label the lid, stack it by the door. Lids clip shut so nothing spills on the stairs, and because every tote is the same size they load tight and square in the truck. Your rental clock runs from the day we dropped them off.

Step 04

We pick up when you are done

Message us once you have unpacked and we collect on the next Tuesday or Thursday run. Leave the totes nested by the door and walk away. We clean and inspect every one before it goes out again, so you never pay a cleaning fee.

The kit

What actually shows up at your door.

Your totes

64 litre heavy duty totes with snap on lids. Delivered nested, clean and ready to fill.

Matching lids

One clipped lid per tote, so every container closes flat and stacks square in the truck.

Reusable labels

Big enough to read across a room. Write the room, peel it off at the end, no marker on the tote.

The weeks you choose

Rent for one week or four, or longer if a closing date slips. You set the length at checkout and nobody rushes you to hand them back.

Packing tips

How to fill a tote
so it does not fight you.

A tote is not a cardboard box. It is rigid, it stacks, and it will happily let you overload it. A few habits make the whole move faster.

  1. Heavy things go in small numbers. Books, tools and dishes fill a tote long before it is full. Aim for 50 lb, which is about two thirds full of books.
  2. Pack flat to the rim. Lids only clip when the top is level. A lamp poking out means that tote cannot be stacked.
  3. One room per tote. Mixed totes get opened five times. Label the lid with the room, not the contents.
  4. Fragile in the middle. Soft items on the bottom and around the sides, glass and ceramics nested in the centre.
  5. Stack heavy on the bottom. Six high is fine when the heavy totes are underneath and the lids are on.

Timing

Two runs a week, and how far ahead to book.

Drop off and pickup days Tuesdays & Thursdays

Two scheduled runs every week. Pick the day that lines up with your move when you order.

Time of day 9:00 am to 4:00 pm

The same window on both days. Choose a two hour slot at checkout and we text before we head over.

Need another day? By request

Schedules outside Tuesday and Thursday can be arranged for a one time fee. Ask when you book.

Common questions

Before you book

Do I need to be home for drop off or pickup?

No. Leave a note when you order telling us where to put them, whether that is a porch, a garage, a lobby or with a concierge. We send a photo once they are down.

How many totes will I actually need?

A one bedroom usually lands around 25, a two bedroom around 35. Books, records and kitchen gear push the count up. If you run short, extra totes arrive free within 24 hours, so it is safe to start conservative.

Can I use them for storage instead of a move?

Yes. The weekly rate keeps running at $1.50 per tote, so plenty of people hold them through a renovation or a staging period. Tell us roughly how long and we will plan the pickup.

What if a tote gets damaged?

Normal wear is on us and so is cleaning. We only charge for totes that are not returned or damage well beyond ordinary use, like a cracked wall or a melted lid.

Do you move the boxes for me?

We deliver and collect the totes. The move itself is yours, or your movers. Plenty of moving companies in the area are happy to work with rented totes, and several prefer them because they load faster.

That is the whole process

Now pick a size and pick a date.

Free delivery, free pickup and as many weeks as you need in the middle. Book in about two minutes and the totes are at your door before your move date.
