Storage between homes
Storage between homes: chain delays, rental gaps, secondments and moves abroad
Chain broken, tenancy ended, contract over, moving abroad or back. We collect the contents of a flat or the overflow of a house on your postcode's day, store it in Oxfordshire for a month or a year, and deliver it to the new address anywhere in Britain on its day. Fifteen boxes, two suitcases and two named items is £99 a month.
Nearly half of recent movers hit a chain delay. Tenancies end before the next one starts. Secondments and postings abroad leave a flat's worth of belongings with nowhere to go. BoxSpeed takes the small-to-medium consignment that a removals van and a self storage unit are both wrong for: we come to the door with two crew, carry, store securely, and bring it back to wherever you land.
Consignments up to about 100 cu ft (a small room's worth) book online in two minutes. Larger loads book the same way and we confirm the crew by email. If you need a whole house moved, our sister removals company in the same group does that with a container quote; email us and we introduce you.

How it works
Enter your postcode

Count your boxes
Boxes, suitcases, bikes, chairs, a mattress. The price updates as you count: £7.95 a box, £39 collection, never more than £99 a month per 250 cu ft.
We collect and carry
Two crew arrive in the window we text you the evening before, scan every label, photograph the condition, and carry everything out. Thirty minutes, usually less.
Stored in Oxfordshire
Sealed crates and containers in an alarmed warehouse with a scan in and out for every item. Your inventory is online. Monthly billing from the day we collect.
Between homes: questions
How much notice do you need?
Three days before your area's day. Chains fall through at short notice, so if your day is tomorrow, email us and we will try to fit you on the run.
Can you collect from one address and return to another city?
Yes, that is the point. Returns go to any address in any of our 117 areas for the same £39.
Do you take furniture?
Named items (chairs, small tables, TVs, bikes) and bulky items (mattress, small sofa, cabinet, desk) yes. A three-piece suite and a dining table for eight is a job for our sister removals company; we will point you there.
