Moving Box Rental in Fresno, Clean Bins Delivered, Picked Up When You're Done

How Moving Box Rental Works From Delivery to Pickup

The question we get the most is how this works., it's incredibly straightforward. We deliver clean, stackable, plastic moving boxes directly to your door here in Fresno. You pack and move, and when you're finished, we come retrieve them.

The process goes like this:

1. Choose a bundle that corresponds to the size of your home. We carry bundles for studios, two-bedroom homes and four-bedroom homes.
2. Schedule a delivery date at your convenience. And yes, you don't need to provide a deposit.
3. We deliver and drop off your moving bins at the front door, all stacked up and ready to be filled. We include an additional free week in each rental as well.
4. You pack up your belongings. No need for packing tape. The lids attach securely to the moving boxes, they stack securely and nothing gets crushed like with cardboard boxes.
5. Unpack at your pace when you move into your new home.
6. Once you're finished packing, simply text or call us to come pickup the moving bins from your new place. It's that simple.

The entire process takes less than five minutes to arrange online. We provide delivery throughout a 40-mile radius of Fresno, whether that means you are moving near the Tower District or to a new area in Clovis.

What often surprises first-time renters is that they do not need to go to a big-box store, break down cardboard boxes at midnight, or recycle an entire wall's worth of cardboard. The moving bins arrive clean, you utilize them and they are gone once you no longer need them.

Want wardrobe boxes for your clothes? A furniture dolly or a hand truck? Packing paper? We deliver all of those along with the moving bins. One delivery, one pickup, one provider. We see Fresno residents attempting to gather their moving supplies from three separate stores, which does not work nearly as well as having everything appear right there on your porch.

Not certain on how many moving boxes your home will need? Give us a call at (559) 470-7904 and a member of our team can walk you through the process in approximately two minutes.

Plastic Rental Bins vs. Cardboard Boxes in Fresno's Summer Heat

Fresno residents are already aware that our summers can be quite intense. We routinely see temperatures between triple digits from June through September. And sometimes we see temperatures of 110 degrees or higher. But we may not consider what this heat does to your moving boxes if they are left in a garage or on top of a moving truck for even an hour or two.

Cardboard breaks down quite quickly when exposed to heat. In particular, it absorbs moisture from the air, even the dry heat that is typical in the Central Valley. The adhesive softens and begins to fail. The corners warp and bend. Stack five loaded cardboard boxes in the back of a pickup on a July afternoon near Tower District, and the bottom box is already buckling before you pull out of the driveway. We see this every single week during peak moving season. Plastic moving boxes don't have that problem. They're built to handle temperature swings without losing shape. Our reusable moving bins stack flat and lock into place, so they won't shift or collapse even when it's scorching outside. No tape holding them shut. No flaps popping open mid-carry. Here's what that difference actually looks like on moving day in Fresno:

• Cardboard gets damp and soft if left in a non-air-conditioned garage overnight, plastic stays rigid
• Cardboard tape loses its stick above 100 degrees, plastic bins have attached lids that snap closed
• Cardboard boxes crushed on the bottom of a stack can damage dishes and electronics inside
• Plastic moving boxes protect contents even when stacked six or seven high in a hot truck

And here's the part people don't expect. After you're done unpacking, those soggy cardboard boxes become your problem. You've got to break them down, haul them to the curb, hope recycling picks them up. With a moving box rental from EZPak Bins, we come pick everything up from your new place. Done. Folks who've tried both tell us the same thing. They can't believe they ever wrestled with cardboard in this heat. If you're moving anywhere in Fresno this summer, plastic reusable moving boxes aren't just easier. They're the only option that makes sense when it's 107 outside.

How Many Bins You Actually Need for Your Home Size

This is the question we get more than any other. And, it's the one that matters most because ordering too few moving boxes means a second trip, and ordering too many means bins sitting empty in your hallway. We've delivered to apartments near Fresno State, family homes in the Tower District, and big houses out by Fort Washington. After hundreds of moves across Fresno, we've got a solid feel for what works. Here's a rough guide based on home size:

1. Studio or one-bedroom apartment: 15 to 20 reusable moving boxes. Enough for a kitchen, closet, bathroom, and a few odds and ends. Most people in this range are surprised how fast they fill up.
2. Two-bedroom home: 25 to 35 plastic moving bins. You've got more kitchen gear, maybe a guest room full of stuff you forgot about. We see this every single week.
3. Three-bedroom home: 40 to 55 moving boxes. Kids' rooms, a random storage garage, hall closets stacked to the ceiling. This is where the cardboard starts to really fall apart, literally.
4. Four bedrooms or more: 60 to 80 reusable moving bins. The big homes in Fresno come with big garages and the big garages tend to be full.

These estimates are for the typical household items, books, dishware, clothes, bathroom products, the pantry stuff. If you are adding a home office or craft room, add 5 to 10 more bins. The same goes if you have a really full garage.

Don't know which group you fall into? You aren't alone. It takes a two-minute phone call for us to give you an accurate number. We'll ask about your rooms and come back to you with the right estimate. We won't have you guessing or over-ordering.

Keep in mind our boxes stack up cleaner and carry more than a cardboard box. This means you will use less. Moving friends in Clovis have told us that they thought they would need a whole lot more moving bins than needed until they opened up their bin to pack and saw how much actually fit inside!

Reserving Early During Fresno's Busy Moving Season

Fresno summers are crazy for two reasons. 1. Heat. 2. People moving.

We watch this happen every year. From about late May to early September, our moving boxes rentals book up quickly. Families are hoping to be done before the school year begins. Students going to or leaving Fresno State. Apartments and houses are changing hands. June's last 2 weekends are also crazy for rentals too. If you are waiting to reserve your reusable moving boxes until the last week you are moving you can easily be out of luck.

When to Reserve Your Moving Boxes

What we usually suggest our customers in the Tower District and other parts of Fresno is to reserve their bins 2 weeks before their moving date during the busy season and 3 weeks is even better. This leaves room for us to have a free delivery scheduled. This also gives you room for wiggle room should your moving date change (remember, we offer a free rental week for all rental boxes so no worries there).

Still not sure when our busy season is? These are our busiest times:

• Late May to mid June, right when school lets out
• End July to August, leading to fall semester
• Last weekend of the month, most leases turn over then

Outside of that, you can usually reserve your boxes only a few days before your move. During the busy months though, our reusable moving boxes are flying back and forth on the Fresno and Clovis road. You may be surprised to hear: we don't make you pay a deposit to lock in your moving bin delivery date. No deposit required ever. And we don't ask you to wait until July to book your move. We ask that you reserve your spot, decide how many boxes you'll need, and we'll tell you the window when your moving bins will get dropped off. That's all. You've got one less thing on your moving to-do list if you reserve at (559) 470-7904 online. The last-minute customers that panic are the ones that don't book until the second week of July. And apartment deliveries can require a little more planning. Fresno has a lot of apartments – from the complexes along Shields and Herndon to the older apartment units near the Tower District, we deliver our moving bins to apartment buildings all the time. But just like any residential delivery, there is one simple thing that makes our job much easier on your delivery day. Let us know what access situation you have when you book. Everything else? We'll do on our own. We'll help make your delivery process go quickly if you include this information:

• Gate code or callbox number if it's a gated community
• Building number and unit number rather than a street address
• Parking restrictions, especially loading zone timeframes
• If you have an elevator or are in a walk-up

The same thing happens every single week. Someone books a delivery but only gives us their apartment building name, then we are sitting in the street texting you, and you don't have your moving boxes until you call us back. A note about your access situation on your booking saves you a lot of headaches and us a lot of wasted time. We'll bring the moving boxes to your ground-floor location (if you're in a 2nd or 3rd floor apartment building) to near your building door. We neatly stack them on top of a furniture dolly for you to roll right to your door or elevator entrance. And our plastic bins are stackable, so they take up less hallway space than a stack of half-crushed cardboard.

Pickup Day in Your Apartment

You just stack the used boxes back on top of each other. When you're moving out, we pick up your plastic moving boxes. We'll show up at your delivery spot and we collect the boxes. You don't have to hunt down a recycling container or drive to a nearby dumpster to empty your cardboard moving bins. We'll take the bins right then and there. And no, we don't require a deposit at all, we won't charge you any deposit, ever. Did we mention there's never a deposit required for apartment deliveries? Our drivers regularly deliver to buildings near Woodward Park and Fresno State. It doesn't matter if you're in a four-unit apartment building on the way to Sanger, or a gated apartment complex in north Fresno, we just need to know about your access to move in with your moving bins. Have any doubts about whether the delivery process will work in your apartment situation? Give us a call at (559) 470-7904 and we'll figure it out together.
