Four steps. That's it.

No trips to a depot, no collapsing boxes, no recycling runs. We handle everything so you can focus on your move.

01

Book online

02

We deliver

Your clean, stacked crates arrive at your door — ready to open and pack. No tape, no assembly.

03

Pack & move

Lid on, stack up, load the van. Weatherproof, stackable and far stronger than cardboard.

We collect

Once you're in and unpacked, we come and pick the empty crates up. Zero fuss.

Why Boxhires
Cardboard is over.

Plastic crates are what professional removal companies have always used. Now you can hire the same crates for your home move.

01

No collapsing, no soggy bottoms

Plastic crates hold their shape fully loaded. Weatherproof lids mean rain on moving day isn't a disaster.

02

No tape needed — ever

Open the lid and pack. No folding, no tape, no assembly. Move up to five times faster than with cardboard.

03

We collect — no recycling run

When you're done, we come to you. No breaking down boxes, no trips to the tip, no cardboard pile outside.

04

Local, personal service

We're based in Saltash. WhatsApp us directly and we'll sort everything around your schedule.
