Five sizes, priced by bedrooms. Delivery, pickup, a dolly and a 7-day window (10 days on Student / Dorm) are in every one of them.

How to pick a size

Go by bedrooms, not by how much you think you own — everyone underestimates. Fifteen boxes covers a dorm or a single room. Thirty is a two-bedroom. Forty is a three-bedroom house with a basement you've been ignoring.

What's included

Delivery to your door before you start packing
Pickup from the new address once you're unpacked
A moving dolly with every package
A 7-day rental window (10 days on the Student / Dorm package)

What isn't

Missing or damaged boxes: $15 each. Scuffs and scratches from a normal move aren't charged.
Keeping them longer than 7 days — we offer weekly extensions; tell us before your pickup date.

How this compares to buying cardboard

A two-bedroom's worth of new boxes, plus tape, plus a dolly you'd have to rent anyway, lands in the same neighbourhood as the $199 package — and then you still have to get rid of it all. The rental price is the whole price.

The boxes themselves

Every box is the same heavy-duty tote ToteRental.ca rents: one size, rigid sides, lid attached. Here is exactly what arrives.

Packing a 102-litre box without hurting yourself

A box packed full of books is too heavy to lift safely. Put books and dishes in the bottom third, fill the rest with linens, towels or clothes, snap the lid on, and roll stacks on the dolly instead of carrying them.
