Escaping the cold for a sunny winter? You’re not alone. Every year, thousands of retirees and remote workers head south to avoid snowstorms and short days. But what happens to your household goods while you’re gone? That’s where a smarter, more flexible storage solution comes in.
Store your stuff safely and enjoy your getaway worry-free.

FlyBox is redefining winter storage for snowbirds with a simple, tech-powered system that picks up your belongings, stores them in climate controlled storage, and brings them back when you return. No storage units. No moving trucks. Just effortless, month-to-month peace of mind.

What Is Snowbird Storage?

"Snowbird storage" refers to short- to mid-term storage designed for people who temporarily relocate during the winter. Most commonly, it’s used by retirees and remote workers who spend part of the year in warmer climates, but want to keep their primary homes clutter-free and secure while they’re away.

Unlike traditional storage units, snowbird storage doesn’t require renting a truck, driving to a facility, or locking yourself into a long-term contract. It’s a seasonal solution tailored to the way people move today.

With FlyBox, your snowbird storage is:

  • On-demand and picked up from your door
  • Stored in secure, climate controlled storage facilities
  • Month-to-month, no lock-in
  • Easily tracked through our app

It’s ideal for storing winter gear, household goods, and anything you won’t need in Florida, Arizona, or wherever you’re wintering.

Why Remote Workers & Retirees Need Seasonal Storage

If you're heading south for a few months, there's no reason to leave valuable items in an unattended home. Seasonal storage gives you flexibility, frees up space, and adds security.

For retirees, snowbird storage helps:

  • Avoid the hassle of keeping two fully-stocked homes
  • Make room for guests or rentals while you're away
  • Safely store irreplaceable items, decorations, and furniture

For remote workers, winter moving and storage supports:

  • Temporary relocation for digital nomads
  • Flexible housing arrangements
  • Lighter travel without leaving gear behind

Whether you're flying out for three months or six, FlyBox offers the right-size units and storage space for the lifestyle you’re living now.

Winter Storage Done Differently with FlyBox

Traditional storage involves hauling your belongings across town, signing long-term leases, and hoping your items are safe. FlyBox eliminates all of that.

Here’s how FlyBox reimagines snowbird storage:

  • We deliver FlyBoxes to your home. You pack at your own pace.
  • Each FlyBox is labeled, scanned, and photographed so you know what’s inside.
  • A FedEx driver picks them up and delivers them to our secure storage facility.

What to Store While You’re Away

Wondering what belongs in your winter storage? Here are common items snowbirds pack:

  • Winter clothing and boots
