Which areas/schools do you service?
Our service area covers the city boundaries of Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge and Guelph. This area includes the University of Waterloo, Wilfred Laurier University, University of Guelph and Conestoga College.

How much advance notice do you need?
For pickup and delivery of your items we require a minimum of 24 hours notice. However, we are very busy during the months of April, May, August and September and recommend customers book as early as possible (1-2 weeks in advance) to guarantee their preferred date and time. Pickup and delivery dates and times are available on a first come, first served basis.
Do I get to choose the pickup and delivery date and time?
Yes. We deliver packing supplies and offer item pickup/delivery within 1-hour time windows of your choosing, subject to availability. Our staff will arrive at any point within the selected 1-hour window and will notify you through text and call upon their arrival.
Do I need to label my items?
Labeling your items is entirely optional. During pickup, our staff will securely attach a label with your unique tracking barcode to each item.
How do I get my free packing supplies?
Every storage term includes $15 worth of free packing supplies delivered to your door on a date and time you choose. A $15 deposit is required when placing your order, which will be deducted from your final storage invoice.
