I Am Booked — Now What?

This section explains what to expect after you’ve placed your order. From whether you need to be present for delivery or pickup, to understanding payment timing and damage deposits.

In most cases, yes — we recommend that someone is present to receive or return the totes to ensure they’re delivered and collected safely. As we like to count the totes with you to ensure correct delivery and pick up.
However, if you can’t be there, you can authorize us to leave or collect the totes from a designated safe location (such as a porch, garage). Please note that once the totes are dropped off or picked up without someone present, we can’t be held responsible for any loss or damage. The totes will be solely your responsibility.

Payment is processed when you place your order to secure your booking and delivery date. Any additional charges (like added totes or extended rental time) will be billed separately.

Yes, a refundable damage deposit of $250.00 will be required. This deposit helps cover lost, damaged, or unreturned totes. The full deposit is refunded once all totes are returned in good condition at the end of your rental period.

Delivery & Pickup Logistics

This section covers how we get your moving totes to you and back. Learn about our delivery areas, how the process works, what you need to do before pickup, and whether you can schedule specific time windows.

Just make sure there’s a clear, accessible space near your entryway for our driver to drop off your totes. If you live in an apartment or condo, please notify your concierge or building management so we can access the building easily.

During Your Rental Period

This section helps you navigate what to do while you are using the totes, including how to add more totes or extend your rental if needed. It also covers your responsibilities for cleaning and how to reach us if you have any questions during your rental.

Yes you can extend your rental anytime before your scheduled pickup. Just let us know at least 24 hours in advance, and we’ll adjust your return date and any additional fees.

We ask that you give each tote a quick wipe-down and remove all personal items before pickup. Don’t worry — we will handle the deep cleaning and sanitizing after every rental to ensure they are ready for the next customer.

You can reach us anytime by:

  • Phone: 604-309-7419

Damage, Loss & Liability

This section explains what to do if a tote gets damaged or goes missing, and outlines your responsibilities during the rental. You’ll also find information on how we handle damage discovered upon delivery. Also whether the totes are weatherproof and safe for outdoor use.

If you have approved a drop-off or pickup without being home, you are responsible for the totes once they have been delivered or until they are collected. To avoid any issues, we recommend choosing a secure location or being present during delivery and pickup.

Our totes are durable and water-resistant, designed to protect your items from dust, dirt, and light moisture during your move. However, they are not fully waterproof, so we don’t recommend leaving them outdoors or exposed to heavy rain. Please store the totes indoors or in a sheltered area to avoid water damage or mold.

We carefully inspect all totes before every delivery. However, if you notice any damage when your totes arrive, please report it right away — ideally before you start packing. We’ll replace any damaged totes at no cost to you.
