Got a question? Here are some of the questions we get asked all the time!
Are the boxes environmentally friendly?
Our durable plastic boxes are far more environmentally friendly than ordinary cardboard boxes. They are reusable and this decreases the amount of waste sent to landfill sites and at the end of the box’s lifecycle can be recycled.
Are my items insured when they are stored?
Yes. We highly recommend storage insurance to all our customers. We’ll be happy to arrange for insurance coverage for you or if you have your own insurance coverage simply provide us a copy of your insurance plan.
Can I go to your storage facility directly if I want to add or take away items?
To ensure the highest standards of security, we do not allow you to access your box at our storage warehouse facility, but we are more than happy to arrange deliveries or collections at times that are convenient for you.
Do you open the boxes we store?
Your Cube Mini boxes will be sealed with unique numbered security seals. Unless we have a legitimate legal concern or are under direction from customs or police officers, we will not open your boxes.
