Yes! Bags and bins are both free for you to use—but we’ll charge $25 for each bin that you keep post-storage.
Yes! You can keep your bags for free and reuse them as you please. They’re great for laundry or grocery shopping—plus, they’re collapsible so you can store them away without taking up space.
SpaceMakers will wait 15 minutes for you transfer your belongings from bins to bags. The process doesn’t tend to take longer than this.
It’s extremely important that you don’t overpack, as bags are designed to fit into bins of the same size. This means no misshapen bags stuffed with oddly shaped items like guitars or blow-up pool toys.
If your bag doesn’t fit into a bin, you’ll be responsible for reorganizing your belongings into existing/additional bags. To avoid prolonging the pickup appointment, it’s important that you follow our packing guidelines and avoid overpacking.
After you’ve scheduled a pickup appointment, we’ll send you as many bags and bins as you need. If you need more or if we’re unable to get them to you before your appointment, SpaceMakers will bring bags and bins to your appointment.
Yes! SpaceMakers will take photos of your bins so you can easily access your inventory via the app.
A MakeSpace bin is three cubic feet, and its dimensions are 27” length x 17” width x 12.5” height.
A single bin can hold 12 pairs of shoes, or 30 shirts and 10 sweaters.
Still not sure what fits inside a bin? Call 800-920-9440 or email support@makespace.com and one of our Customer Support agents will assist you.
If you’d like to store heavier items such as books, please spread them across several bins to avoid exceeding 40lbs.
Distribute the weight across several bins. Spread heavier items, such as books, across several bins to ensure the bins won't be under too much stress (and to keep you from being charged an overweight fee).
Group and then pack items together that you'll likely want back at the same time. For example, if you have a dress that you love to wear with a specific pair of heels, pack them together. Put your rain boots with your umbrella. Pack all your Thanksgiving serving pieces together.
Roll, don't fold, items like T-shirts or towels to maximize space and reduce wrinkles. Stuff socks and other small items into your shoes, sneakers, and boots to maximize bin or box space and help these items keep their shape.
MakeSpace If you’re in NYC, Washington, D.C., Chicago or Los Angeles, then yes of course! We can store almost anything - furniture, bicycles, golf clubs, luggage, etc. As long as it doesn't violate our storage rules we will take it.
