At Get Box Storage, all our packaging supplies are carefully selected to ensure durability during both moving and storage. Our cardboard cartons are built from tough, double-layered corrugated board, offering superior protection for your belongings.

We strongly advise using our high-quality boxes—they’re built to handle heavy loads and are ideal for both shipping and storage purposes. 

You can use your own boxes but we will not be held liable for any damage that may occur due to the customers boxes they use. Please ensure that all boxes you use are sealed correctly and there is no damage that could cause the box to open.

Yes you will get a call 30 to 60 minutes before the driver arrives to inform you he is on his way. Please do not leave things to the last minute, and make sure all the boxes are ready to go and are left outside the property of the ground floor.

We can collect your boxes from almost any UK address, whether that’s your home, your workplace, or your student accommodation.

To help your collection go smoothly, please enter your full address and postcode accurately when booking. If your home is in a gated complex or your driver needs to ring a buzzer for access, let us know in advance. It also helps if you tell us if you’re leaving your boxes with a concierge or at reception.

Our standard collection includes collection from the ground floor. Please ensure your boxes are packed, sealed, and ready on the ground floor when your driver arrives.

Need a bit more help? We offer a extra service if we need to go up to a higher floor.

If you’d like to add this service, please contact our friendly support team.

With our standard collection service, your driver will arrive anytime between 9am and 9pm on your chosen collection day. Please ensure that you, or someone you trust, is available for the entire window so we can collect your boxes without any issues.

For most UK postcodes, we’ll email you a 4-hour estimated collection window the day before to help you plan your day.

Delivery & Collection Pricing

To keep things simple, our pick-up and drop-off charges are based on standard local taxi rates. This means you only pay for the distance between the collection address and the delivery address—no complicated fees or hidden costs.

You can easily check the approximate price by entering the mileage into the taxi fare calculator below:

Just enter the distance between the two addresses to get an estimated cost. Final charges will be confirmed at booking and may vary slightly during peak travel times.

At Get Box Storage, our motto is Simple Storage, and we aim to make storing and retrieving your items as stress-free as possible.

While we don’t physically inspect the contents of your boxes, we strongly recommend that you take a clear photo of the inside of each box before sealing it. This helps you remember exactly what you’ve packed and allows us to help you locate and return specific items when you need them.

Once your box is packed, please take a second photo of the sealed box with its label or identification clearly visible. This could be your name, your box ID number, or a description that will help you identify it later.

Here’s why this is helpful:

✅ You’ll know what’s inside each box without having to guess.
✅ We can quickly find and return specific boxes to you when requested.
✅ It saves time if you need just one item back rather than your entire storage.

In short, two quick photos per box keep your storage simple and your retrievals easy.

If you have any questions about how to label or photograph your boxes for your records, our friendly team is here to help.

Unfortunately we only offer a box collection service were all boxes have been packed, sealed and photographed and videoed by the customer. We do not offer a box packing service sorry all customers or someone they have informed us will be there on the day of collection.

At Get Box Storage, we keep storage simple, affordable, and flexible, so you only pay for what you actually store.

We offer three box sizes to match your needs:

📦 Small Box – £8.99 per month (110 cm W L H)

📦 Medium Box – £10.99 per month (125 cm W L H)

📦 Large Box – £19.99 per month (167 cm W L H)

Why customers love our pricing:

Transparent monthly rates – pay only for the boxes you use.
Flexible upgrades if you need more boxes later.
Easy budgeting with clear, flat monthly pricing.

Q: The boxes on Amazon don’t always match your exact box sizes. Is that a problem?

No problem at all. We provide Amazon affiliate links to help you easily find boxes, but sometimes the exact measurements may vary depending on what’s available. Our standard storage sizes are based on combined dimensions (length + width + height):

  • Small Box: Up to 110cm combined

  • Medium Box: Up to 125cm combined

  • Large Box: Up to 167cm combined

If the box you purchase is slightly different in size, we simply place it into the correct category based on its total combined dimensions. This ensures fair pricing no matter where you buy your boxes.

So you’re free to use any box you choose — as long as it’s sturdy and can be safely stored, we’ll measure it on collection and apply the storage price that matches its size category.

Q: Do you offer discounts for long-term storage or specific groups?

Yes — we provide two types of discounts:

1. Long-Term Storage Discounts
