How do FlexBox compare to PODS®?
Our box is smaller – Each unit is 8’x5’x7’ and holds about 1 ½ rooms of furniture. You can order as many or few as needed and only pay for what you use.
Maneuverable – Portable forklifts can deliver down alleys, inside garages and to backyards. Flexible delivery puts the box closer to your door, trouble free.
Limited shifting in transit – Smaller containers are easier to pack and limit damage due to shifting contents.
Easy access – Smaller size allows you to pack and sort logically and allows easy access to your items.
Breathable container – Our containers are made of wood allowing containers to breathe, never trapping in moisture, breeding mold and mildew. 
One drop off and one pickup – Our large capacity trucks hold up to 9 units.  PODS® can deliver only one at a time. 
Fits in a parking space – Neighborhood friendly size is great for apartment complexes, urban neighborhoods, condominiums and covenant-restricted areas.  

Why use our mobile storage systems instead of a traditional self-storage facility?
FlexBox mobile storage is easy to use. We deliver storage containers right to your door. There’s no need to rent a truck or make multiple trips to the storage facility. You pack and unpack one time reducing your workload and reducing the wear on your belongings. And your items are stored inside a climate-controlled, secure warehouse. 

Do you sell packing supplies?
Yes. We offer a variety of boxes and packing supplies to help you move and protect your belongings. Please visit our packing supplies page to see what we offer. For your convenience, we can include these boxes and packing supplies when we deliver containers to your house or we can ship them ahead of time.

 
Will my large household items fit in a Mobile Storage unit?
Almost all household goods will fit into our Mobile Storage units, including couches, king-size beds, armoires, refrigerators and baby-grand pianos. The maximum length or height that will fit into the container is 93". 

What are the containers made of?
FlexBox containers are made of pressure-treated plywood providing an environmentally friendly space for your possessions. Wooden containers breathe so moisture and excessive heat will not become trapped inside causing mold and mildew to grow. Furthermore, our warehouses are fully climate controlled, so you can be sure your items will be returned in the same condition as they entered storage. 

How many containers will I need?
On average, each box will hold approximately 1 1/2 rooms of household items.  If you are unsure on how many you will need, we can deliver extra boxes to your door.  We will not charge you for those boxes that you do not use.  

What’s the delivery process like?
The storage containers arrive on a smooth riding, air-suspension, flat-bed truck. Our highly skilled drivers then use a forklift to unload the containers and place them in the most convenient location for you to load or unload. If you can’t be there for delivery, don’t worry. We’ll place the containers based on your instructions and leave a Welcome Package filled with information and tips to get you started. 

How do I pack the containers to keep the contents from shifting?
Pack the boxes to avoiding empty space and protect furniture and fragile items with moving blankets, bubble wrap and moving boxes. Place heavier items on the bottom and distribute weight evenly throughout the containers. 

How long do I have to load or unload my container?
It’s up to you. We can schedule a same day delivery and pickup or you can take your time and schedule pick-up after you’re finished. 

Does FlexBox provide help packing the containers?
We have able partners who provide this service. Whether you just need additional assistance with your larger items or are looking for a complete pack-and-load (down to the last teaspoon in the kitchen drawer), FlexBox can arrange for experienced, professional movers to load your boxes. 

Do the containers lock?
All containers must be locked prior to pickup and transit to our warehouse. You can purchase a lock from FlexBox or provide your own, but containers must be locked. For your security, we do not keep keys to your lock, so make sure you keep them in a safe place. 

Can I access my belongings while they are in storage?
You can access your containers 6 days a week (Monday – Saturday) between 8:00 – 5:00 p.m. We suggest calling ahead so that you don’t have to wait for us to retrieve your box. 

Are your warehouses secured?
All FlexBox facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art smoke, fire and alarm systems. All sites are continuously taped and monitored. Furthermore, customers are asked to provide identification and must sign in before proceeding to the customer-access area. Security procedures are thorough and strictly enforced throughout each facility. 

Where are you located?
