So we need something to be able to compare an actual item so let’s use a typical moving box which is 4 cu ft in volume.
Since the moving container can hold 300 cu ft we could place up to 60 full boxes inside it! With still appx 9 inches high x 90 inches long x 60 inches wide (or 25 cu ft) of space available to place items on top of the boxes!
Save time and money with expedited transportation
Moving small items across the country has always ended up being time-consuming & expensive. Quite often with the client paying additional costs out of pocket like hotel rooms & dining out for days/weeks waiting for their furniture to arrive. With our long-distance moves service, you can eliminate these extra fees and avoid shipping company costs.
The World Class Container service allows moving a single room across the country significantly faster without paying premium shipping rates. All while retaining the full services of a professional mover.
At the same time, you receive your items up to 55% FASTER than traditional transport services – cutting your costs for hotels & dining out by up to half! This allows you to settle into your new home quickly, while delivery trucks ensure the secure and timely delivery of storage containers to your new location.
Cost efficient solutions
Normally when moving long distance everything is calculated by the total weight / the more you take, the more expensive it gets.
Our portable moving containers leverage standardized sizes and a proven transportation process to bring you additional savings, even with expedited services.
With our new container solutions targeted toward smaller moves, you are not charged by the weight, but a fixed flat rate per container.
You’ll receive a precise estimate based on the container size, making it easy to plan and budget for your move. This eliminates any surprises, making the delivery of storage containers an affordable option.
Our specialized moving containers can hold close to 300 cu ft of space (appx H:7’10” L:7’6″ W:5′). Well over 30% larger than standard “lift vans” used for moving from Canada to US or other international relocations!
It’s a simple process: If it fits in the container, it will go!
Do you need more space? Simply add another container & they will be delivered together. It’s as simple as that. No need to worry about extra space or hidden fees, just a fixed, predictable rate.

Also, all cardboard, bubble wrap & packing materials used are recycled, and whenever possible recycled materials are used.
