Simple process

Four steps. That's it.

No trips to a depot, no collapsing boxes, no recycling runs. We handle everything so you can focus on your move.

01

Book online

Tell us how many boxes, what sizes, and your delivery date. We'll confirm within the hour.

02

We deliver

Your clean, stacked boxes arrive at your door — ready to open and pack. No tape, no assembly.

03

Pack & move

Lid on, stack up, load the van. Weatherproof, stackable and far stronger than cardboard.

04

We collect

Once you're in and unpacked, we come and pick the empty boxes up. Zero fuss.

The complete move

We deliver, you pack,
we drive it there.

No removal company needed. Pack at your own pace over days or weeks, then we collect the loaded trailer and drive it to your new home anywhere in Cornwall and Devon.

Why boxhires

Cardboard is over.

Plastic boxes are what professional removal companies have always used. Now you can hire the same boxes for your home move.

01

No collapsing, no soggy bottoms

Plastic boxes hold their shape fully loaded. Weatherproof lids mean rain on moving day isn't a disaster.

02

No tape needed — ever

Open the lid and pack. No folding, no tape, no assembly. Move up to five times faster than cardboard.

03

We collect — no recycling run

When you're done, we come to you. No breaking down boxes, no trips to the tip, no cardboard pile outside.

04

Local, personal service

We're based in Saltash. WhatsApp us directly and we'll sort everything around your schedule.
