Moving is one of the most stressful experiences in life. On top of finding a new place to live, paying a lot of money, cleaning, and everything else, packing things up is time-consuming and frustrating. Well, it is if you use cardboard boxes! I chose Lend A Box for my recent move and it was a million times easier than using cardboard. Instead of hoarding boxes from my office, or wasting money on purchasing cardboard boxes (that I then would have to spend hours taping together anyway), they delivered sturdy plastic boxes to my doorstep. So I was able to start packing immediately. On the day of my move, all I had to do was roll my boxes out the door and stack them neatly into the truck. It saved me so much time and prevented a lot of stress. Then after I moved, I just unpacked my stuff and Lend A Box picked up the empty boxes - which is especially nice because my new condo doesn't allow residents to put cardboard boxes in the dumpsters/trash. Moving can be really frustrating, so having one less thing to worry about during a move is well worth it! I definitely recommend that all my friends ditch the cardboard and check out Lend A Box. read more

This is the best box rental company I've ever used! I used another one previously and while they were good, Lend a box was better! Everyone who works there is so nice, helpful and professional! Especially Stephanie, she was extremely considerate and understanding. I had to push back my pickup date a few times and she, plus Nicole, were always accommodating. Plus, the price is really affordable! They even gave me a military discount. It's always great to find a small business who supports the military. On top of the customer service being wonderful, the fact that they drop off and pick up at your home is very convenient. Also, I like the fact that it's economically friendly. It was also very easy for the people helping me move to carry the boxes and they fit very nicely in the moving truck. The packing supplies they provide were nice too. They even give you a thank you gift for choosing them. I would 100% recommend Lend a Box to anyone who is moving. This can be a stressful experience and all the employees at Lend a Box made my move that much smoother! Thank you so much! read more

My husband gave me groans and side eyes, when I told him we were going to hire LEND A BOX! In explaining the concept, he was not sold, UNTIL he arrived home in the evening from work and saw the nice stack-ables/wardrobe boxes! This was one of the best decisions we ever made! Moving is stressful enough but we had an awesome experience. A couple of days before our delivery, we received a confirmation call for time-frame and the order placed. On the day of delivery, Stephanie and Logan (the most adorable kid you would ever meet) arrived! Logan was very knowledgeable about the concept. He showed me how to use the boxes, and how to assemble the wardrobe boxes! Some advice, make sure to the put the labels on the sides of the boxes so you can see what's inside! Our movers "Brown Moving Company" (Amazing Moving Company!) were so impressed with our organization and the LEND A BOXES, they moved us in no time flat! On the day of pick up - Stephanie's Dad was so sweet, kind and professional. He called 10 minutes BEFORE pickup! I would use this company again in a heart beat! Great pricepoint and EXCELLENT service. Don't hesitate, hire LEND A BOX!!!! Continue to save the environment!! read more

I will never move without using this company again. Having incredibly durable, stackable boxes (that you don't have to assemble or break down) delivered to and retrieved directly from my door removed a huge stress. It streamlined my packing and moving process so much! Simply put --they have a fantastic and ingenious product. They are dependable. They are friendly and professional. And you will thank yourself profusely after you use their services. read more

Easy to book (love being able to schedule online!), great prices, and kind, communicative employees. So much easier than boxes and packing tape. It was such a sigh of relief to have all of the boxes picked up and gone at the end of the week after our move. Definitely will use again for any future moves in the DMV! read more

I had a local move and didn't want to bother with cardboard boxes. Enter Lend A Box. Since my move was small, I opted to pick up the boxes because I didn't need enough to meet the delivery minimum. I only got 6 small boxes and 1 wardrobe - all were super clean and ready to use. The 6 small boxes fit perfectly in the back of my Subaru Outback without having to stack them. The small boxes are a good size, easy to carry, and stack nicely - no tape needed! I only got 6 because I'd pack & load, drive to my new place, unload & unpack, and repeat. The wardrobe box held a good amount of clothes, and was easy to use and also fit, fully loaded, in my Subaru with 3 of the small boxes. I returned them at the end of the week. It was easy to reserve the boxes. The staff are all super friendly and easy to work with. The only downside is that if you pick up the boxes, you have to drive to their location in Chantilly, which was a bit of a haul for me. It would be nice if they had additional pick up/drop off points. But I would definitely use them again as I had a super easy move. read more

Lend A Box was the best part of our move. From the initial call, the employees all seemed to like what they're doing. The delivery was scheduled at a very convenient time for me and the drop off was very efficient. Again, the delivery person was very pleasant to deal with. The boxes are all in new or like new condition and were very helpful in prodding us to plan our move. The boxes are very sturdy and travel well. Two tips: 1) don't completely fill the boxes. they won't close. Leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch room. 2) label the sides of the boxes, otherwise you can't see what's in them if they're stacked. Lastly, we were promptly refunded without even requesting it for an early return. Great service, exceptional customer service, great prices. read more

Moving sucks. Anything to make it just a bit less stressful is a wonderful thing. Lend A Box is one of those things! I shopped around a bit; their prices were fair and they offered flexible rental timelines. Customer service was professional and responsive. If you don't want to deal with the gazillion cardboard boxes and rolls of tape that never seem to peel off correctly, I highly recommend this company for your next move!! read more

We just wrapped up our rental period with Lend a Box and I cannot say enough good things about it. The crates are incredibly study, easy to stack, and they are immensely useful to both move using a truck or just haul the tiny leftover things from your old place in your car. The office was incredibly helpful when we needed to change our drop-off time, and even responded to an email and picked up the crates early. Lee, our delivery and pickup guy, is AMAZING and even played around with our very anxious dog for a bit. This company provides excellent products, helps the environment, and the cost is very reasonable, especially when you think about how much time and money you save not using boxes. Use this company. You absolutely will not regret it. read more

What a great relief to be able to pack, and close with ease. Lend a Box is so much easier than using cardboard boxes. There is not taping shut boxes, or worry about getting rid of them when the move is over. Lend a Box delivers to your door, and picks up from your door. It's so simple and easy, I'll never do it another way. The customer service is outstanding, the employees super friendly and helpful. I moved a one-bedroom apartment to another one-bedroom apartment. Lots of books, and clothes. Used 20 large and 5 small. Worked like a charm. Might have used a few more if I hadn't a repurposed a bunch of old suitcases. Lend a Box also includes a wheeled sled to move them around, so when the movers brought them into the apartment, they simply wheeled them into the elevator 4 or 5 high and uploaded. So easy. Unpacking is so easy too. The boxes are sturdy and strong. Can't rave enough about this service. Thanks to all the staff at Lend a Box for such a great experience. Michael Scherger read more

I won't use Lend a Box again because they charge you more depending on the area you live in or will live in. On their website they state they service the DC metro area. My boxes were dropped off in NW DC and were to be picked up in SE DC. I was charged and 'out of area fee' for the pick up because it was a 'bad neighborhood.' If they were concerned about the safety of their employees they wouldn't charge an extra fee but instead not send their employees to the neighborhood at all. It's completely discriminatory. You can't charge people extra for a service because of where they live. I don't get charged extra from other companies like Fedex or UPS because of where I live, why is this local company doing that? They may be environmentally friendly but they're not ethical. read more

I am so happy I found this company!! One of the things I hate most about moving is how wasteful it feels with all the boxes and packaging, so I started to look into more eco-friendly options for my move and Lend A Box was the perfect option. The boxes were in great shape and nice and clean, and having boxes all the same size made everything sooo much easier. Its also great that they let you keep the boxes for a week, and drop them off/pick them up so it was extremely convenient and hassle free. I did the classic 1 bedroom package for my 1 bedroom apartment and it was the perfect amount of boxes (came with 20 large and 5 small boxes, and the dish and glasses kit). HIGHLY RECOMMEND this service. read more

I used another company to rent boxes for our last move, but when I was online searching, I came across Lend a Box. I thought it was a great concept - instead of flimsy cardboard boxes, heavy plastic boxes with a dolly. We were only moving a few townhomes down, so it was perfect. Door to door drop off and pick up - how easy is that!! I love supporting women owned businesses, particularly when they are AWESOME!!! The ladies were very punctual, very courteous, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them! read more

Moving is stressful enough. And the thought of buying boxes or hunting around for free ones is not something I want to deal with. I looked up this company and booked for a 2 week rental. Great customer service, good prices and great concept. Don't hesitate to use this company for renting boxes to include wardrobe boxes. Easy delivery and pick service included in the price! read more

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Using Lend a Box for your move is a no-brainer. The movers we used praised us for how organized and easy to move we were. I would even say that using Lend a Box cut down on the amount of time we had to pay the movers for since they were able to load everything so efficiently. The amount of time they provide you with the boxes allows you plenty of time to pack everything and unpack in your new place. Delivery and pick-up was a breeze. Right on time and a smile on their face. The zip-ties and labels were easy to use and super helpful. I have a feeling that this will become the norm when it comes to moving and I hope everyone chooses Lend a Box! read more

My boxes were delivered right on time and the delivery driver was very polite and helpful. I decided against renting two wardrobe boxes and sent them back. Within two days I had the refund for these two items in my bank account. The moving package I chose had clean, sturdy containers to put my thing in and it was such a pleasure to not have to tape up cardboard boxes and hope they hold. The containers closed easily and the zip ties secured them. It made moving a breeze and this a fantastic company. I recommend them highly. Awesome bunch!!! read more

Will never move with cardboard boxes again. This is so much easier, faster and cleaner. Lend A Box was so easy to work with, super flexible about changing pick up time and just generally nice and helpful all around. Highly recommend! read more

I used LendABox crates to help with a move from a 5 bedroom house into a 2 bedroom apartment. I kept the crates for 5 weeks marking them with the room they were to be delivered to as well as their contents. Rather than using cardboard boxes the filled crates are stackable and environmentally friendly in that they get reused. I got to give them back instead of having to find homes for hundreds of flattened cardboard boxes. The folks I worked with were great, flexible in able to meet my schedule but prompt in arriving to stop off our pick up. I strongly recommend them and would use them again. read more

Moved twice now with Lend A Box boxes, and it has been a great experience both times. Straightforward ordering and scheduling process, responsive customer service, and friendly and helpful delivery/pickup crews. The boxes are much easier to manage than cardboard before, during, and after the move, and then you don't have to figure out what to do with all of those empty boxes afterwards! Hopefully we won't be moving again soon, but if we need to, we will definitely use Lend A Box again! read more

Game changer for moving! I will never use cardboard boxes again. Personalized customer service, very easy delivery and pickup, and all-inclusive door-to-door service. Really great experience, would highly recommend Lend a Box for anyone looking to make a move easier in the DC area. read more

Lend A Box is a perfect service that provides clean and sustainable ways to pack your belongings safely. The process to reserve the boxes was very easy and customer friendly. The process of having the crates dropped off and picked up when done was just as smooth. The delivery person checked via phone to make sure the date/time worked both times and showed up during the anticipated time frame. The crates were durable and clean and made sure that none of our items broke (not one!) I would highly encourage people to use this service when moving as it made the process even less stressful which is essential in the moving process. read more

Used them for our families move several months ago. It was my wife & I's first time using them. Very satisfied with the service. They brought the boxes on time, called us when necessary and were easy to talk to when we needed an extra day with the boxes. In the end, it saved us quite a bit too. Boxes were very durable and easy to carry or roll. read more

Moving is awful, but using Lend a Box helped make it a little less awful. Being able to stack all the boxes easily saved us lots of time and space, and it was great to have them picked up afterwards rather than having to breakdown tons of cardboard boxes. Moreover, their service was phenomenal and they even graciously offered to give us a free extension upon learning that I was 9 months pregnant, with a toddler, so unpacking was taking longer than anticipated. The staff members that dropped off and picked up our boxes couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely love this company. This is my third local move in the last nine years. In the past, I've rented cardboard boxes (which is obviously better than having to scrounge for them or buy them) but renting these boxes isn't even in the same league. The boxes show up, they're easy to pack, the movers love them, and after unpacking they disappear. Moving is the worst. But these boxes make it much easier and less stressful. I will definitely hire Lend A Box again the next time I move. read more

The BEST thing to do when you move! They were really easy to communicate with, set up a time for my boxes to come, and then return the boxes. The dolly cart they provided was super helpful, and the boxes are just so much easier to pack and your moving company will love them. The fact that they are women-owned just makes it better! Love this company and will use them in the future. read more

Lend a Box was awesome!!! I realized I needed a few more boxes for my move and went with Lend a Box. I could not be happier. They also have dish and glass inserts which I HIGHLY recommend. They make packing dishes SO much easier. I got a few regular boxes and a couple of wardrobe boxes. The drop off and pickup was easy. I loved these boxes as did my movers. It made moving so much easier. In the future I'll use these for my entire move. It is well worth the price. read more

Great idea, amazing service, environmentally friendly, and an incentive to get all your stuff unpacked promptly. We would absolutely use them again. read more

I highly recommend Lend a Box! I echo all of the positive reviews that have been posted previously. The owner as well as all the staff I interacted with are incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. Yes, I could have bought boxes at Home Depot and saved a little bit of money, but then I would have all these extra boxes that would go in the recycling bin and never be used again. Instead, Lend a Box allowed me to organize and store everything in sturdy boxes, saving time of assembling/disassembling boxes, and feeling like I was being environmentally friendly. Delivery and pick-up was perfectly arranged, and I truly don't have any feedback about how things could be improved since everything was excellent. read more

Renting moving crates from Lend A Box was a total game changer. I just finished my move and every point of interaction with the Lend A Box team was excellent. The service itself made moving so much easier than using cardboard boxes - I was able to pack up my studio apartment in 4 days and then unpack it within 4 days of my move. I will never use cardboard again. Special shoutout to Lee, the nice human who delivered and picked up my boxes. He was generous and kind. read more

Excellent company. I highly recommend using Lend A Box for your next move. They have great customer service and made our move easier. One tip: order in advance because they're popular. We we waited too long to place our order and did not get as many boxes as we wanted. The awesome customer service team helped to secure more boxes for us than they had originally thought they could get for us. The drop off and pick up was very easy, and I was thoroughly impressed with this company. Will definitely use again! read more

An top-notch service. These moving boxes were extremely easy to handle and fit into a moving truck. We kept them all week which made the move really manageable and we didn't have pack and unpack in one day. The owner personally helped us with schedule changes and she was great about flexible pick-up and drop-off dates. I wish we'd had this service earlier. It was so great not having to waste cardboard and play around with moving tapes. Would definitely recommend to anyone moving in the area. read more

I LOVE Lend a Box! The crates are the perfect size for packing. Having everything in containers that are uniform in size really speeds up a move. Not only does it make it easier to load and unload the truck because they stack so neatly on dollies and in the truck, but packing them is easier. No messing with tape. No folding boxes. No worry about something getting crushed or broken. On the other side, there's the motivation of having to return the boxes to push the unpacking along. And the faster I'm unpacked, the more it feels like home. This move I unpacked completely in 3 1/2 days! So the disruption from the move was minimal. And talk about service...they bring the boxes to you on handy rolling dollies. They pick them up from you on the other side. No mess. No muss. No fuss. The easiest thing ever. And from the research I did, it cost me no more than buying boxes and tape would have cost. And I don't have to get rid of the cardboard! Love it. Love love love. I hope they expand nation-wide because using these for a cross country move would be AWESOME. If, you know, I was moving cross country. Which I"m not. At the moment. Ya never know.... read more

Never used a reusable box company for a move before. Booking process is super easy and delivery and pickup were prompt. I've moved several times in the last 9+ years and I would definitely recommend renting these boxes. Just the amount of time saved on making and breaking down cardboard boxes is worth the rental fee. read more

Lend A Box was the perfect solution for me when I decided to renovate my two home closets. Stephanie delivered the boxes at a time convenient for my schedule, and the boxes and labels were perfect for helping me organize my clothes and donating what I no longer use. I highly recommend Lend A Box for home improvement jobs or moves! read more

I was moving for the first time in 8 years and wanted to make the transition as simple and painless as possible. Lend-a-box was the best part of my move. They brought 25 boxes to my apartment with labels and picked them up from my new place. Their customer service is stellar - they call you a day before you confirm their arrival time, they're exceptionally punctual, and they're a pleasure to work with. The boxes were in great condition. As someone that didn't have a car to go around Arlignton to pick up free boxes outside of Whole Foods, this was a fantastic alternative. I would unequivocally recommend them and use Lend a Box again. Their team is great! read more

Can't say enough great things. Fantastic service, on time, great product. The crates take up a lot less space (stackable as you pack/unpack) and are a lot easier to manage than boxes. It's also more eco-friendly and easier to reuse if it's a local move and you're making multiple trips. All in all, couldn't be happier. read more

They were great. Came and delivered the boxes at the agreed time. The same for pick-up. Even better, a mistake was made while scheduling the pick-up time, which they graciously accomodated. I think it's probably on the pricier side, but it does seem eco-friendly. The boxes are really sturdy, and you get a good amount of them. read more

I'm updating my review for Lend A Box following another successful move! As always, the boxes were delivered on time, the driver was as pleasant as could be and my movers even remarked how happy they were to "see these boxes again." After this move I got a terrible stress-release migraine. Thankfully, I was able to get through my actual move, but took a detour to a cold, dark room during my planned unpacking time. I sent an email to Lend A Box that I wouldn't be able to make the pick-up and within a few MINUTES I received a response that they had moved my pick-up to the weekend FREE OF CHARGE. While Lend A Box is a company with outstanding service, I fully expected to have to pay an arm and a leg to extend my rental. I joked with the Lend A Box team member I was emailing with that I "would be dancing" if my head wasn't exploding because I had visions of piles of clothes and kitchenware lining my new apartment. They go above and beyond to make sure their customers are well taken care of, and have absolutely made a life-long client out of me! THANK YOU LEND A BOX :D read more

Lend a box is THE WAY to move. I heard about this company through my friend Lisa who tried it for the first time during her move. She said it was seamless and perfect and she was absolutely right. First, its the easiest thing to do. You go online, you pick your set of boxes that work for your apartment or home. You pay the fee which is so minimal and worth it not to have to collect or buy boxes, and its 100% worth it not to have packing tape! A few days before your scheduled delivery they email you with all of your details and confirm the delivery location. They are extremely communicative with delivery and pick-up. Lend a Box showed up exactly on-time. The gentlemen who came to deliver were so nice and friendly. The process to pack the bins was great. Each bin had a label and two zip ties. It couldn't have been better. The bins were perfectly clean, easy to use and stored SO MUCH STUFF. For pick-up they had the same process. They confirmed my pick-up, I gave them the details for my building and voila they were gone. I loved Lend a Box and while I hope not to move anytime soon, if I do, I am reserving my moving bins with them. Worth it, do it, they are awesome. read more

I was a repeat customer this time. Service was great as before. Drop-off and box pick up was smooth. This time my move was delayed by a month and they were really nice to let me keep the boxes for affordable fee for extra 33 days. Saved me from extra hassle of renting the boxes again and saving some money from second rental. read more
