Is there a way to keep my belongings safe when using a self pack container?

Tie-off points are located throughout the container, allowing you to easily secure your goods once they are loaded. The containers are also equipped with vapour vents to reduce condensation buildup inside the container.

Are there additional requirements or paperwork for this service?

Most of the time, there are no additional requirements for packing your own container. However, if your residence is located in an apartment complex, you will need the approval of the property manager since placing a container in the area might disrupt other residents.

Am I required to purchase insurance for my goods?

While it is not required, purchasing accurate insurance for the cost of your goods in transit is highly recommended. You may purchase one from us or from your preferred insurance provider.

Are you going to provide the packing materials?
How much time will you give me to finish packing my container?

From the time you have the empty container dropped off, you have 4 weeks to complete your move. It is best to keep this in mind when thinking about how long it may take you to pack and unpack your belongings.
