Why Use FlyBox When Moving?

No two moves are exactly the same and that's why flexible storage can make all the difference. Whether you're trying to sell your home, waiting for closing dates, or just hoping to stay organized, storage gives you breathing room when you need it most.

1. Declutter Before You List Your Home

A clean, open space helps sell your home faster. With FlyBox, you can store seasonal items or personal belongings to make your home feel larger and more inviting for showings.

2. Bridge the Gap Between Homes

If your moving dates don’t line up perfectly, moving storage gives you a safe place to keep your things until you’re ready. With FlyBox’s flexible pickup and drop-off, you can store your items short-term without scrambling for last-minute options.

3. Simplify Packing and Organizing

Moving in stages? Use FlyBox to store packed boxes as you go. You don’t have to live among piles of moving supplies. With FlyBox, we’ll pick them up and keep them safe until you need them again.

4. Easy Delivery to Your New Place

Once you’re ready, FlyBox will deliver your stored items right to your new doorstep. No truck rentals, no storage unit visits, no hauling. Just tap your phone and we’ll bring your things to you.

Traditional Storage vs FlyBox for Moving

When you think of storage during a move, you might picture the usual route: rent a storage unit, load up a truck, haul your stuff, unload it all… and then repeat the whole process when you move into your new place.

That’s traditional storage—and it works, but it’s not always convenient.

What Traditional Storage Involves:

  • Finding and renting a storage unit  
  • Renting or borrowing a truck
  • Loading, driving, and unloading
  • Managing access hours and keys
  • Paying for space you may not fully use

Now enter FlyBox: storage built for modern moves.

What FlyBox Offers Instead:

  • No driving: We deliver FlyBoxes to your door.
  • Pack on your schedule: You don’t have to move everything at once.
  • Pickup included: We handle the transport—no truck rentals or moving day chaos.
  • On-demand returns: Get your things back exactly when you need them.
  • Only pay for what you use: No oversized units or wasted space.

FlyBox turns a multi-step, all-day chore into a few taps on your phone—ideal for anyone who wants a low-stress move with fewer moving parts.

Moving Storage Tips to Maximize Efficiency

Smart storage isn’t just about having space it’s about using that space wisely. With a little planning, you can streamline your move, stay organized, and avoid last-minute stress.

Pack Non-Essentials First

Start with items you won’t need right away—seasonal clothes, books, decor, or spare kitchenware. Packing these early clears space at home and gives you momentum.

Label Everything

Be specific with labels: “Kitchen – Glassware” is more helpful than just “Fragile.” If you’re using FlyBox, don’t forget to name and describe each box in the app for easy tracking and retrieval.

Group by Room or Function

Organize boxes by room or use (bedroom, tools, holiday items). It’ll make unpacking easier and help you prioritize which boxes to get back first.

Use Vertical Space

Pack your FlyBoxes strategically, using the full depth and height of each container. Stack items with care: heavier items on the bottom, lighter on top, with cushioning in between.

Keep Essentials Out

Before moving day, make a list of what not to store like documents, daily toiletries, or chargers. Keep a “first night” bag ready so you’re not digging through boxes to brush your teeth.

FAQs About Moving with Storage

Should I get a storage unit before I move?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or short on space, absolutely. Getting storage set up before your move gives you more flexibility. You can declutter, pack in stages, and create breathing room before the real chaos begins. With FlyBox, you don’t even need to rent a unit—we’ll bring the storage to you and pick it up when you’re ready.

Will moving companies deliver to storage units?

Some do, but it usually costs extra and you still have to coordinate access, keys, and timing. With FlyBox, you skip the back-and-forth. We pick up directly from your door and deliver to your new address whenever you’re ready. No coordination headaches. No hidden fees.

What happens if I leave stuff in a storage unit when I move out?

Traditional storage units often charge late fees or dispose of items left behind. It’s important to cancel your contract and empty the unit on time. With FlyBox, you never have to worry about that. Your items stay securely stored in our storage facilities until you request them back. You’re in control from start to finish.
