Cardboard vs Crates

Why our totes beat the box.

Cardboard looks cheap until you add the tape, the labels, the late-night flat-packing and the recycling run. Here's the honest comparison.

54L

The lifting sweet spot.

Bigger crates exist, but a packed 80L of books is a back injury waiting to happen. We picked 54L because it's the size that holds proper volume and stays liftable when full — even at the end of a long packing day.

FAQs

Anything we haven't answered?

What areas do you cover?

Harlow (CM17–CM20), Bishop's Stortford (CM23), Sawbridgeworth (CM21) and the surrounding villages — Old Harlow, Hatfield Heath, Sheering, High Wych and Spellbrook (CM22). Nearby but not listed? Ask — we usually still come.

What size are the crates?

54 litres — roughly 60 × 40 × 32 cm. The largest size you can comfortably fill and still lift.

How many crates will I need?

Rough guide: 15 for a small flat, 25 for a 2-bed, 40 for a 3-bed, 55 for 4-bed+. Loft or garage stuff pushes it higher. WhatsApp us if you're not sure.

How do I pay?

Pay now via Stripe to lock in your slot, or pay on delivery — card terminal or cash. No deposit needed.

How does delivery and collection work?

We confirm a 2-hour window the day before. Both delivery and collection are included in the price.

Need them longer?

No problem — message us before collection day and we'll extend at a pro-rata rate.

Are they clean?

Always. Every crate is wiped down and inspected between hires.

What if I lose or damage one?

Rare with crates this heavy-duty. If it happens, we'll have a chat — replacement fee only if needed.
