What the alternatives cost
Cardboard. Forty medium boxes from a hardware store run about $80 to $120, plus tape, paper and an hour of assembly. They hold less than a tote, they cannot be stacked full without crushing, and they go in the recycling when you are done. A 1-bedroom move usually needs 50 to 60 boxes, so the real number is closer to $150 with supplies.
Per-day crate rental. Rental crates priced by the day typically run about $0.35 per crate per day, plus a delivery charge of $15 to $30 each way. Forty crates for 14 days at that rate is about $196 plus $30 to $60 in delivery, and the bill grows every day the move runs long. Our packages are a flat two weeks, and a late return costs one extra week at the package rate, not a day count.
Pick-up-yourself crate programs. Some national programs rent crates from a counter you drive to and return to. Before you count on one, check where the nearest counter actually is: for Rochester it may be a long drive, and you make the trip twice.
How to pick a size
Count rooms, not square feet. A kitchen takes 12 to 15 totes, each bedroom 8 to 10 each, a living room 6 to 8, closets and linens 4 to 6. Add them up, then size up: totes you never open ride back with us at no charge, and running short on moving day costs more than $4 a tote ever will. The calculator on the packages page does this for you.
The numbers on this page
Package prices, extra-week prices and deposits come straight from our booking system, the same figures the checkout charges, so this page cannot disagree with it. The cardboard and per-day figures are typical Rochester-area prices as of October 2026; check current ones before you decide. We update this guide when prices change.
