What's included for that price
You pay once. We handle the rest:
- Delivery to your address. The day before your move, or earlier if that's easier.
- The bins themselves. Stackable, weatherproof plastic, no assembly required.
- A dolly. So you can wheel a stack instead of carrying one bin at a time.
- Reusable labels. For room sorting.
- 2 weeks of rental from your delivery date.
- Pickup at your new address when you're done.
No fuel surcharge. No "small order" fee. No assembly tax in your time. What's on the package is what you pay.
How that compares to buying cardboard
Most movers' first instinct is to grab cardboard at Home Depot, U-Haul, or Lowe's. New moving boxes typically run somewhere in the $1.50 to $4 range per box depending on size, plus tape, markers, and a paper roll or two. Used boxes from Craigslist or Buy Nothing are cheaper but inconsistent in size and condition.
For a 1-bedroom move (25 boxes equivalent), the cardboard route typically lands in the $40 to $80 range for boxes alone, plus tape and supplies. Cheaper than $229 on paper. But that number doesn't price in:
- The two trips to Home Depot
- The hours assembling boxes with packing tape
- The breakdown and recycling project at the new place, paced by your building's pickup schedule
- The mismatched sizes that don't stack cleanly on a dolly
- The risk of soggy box bottoms on a Seattle rainy day
Reusable bins skip all of that. The price difference is mostly "I'd rather not deal with cardboard."
What if I need more time or more bins?
Both are flat-priced too:
- Extra bins: $5 per bin per week, prorated against your remaining rental.
- Extra time: Same $5 per bin per week to extend the rental period.
You can add these at booking or after delivery. Most moves wrap inside the original 2-week window, but knowing the extension price means no surprises if your unpacking timeline slides.
Why flat pricing
Local moves are stressful enough. We priced packages by bedroom count so you can pick yours in 30 seconds without comparing line items. If you're between packages, size up — the gap is small, and running short of bins during a Sunday move is a worse problem than spending $60 more upfront.
Takes about 2 minutes. Pick the package that fits your bedroom count.
