Have a question about how Callbox Storage works? We have all your answers right here, from pricing to delivery.

WHY CALLBOX STORAGE

Back to Top

What is Callbox Storage? 

Callbox Storage is a full-service storage company that offers pickup and delivery services. We pick up your items and take them to a safe, climate-controlled facility for you. We’ll photograph your inventory, so when you’re ready to get it back again, you can select which things you want without the extra hassle.

How does Callbox Storage work? 

First, Callbox Storage arrives at your home, apartment, school, or wherever you need us with a vehicle, ready to get to work. Then our team of friendly Storage Professionals picks up your items for storage, inventories all your boxes and furniture items with unique barcodes and photographs every item (i.e. box, couch, etc). Finally, we will gently load everything into the vehicle and transport it to our secure, climate-controlled storage facility. Whenever you want one or more of your stored items back again, log in to your Callbox Storage account, make your request and schedule a return delivery. You can also use the same process to add even more items!

What’s the difference between Callbox Storage and pod/container storage?

At Callbox Storage, we don’t drop off a container and leave. We do all the work for you. First, we inventory, photograph and barcode your items. Then we pick them up from your home or other location and, whenever you want them back again, we will deliver them to you on demand. You can also use the same process to add even more items—something pods rarely allow!

What’s the difference between Callbox Storage and self-storage? 

The great thing about Callbox Storage compared to self-storage is the full-service experience. We know that your time is valuable, so we do the heavy lifting for you and keep your special items safe and organized. Unlike self-storage, we control who enters and exits our storage facility, which provides you with a safer storage experience. Plus, our barcodes/photograph inventory management system makes looking for a specific thing easier than hunting through a packed storage container. You know where your items are at all times. And when you want your items back, we can deliver within 48 hours.

Is Callbox Storage better than pod/container storage? 

We’re a little biased here, but we think yes, and here’s why. When you want one thing back, you don’t have to wait for the entire container to be delivered to you. Whether it’s a few boxes, one box, or even one individual item (like a bicycle or lamp), we’ll deliver just what you need.
