How it works
From booking to empty driveway in four steps
Book online
Choose a pack, your delivery date and area. We confirm on WhatsApp, usually within two hours.
We drop off
Your crates arrive a few days before your move, nested so they take up little space.
Pack & move
Fill, clip the lid shut, stack. Movers love crates: they stack square and don't collapse in the truck.
We collect
Unpack, nest the empties and let us know. We collect from your new address. No flattening, no recycling run.

Delivery areas
Delivered & collected
We deliver and collect across the Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl, and it's free on the Atlantic Seaboard. One fee covers drop-off and collection, even if you move to a different suburb in the same zone. Moving between zones? We charge the higher of the two. Further out? We can still help, for an extra delivery fee that we confirm when you book.

FAQ
Good questions
How many crates do I need?
A rough guide is 15 crates for a bachelor flat, 25 for one or two bedrooms, 45 for a three-bedroom house and 70 for four bedrooms or more. Lots of books or a big kitchen? Go one pack up, or add crates in fives.
When does the hire week start?
On the day we deliver. Most people take delivery 3–4 days before moving day and finish unpacking within a week. Each extra week is half the week-one price.
What if a crate is lost or damaged?
Normal wear is on us. Crates that go missing or are damaged are charged at R275 each.
Will my removal company use them?
Yes. Crates stack square on a trolley and in the truck, which usually makes loading faster than with cardboard.
How do I pay?
We send a card or EFT payment link once your booking is confirmed. Payment is due before delivery.
