How does it work?
How many goboxes will I need?
The number of goboxes people use varies widely. You will only be charged for the storage you actually use.
A quick, rough estimate can be made using the table on this page. If you would like a more precise estimate, use our GO BOX Estimator.
For people packing up a whole house
People who are downsizing may get all the possessions they want to keep into 3 goboxes. The majority of our customers pack up their house into 5 or 6 goboxes, which is the equivalent of a 5 ton truck (24'). Some people who are packing up a large house with a full basement, garage and workshop need 7 or 8 goboxes.
Example of what will fit in your goboxes
| Number | Example of what will fit |
