- Most liquor stores and grocery stores are now participating in recycling programs and will no longer part with their empty boxes.
- The big disadvantage with free boxes is that you end up with a random mix of box sizes that do not pack well together. Void spaces between the boxes mean more everything – more “trips” for the movers carrying boxes out to the truck, more space used on the moving truck, more “trips” for the movers, and then more space needed for storage, resulting in a bigger storage unit.
- Buying new boxes was the way to go. New boxes are “new” obviously and are in great shape. Whether you are moving yourself or hiring someone to move you, purpose-built moving boxes are far more efficient, as boxes of uniform size can be packed closely together with no void spaces between the boxes.

Frequently Asked Self Storage Questions
What size storage unit is right for me?
Finding the right storage unit depends on the number of possessions you plan on storing at our facility. The more items you have, the more space you’ll need. At every Bluebird facility, we offer units ranging from below 5’ x 5’ to 10’ x 30’ or even larger, so you can find the right amount of storage space. To find the right unit size, explore our Storage Unit Size Guide or read this resource to see which unit fits your needs best.
Can I buy boxes and packing supplies at Bluebird?
Yes! If you’re about to move into a storage unit, our facility offers moving and storage supplies that help protect your belongings. Our supplies range from boxes, packing tape, mattress and furniture covers, and so much more!
How long can I rent a unit?
We don’t have any long-term agreements at Bluebird, so you can rent your unit for as little as a month or two or upwards of a year if you’d like! If circumstances change, we can always extend or shorten your storage stay with us.
How do I access my storage unit?
You, selected family, and any business associates can access your local facility by using our secure keypad entry using a personal security code. Individual units are protected by a lock that is only accessible by the customer. Only contacts you authorize will be able to access your unit.
Typical daily access hours are from 6AM - 11PM, so you can always access your stuff when you need it. Check with the location nearest you for more information about access hours.
