You save $33 out of pocket and about 4 hours renting for a week — no store run, no taping, no dumpster.

Cardboard: August 2026 shelf prices at big-box hardware stores in Austin; box counts follow a standard moving calculator (2 bedrooms ≈ 30 small, 25 medium, 15 large). Crates: exactly what you'll see at checkout; stairs without an elevator add $10–15 each way.

How renting works

Three steps. None of them is a trip to the store.

Pick your home size

Studio to 5 bedrooms. Book online in about 2 minutes.

We deliver on your date

Clean crates and dollies, stacked at your door. Need them tomorrow? Call or text 512-877-2643.

Pack, move, we pick up

Unpacked? We collect everything. Extend a week if the move runs long.

What you skip:

the store run folding & taping crushed corners breaking boxes down the recycling pile guessing sizes

Before you switch from boxes

Wait — I have to give the crates back?

Yes, and that's the point: you never have to get rid of them. When you're unpacked, we collect every crate and dolly. Pickup is included.

How much fits in a crate?

About the same as a medium cardboard box (27″ × 17″ × 12″, ~3 cubic feet), with a lid, and they stack without crushing. A 2-bedroom package is 35 crates and 2 dollies. Need more mid-move? Call us.

What if my move slips a few days?

Extend anytime and we'll reschedule the pickup — the second week is $108 on a 2-bedroom. Most customers rent 1–2 weeks.

Hanging clothes, TVs, mattresses, packing paper?

Add them during booking and they arrive with the crates: packing paper, foam pouches, mattress bags from $7.99 and a TV box. One delivery, no store.

Do you deliver where I am?

The whole Austin metro — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Kyle, Buda, Manor, Leander and everything in between. Your ZIP is checked at booking.
