Where do I get the boxes?

The boxes can be obtained 3 ways:

  1. Pick it up at our office located at (400 Oyster Point Blvd, Suite 135, South San Francisco CA 94080). You will need to make a deposit of $4.00/box and we will reinburse you $4.00/box after you have receive your bill.
    For example, you need only 5 boxes, you will have to make a deposit payment of 5 x $4.00= $20.00 first. After all you boxes are ready to be shipped and your total bill shows $400, we will deduct $20.00 from it so you only need to pay $400-$20=$380 for your total bill.
    Please call us 3 days before picking up, so we can pre-order the boxes for you in advance.

  2. Buy it online at U-Line, where they will deliver it to your door step. We will reinburse you $3.50/box. Please note that you will need to purchase a minimum of 10 boxes if you get it online.
    For example, if you purchase 10 boxes ($2.70/box), U-Line will charge you a total of 10 x $2.70 + Shipping charges (varies depending on location) to your door. If your total is $40 for your boxes, we will reinburse you $3.50/box, so in essence, you will only need to pay $5 for your boxes. $40 - ($3.50 x 10)= $5.
    Please keep your proof of purchase so we can reinburse you.

  3. Using your own boxes preferably using dimension of 24x20x18. If dimension differs, we will charge accordingly. For example, if your boxes are bigger, we will consider it as 2-3 boxes depending based on our dimension 24x20x18. If your boxes are smaller, we will still count it as 1 box based on our dimension.

Important Note:

  1. Please keep your proof of purchase with you as this is the only way that we are able to reinburse you.
  2. A minimum of 10 boxes in required if purchased online.

What to do after I got the boxes ??

Its time to pack your personal belonglings ! A few things to keep in mind:

  • The maximum weight for one box is 60 lb. Anything in excess will incure an additional charge of $1.50/lb.
  • Try to average out the weight by combining heavy items with lighter ones among your boxes so it will be within the 60 lb limit and also gentler on your back.
  • Make sure the boxes are filled up so it won't compromise the structure of the box when place on top of each other.
  • Seal your boxes tightly.
  • Label your boxes clearly. Make sure your name on the labels match your official documented name. For example, don't put "Sam" on your box label, but instead put your full name "Samuel Johnnathan".
