Each crate is made from high-density polyethylene and holds up to 65 lbs. Crates stack and lock without tape, so there is nothing to assemble and nothing to break down afterwards.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Renting Moving Crates

Ordering too few crates

The most common error. Running short mid-pack means either a supplemental delivery or a scramble for cardboard. Supplemental deliveries are possible but depend on availability, so size up rather than down if you are between packages.

Booking the day before the move

Booking 3–5 days ahead gives you a real choice of delivery windows. Last-minute bookings are often possible, but you take whatever slot is left — and end-of-month weekends in NYC fill first.

Not arranging for someone to be home

An adult aged 18 or over has to sign at both delivery and pickup. Crates cannot be left with a doorman or in a lobby. If your window no longer works, contact us before the date rather than on the day.

Overloading crates past 65 lbs

Because plastic crates do not fail the way a wet cardboard box does, it is easy to overfill them — especially with books. Spread heavy items across several crates. A crate you cannot carry down four flights is not doing you any favours.

Scattering crates around the new place before pickup

Collection is fastest when the crates are emptied, nested and stacked in one spot near the door. Ten minutes of tidying before the pickup window saves everyone time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent moving crates in NYC?

Packages run from $119 per week for a Studio Pack of 15 crates to $149 per week for a 3-Bedroom Pack of 50 crates. Free delivery, free pickup and dollies are included in every package.

How many crates do I need for my move?

A studio usually needs 15–20 crates, a 1-bedroom 20–30, a 2-bedroom 35–50, and a 3-bedroom home around 50. If you are between two packages, choose the larger one — running short mid-pack is the most common mistake.

Is delivery and pickup really free?

Yes. Both are included in every package across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Hoboken and Jersey City. There are no borough fees, no delivery surcharges and no stair fees.

How far in advance should I book?

Three to five days before your move gives you the widest choice of delivery windows. Last-minute bookings can often be accommodated, but end-of-month weekends fill up first in NYC.

Can I keep the crates for longer than a week?

Yes. Rentals extend in weekly increments at your original package rate. Contact us before your scheduled pickup date to arrange it. Only week one is charged when you book.

How much weight does one crate hold?

Each crate is made from high-density polyethylene and holds up to 65 lbs. Spread books and other dense items across several crates rather than filling one to the limit.

Do I need to be home for delivery and pickup?

Yes. An adult aged 18 or over must be present to sign at both delivery and pickup. If you need to change your window, contact us in advance and we will find another time.

Are the crates clean?

Every crate is cleaned and sanitized between rentals and arrives dry and odor-free, ready to pack the moment it reaches your door.
