What can I store in a RedBox container?

You are responsible for packing your belongings and ensuring that items are safely wrapped in bubble wrap or packaging paper as necessary. All items should be carefully packed so that they can be safely transported and stored.

How do I know how many containers I need?

Each RedBox container measures 60L x 40W x 31.5H (cm). We have provided examples on our website of what could be stored in a container for your reference. We can provide extra containers for you and we will collect any empty ones along with the full ones. Don’t worry, you will only ever be charged for containers that you actually use when it comes to our door-to-door mini storage solution. If you have packed your containers and still need more, just give us a call or order online and we’ll send you more empty containers to store your items.

Is there a weight limit?

From a health and safety perspective, it is important that each RedBox container or any other item does not weigh more than 20kg. Our employees move many containers every day and this is an important consideration for them. If you have heavy items such as books, please separate them into multiple containers If a container is too heavy when we come to collect it, we may ask that the items be split into separate containers. Goods exceeding the 20kg limit per individual box or item may, at our discretion, be charged as two or more items depending on the total weight of the box or item.

How do I securely close my RedBox container?

Ensure everything is well packaged with no items overflowing outside the container. The two parts of the lid should interlock and then you can add two RedBox tamper-evident security locks into the rectangular hole in the centre at either end of the container.

How long can I keep the empty containers for before they are picked up?

For the Door-To-Door (D2D) storage service, please schedule a collection of your filled containers within 1 week from the date that the containers were delivered to you. Once the 1 week period has passed we will need to charge you as if the containers were in storage. We can also wait for up to 15 minutes while you pack your stuff. Anything over 15 minutes will be charged at HK$50 per 30 minutes.

Will you open my containers?

No. You pack and seal each container with our tamper-evident seals and we won’t open them. However, in the rare case that we suspect that there is something dangerous, illegal or smelly inside, or if required by the authorities we may need to open the container. In such cases, we will do our best to contact you beforehand.

Can I use my own boxes to store my belongings?

Assuming that the box size is similar to that of our containers and does not weigh more than 20kg, you may store your own boxes.

We hold the right to refuse to store any boxes if we are not comfortable with the quality of the box or its dimensions. Storage of goods not packed in RedBox containers is stored at your own risk.

What happens if I miss a payment?

While we understand there may be unforeseen circumstances that lead to a delay in payment, we will be required to impose fees for delinquent payments after a few reminders. In the case of missed payments for an extended period of 60 days, we may be left with no choice but to auction off your items in order to settle outstanding payments, administrative fees, etc. Please see our terms and conditions for further details. This is why it is always important to ensure that your contact information and credit card information are kept up to date.
