Getting Started
How do I book a rental?
+
Use the quote calculator on our Packages page to get an instant estimate and submit your request — or call or text us directly at 618-420-1611. Once we confirm availability, we'll send your invoice and Rental Agreement through Square. Sign, pay, and you're booked.
What's included in every rental?
+
Every rental includes your chosen number of heavy-duty plastic totes, at least one moving dolly (Executive and Premier Packs include two), and a standard 14-day rental period. Delivery is included free on Starter and Family Pack orders in Clinton County.
Which package is right for my move?
+
A good rule of thumb: 1–2 bedrooms → Starter Pack (20 totes), 2–3 bedrooms → Family Pack (40 totes), 3–4 bedrooms → Premium Pack (60 totes), 4–5 bedrooms → Executive Pack (80 totes), 5+ bedrooms → Premier Pack (100 totes). Not sure? Give us a call and we'll help you figure out the right fit — or request a custom quote.
Do I need to sign anything?
+
Yes — every rental requires a signed Rental Agreement, which we send digitally alongside your invoice through Square. It takes about two minutes to review and sign electronically. Delivery cannot be scheduled until your agreement is signed and payment is received.
Delivery & Pickup
Do you deliver to my area?
+
We deliver throughout Clinton County, Illinois. This includes Breese, Carlyle, Trenton, Albers, New Baden, Germantown, and other communities in the county. Outside Clinton County? You're welcome to self-pickup at 423 N. Cherry St, Breese, IL 62230.
Is delivery really free?
+
Yes — Starter Pack and Family Pack orders include free delivery within Clinton County. Premium, Executive, and Premier Packs have a delivery fee ($29.99 or $39.99 depending on the package). All delivery fees are clearly shown on the Packages page.
How do I schedule my delivery and pickup times?
+
After booking, we'll coordinate your delivery window directly — call or text us at 618-420-1611 to confirm a time that works for you. We'll do the same when it's time for pickup at the end of your rental period.
What if I'm not home for delivery or pickup?
+
Just let us know ahead of time and we'll work something out. We'll coordinate a plan that makes sense for your situation — just call or text us at 618-420-1611.
Rental Period & Extensions
How long is the standard rental?
+
The standard rental period is 14 days (2 weeks) from the date of delivery. That's plenty of time for most moves — pack, transport, and unpack at your own pace.
Can I extend my rental if I need more time?
+
Yes — extensions are available in one-week increments at your package's weekly extension rate. You can add up to 3 extensions for a maximum total rental of 35 days. Contact us before your rental ends to add an extension.
What happens if I return the totes late?
+
Late fees begin on Day 15 at 10% of your original package price per day, up to a maximum of 100% of the package price. To avoid late fees, reach out before your rental ends to add an extension. If we're unable to retrieve the totes and must make a special trip, additional retrieval costs may apply.
Pricing & Payment
When is payment due?
+
Payment is due in full at the time of booking. We accept credit and debit cards through Square. Your invoice will be sent via email with a secure payment link — no cash or check required.
What is your cancellation policy?
+
More than 48 hours before delivery: Full refund, less a 5% admin fee. Within 48 hours of delivery: Store credit issued, less a 5% admin fee — no cash refund. After delivery: No refund or credit available.
Can I add extra dollies to my order?
+
Yes — extra dollies can be added to any package for $20 per dolly per rental period, subject to availability. Every package already includes one dolly; Executive and Premier Packs include two.
Tote Condition & Responsibility
Are the totes clean when I receive them?
+
Yes — every tote is cleaned and sanitized between every rental. You'll always receive totes that are ready to pack immediately. If you ever have a concern about a tote's condition upon delivery, let us know right away.
What if a tote is lost or damaged during my rental?
+
You are responsible for returning all totes and dollies in the same condition they were delivered. Lost or damaged totes are subject to replacement fees. Please review your Rental Agreement for full details on replacement costs and your responsibilities.
Do I need to clean the totes before returning them?
+
We ask that totes be returned in reasonably clean condition — free of food, debris, or excessive dirt. We clean and sanitize all totes between rentals. Totes returned in an unusable or excessively soiled condition may be subject to a cleaning fee.
