Frequently Asked Questions
1. What Items can I store?
Just about anything! As long as it is under 50lbs, smaller than 15 cubic feet and doesn’t break any of our storage rules. So nothing fragile, hazardous, perishable, illegal or unsafe please.
2. What fits in a storage bin?
You don’t need to be a Tetris expert! Our bins are 3 cubic feet (16”W x 24”L x 13”H) and can hold up to 50 lbs, so you’ve got plenty of room to store your things. Can’t picture it? Each bin can store approximately 12 pairs of shoes, 30 shirts, 12 sweaters or 50 baby onesies.
3. What is the 3-month minimum storage rule?
There is a 3-month minimum storage rule for your first pick-up. Don’t worry, we will still deliver your belongings back to you whenever you need them, even within this time. If you do decide to take everything out of storage before the 3 months are up, you can, but will still be charged for the remaining time.
4. How do I prepare for my pick-up?
The best way to prepare for pick-up and save time is to gather all your items in one place. Bonus points if you can group them into bin size piles that are easy to pack! It’s also useful to try and pack items together that you’ll need returned at the same time. For example, Christmas ornaments in one bin, clothing in another. This way, you won’t get items back before you’re ready. Any items that you think might need a little extra padding would probably benefit from some bubble wrap or packing paper too.
5. Do I need to have my stuff packed before you arrive?
When we pick up your items the first hour is always free, with any additional hours just $30 each. So gathering your items together, before we arrive, can speed up the pick-up time and help you stay within the free hour. We also recommend that items not going into bins are packed securely before hand. This means taping up any loose cords or wrapping the item in bubble wrap.
6. What can I pack my stuff in?
If you don’t want to use the free ShuffleSpace storage bins for any reason we promise not to take it personally. Any sealable, durable container that is under 15 cubic feet, such as a suitcase, covered plastic bin or sturdy box will work. We won’t collect items in plastic or paper bags as they can rip or collapse quite easily.
7. What areas does Shufflespace serve?

8. How much does it cost to store my things?
With ShuffleSpace, you don’t pay for space you don’t use, just the items you store. It’s just $7 per storage bin and $12 per item. Try out our pricing calculator and see what it would cost to store your items.
9. How am I billed for the service?
You are billed on a monthly basis for the items you have in storage on your billing cycle date. Your billing cycle date is based on the day of your first scheduled pick-up and will be the same day each following month. Additional charges for Delivery fees are charged on the day the delivery is completed.
10. When will I receive my first bill?
We like to do our bit for the environment so we don’t issue paper bills (it also means you’ll never misplace or lose one). You can view your entire transaction history by logging into your account. Your first transaction will occur once your first pick-up is complete. If you need a printable invoice for any reason, please email us at support@35.182.158.121.
