Public pricing is a starting point, not a quote for your move. Check dates, inventory, access, fees and optional services directly.

What the service offers

  • Portable moving and storage containers delivered to the customer’s location.
  • Safe and secure transportation of moving and storage containers.
  • Secure, temperature-controlled storage at Zippy Shell storage centers.

Practical considerations

These are features and tradeoffs to weigh—not review scores or a claim that one provider is the best for everyone.

Potential advantages

  • Combines self-paced packing with optional transportation and storage, allowing customers to coordinate moving and storage through one provider.
  • Long-distance moves include 30 days of storage, which can provide transition time between locations.

Tradeoffs to check

  • Customers may need to pack and load the container themselves, so the service can require substantial hands-on work unless additional help is arranged.
  • Availability and quoted terms can vary by location and move size, so the service may not be suitable in every origin or destination area.
