Efficiently and conveniently. We are transforming the self-storage business by offering individuals, families and businesses a new way to store small and large items. We come to you. You do not need to lift a finger! We’ll drop off free STASH boxes for you to use on the day and time you request and then will come back and pick them up on the day and time you request (maybe it’s the same day, maybe it’s a different day).
