Prohibited and Discouraged Items List

To help keep everyone safe and ensure your belongings are stored securely, we’ve created a list of items that we ask you not to store in your FlyBox. Some things — like flammable materials or illegal items — are prohibited, which means they’re never allowed in storage. Others — like food, plants, or very delicate electronics — are discouraged, meaning we don’t recommend storing them because they could cause problems, be damaged, or attract pests. Please review the list below to avoid issues and keep your FlyBox experience worry-free.
