The “Big Box Storage” Rental Experience

Although we’re constantly trying to ensure that our website provides San Diego storage renters with as much relevant information regarding our portable storage service as possible, there will always be some customers that still have questions unique to their situation. Questions that we’re happy to assist with. In an attempt to help provide a more insightful overview of exactly what customers should expect when renting a storage unit from Big Box Storage of San Diego, we’re pleased to offer the following summary.

Ordering a Big Box

Once the storage renter has decided on Big Box Storage as their storage company (a very good choice), they can either schedule a “Big Box” delivery over the phone by calling 1-800-391-4890 or schedule here.

Although scheduling over the phone will enable the customer to deal directly with a friendly, helpful representative, many customers prefer the convenience offered by scheduling via our website. Customers who schedule online also receive an additional $25 discount for doing so (UPDATE: as noted at the top of the page, blog readers actually receive $50 off – please mention promo code BL50 when scheduling).

The Big Box delivery

The delivery of the Big Box will take place on the day and time you request. Big Box Storage delivers seven days per week and delivery time windows are set for either 8am to 11am, 11am to 2pm, or 2pm to 5pm (whichever you prefer). Please note that you do need to be present at the time of the Big Box delivery, however the driver will call you 30 minutes prior to let you know that he is on the way.

Upon arrival at your San Diego area address, the driver will provide you with the customer documentation (rental agreement, invoice, etc.). Should you have any additional questions, he’ll be happy to address them. Beyond such, the driver will then unload the empty Big Box from the truck and place it wherever you wish. Ideally the Big Box can be placed as close as possible to the entryway to your address so as to minimize the time involved with loading items into it from your home. Although we need to abide by any local ordinances when placing a Big Box, generally speaking, the Big Box can easily fit wherever a car might otherwise be parked (curbside, in a driveway, etc.)

The Big Box Pickup

Unlike the delivery, you are not required to be present at the time of the Big Box pickup. The driver will merely come out to your San Diego address on the day you requested between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Upon arrival, he’ll then load the Big Box(es) onto the truck and transport it/them back to our main San Diego storage facility for secure indoor storing.

While in Storage

As mentioned, cnce the Big Box(es) has been picked up from your San Diego address, it is transported back to one of the Big Box Storage facilities where it is securely stored inside. Our main San Diego facility, which is over 50,000 square feet, is conveniently located at 7077 Consolidated Way, San Diego, CA 92121. Secure measures at the facility include perimeter alarms, motion sensors, exterior fencing, video surveillance, and on-site staffing.

Once the Big Box is in storage, you’ll find the overall rental experience to be somewhat similar to that of renting a storage unit from a conventional San Diego self-storage company in the sense that you can access your storage unit as much (or as little) as you wish. Our offices are open seven days per week (with the exception of major holidays) from 7:30am to 6:30pm. Big Box access hours are daily from 10am to 5pm. Please note that a two hour advance notice is required prior to any storage unit access. This time window provides our staff with time to move your Big Box from its secure storage space into the customer access area. Once in the access area, you’ll be able to literally drive right up to the Big Box unit if you wish (no long hallways, no elevators to worry about, etc.).

Monthly storage rental fees are due on the first of each month. Payments can be made by any of the following methods:
