How it works

  1. 1Book online

    Pick a package, choose a delivery day, and pay in about two minutes. Your confirmation lands by email right away.

  2. 2We deliver

    Clean totes, lids, labels, and a tote dolly arrive at your current home on the day you picked. Nobody needs to be home.

  3. 3Pack, move, unpack

    Load, stack, roll. Keep everything for 14 days. On pickup day we collect the stack from your new home.

Skip the box hunt. Skip the tape.

Totes, bins, crates, plastic moving boxes. Same thing, and ours come to you.

Stack and roll

Square sides and snap-on lids stack six high on the tote dolly. One trip to the truck instead of ten.

No tape, no collapse

Nothing to assemble and nothing that soaks through on a rainy driveway. Lids close, labels stick, done.

About the price of new boxes

A two-bedroom move in new cardboard runs close to what our 40 tote package costs, and we bring them and take them away. See the comparison

Add what the move needs.

Pick these when you book, or call during your rental and we bring them on the next route.

  • Keep a tote

    $12 each, small totes $8

    Fell for them? Keep any number after the move for the garage or the basement. Pick a count when you book, or tell the driver at pickup and it goes on the card on file.

  • Extra tote dolly

    $10 each

    One 4-wheel tote dolly is included. Add more for stairs and long hallways.

  • Moving blankets

    $18 per 6-pack

    Quilted pads for furniture, TVs, and framed art.

  • Move-out clean

    from $350, booked by phone

    A full move-out clean of the home you are leaving, by our cleaning partner once your totes are out: kitchen, bathrooms, floors, inside the fridge and oven. Ask for it in your order notes or call us, and they call to set the day. Booked and paid with them, not on this order.

  • Touch-up painting

    Free quote

    Nail holes, scuffs, and a wall or two before you hand over the keys. Our painting partner quotes it free. Ask in your order notes or call us, and they call you.

Free delivery and pickup within 25 miles of Polk City.

That is the whole Des Moines metro, Ames, and Boone. Moving from Ankeny to Norwalk, or from a downtown loft to Waukee, costs the same as moving across the street. Out to 40 miles, delivery is a flat $29 for the whole order.

Questions, answered.

See every question
How does moving tote rental work?

Pick a package online and choose a delivery day. We drop a stack of clean totes, lids, labels, and a tote dolly at your current home. You pack, move, and unpack at your own pace. On your pickup day we collect everything from your new home. Delivery and pickup are included inside the Des Moines metro.

How many totes do I need?

A studio fits in about 15 totes and a one-bedroom in 20. A two-bedroom home is about 40, a three-bedroom about 60, and a four-bedroom or larger about 80. If you have a full basement or a packed garage, add a pack of 10. Totes are the same size as a large moving box, so if you have ever counted boxes, count the same way.

What is included in every package?

Delivery to your current home, pickup from your new home, a 14 day rental, one 4-wheel tote dolly, lids, labels, and zip ties. Totes are washed and sanitized between every rental.

Where do you deliver?

Free delivery and pickup anywhere within 25 miles of our Polk City base: the whole Des Moines metro from Waukee to Altoona and down to Norwalk, plus Ames, Nevada, Boone, and Perry. From 25 to 40 miles, including Indianola, Winterset, Newton, and Story City, delivery is a flat $29 per order that covers both stops. Enter your ZIP on the booking page and it tells you right away.

How long can I keep the totes?

Every package includes 14 days. If you need longer, add extra weeks when you book or call us during your rental. Plenty of customers keep them an extra week while they settle in.

What if a tote breaks or goes missing?

Normal wear is expected and never charged. A broken or missing tote is $25 to replace, a cracked or missing lid is $10, and a lost tote dolly is $75. The tote protection plan covers accidental damage and loss, up to 10 totes plus every lid and the dolly, for a flat $15, or $25 for 50 totes and up, and we recommend it. It comes free with the 4+ bedroom package.

What if you are late?

If we miss your delivery window, your rental is extended a week at no charge. We text a tighter arrival time the morning of, so you will know before it happens, and the extra week goes on your pickup date without you asking. It is the one promise we make out loud, because a late stack of totes on moving day is the thing we would be most embarrassed about.
