Remember that we will not charge you anything until we have collected your things :)

You can get an idea of of the plan you'll need by visiting our storage plans and have a look the examples of what fits into each plan.

Don't worry if your things don't look like the example. It is only to give you an idea.

If you still have questions, we can give you a call for free or you can email us at hola@boxmotions.com and our experts will be happy to help you.

Even if you enter your credit/debit card details to make the reservation, we will not charge you anything until we have collected your items and stored them safely.

You can choose between paying on a monthly basis or take advantage of our discounts for quarterly, semiannual or annual payments. We'll charge you the first periodical fee the day we pick up your stuff, and the following fees at the expiration date of the period you have chosen. It's all automatic, so you don't have to worry about anything.

An example:
We will charge you the first subscription fee the day we pick up your things. If we have collected your things on June 6, and if you have chosen to pay on a monthly basis, we will charge you the following fee on July 6 and so on every month.

Well, no. If you add together everything you spend on Boxmotions (subscription fees + transport), in the end it's still cheaper than if you hire a conventional storage rental and organize the transport separately. And the best part is that with just a click you leave all the hard work for us.

To give you an idea: in most cases, only with the free pick-up you'll save around 300€.

Our storage plans have a minimum stay of 3 months.

But don't worry, we can deliver your stuff back before if you wish. In addition, since we include transportation and insurance, in most cases it is still cheaper, even if you use it for less than 3 months.

Packing

We take care of everything!
With your storage plan you have FREE:

  • Standard boxes (60x40x35cm), sealable and dust protective made of resistant plastic.
  • Wardrobe boxes that store your clothes hanging to avoid wrinkles and to take advantage of space.
  • Plastic film to protect your items from dust and protective packaging for transport.

In addition to being FREE, using our boxes is the best way to make sure your stuff takes up minimal space.

If you believe that some of your articles require special packaging to be transported and stored, let us know and we will do everything possible to ensure that they are well protected.

Here you have a little guide for each type of box:

Standard boxes (60x40x35cm): To give you an example, one box can hold 10 pairs of shoes, 25 shirts or 10 sweatshirts. See box.

Wardrobe box : Usually fits between 10 and 25 hanging pieces of clothing, depending on their thickness. See wardrobe box.

When in doubt, round up. If you end up with boxes to spare we bring them back empty at no extra cost :-)

If you still have questions, write us at hola@boxmotions.com or give us your phone number and one of our sales agents will give you a hand.

Of course. Here you have what it takes to become a box-packing guru

  • Distribute the weight evenly between your boxes. Remember that the maximum weight per box is 25 kg .
  • Place the heaviest objects in the bottom of the box so they don't destroy whatever they have underneath.
  • Group your belonings based on the things that you'll probably need back at the same time. For example, gloves, ski jacket and ski goggles go in the same box.
  • Roll not fold. Even if it doesn't look like it, by rolling your clothes they'll take up less space and get less wrinkly.
  • Optimize the use of space by putting small things into bigger ones. For example, place your socks inside your shoes.
  • If you're going to store something fragile, you should wrap it in newspaper so it's not directly in contact with the walls or other items inside the box.

Of course! You can store any type of object that can be handled and lifted by 2 people as long as it meets the conditions. For more info, you can see " What can I store and what not? " in this same page.

Security

Don't worry, we've thought of everything ;-)

Our maximum security warehouse is under 24-hour video surveillance and is connected to a central security alarm. In addition, it is properly prepared to prevent fires and handle humidity and ventilation. For even more security, only authorized Boxmotions staff can access it.

Never! The boxes will not be opened during your stay in the warehouse. We will in fact seal them with plastic straps at the time of collection.

We guarantee full confidentiality and privacy of all the things you have stored in Boxmotions.

Your online catalog is completely private, and only you can access it with your username and password. However, although you're the only one who can see the photos, if you prefer, you can choose that we don't take photos of your things.

We also seal all Boxmotions standard boxes with single-numbered plastic strap seals to make it clear that it has not been opened during the storage period.

For increased security, the warehouse is not open to the public, and only authorized Boxmotions personnel can access it.

But don't worry, you can always schedule a delivery and we'll bring you what you need where you need it. If you have a unique situation, don't hesitate to contact our team and we'll be happy to help you.
