Better Than a Box

Better Than a Box provides reusable moving totes for people who want a simpler alternative to hunting for, assembling, and recycling cardboard boxes. The company delivers sturdy plastic totes with secure lids, designed to stack neatly and make moving loads easier to handle. Customers choose a package, pack at their own pace, move and unpack, then schedule pickup; the company collects the empty totes and cleans and sanitizes them between rentals.

Standard weekly packages include 10 totes for $120, suited to a studio or one-bedroom apartment; 20 totes for $175, recommended for a two- to three-bedroom home; and 30 totes for $200, for a larger house. Better Than a Box also offers custom tote counts and timelines for office relocations, renovation staging, and storage moves. It serves Edmonton and surrounding communities, including Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, and Spruce Grove. Delivery within Edmonton is free, while a flat fee applies outside city limits. Rental extensions are available at the same daily rate when arranged before the rental period ends.
