What our customers say
Neighbors who’ve already moved with us
From delivery to pick up and everything in between, they made moving a breeze and much more efficient!
They were very accommodating with my schedule. Would highly recommend!
I have recommended this company to everyone I know that’s moving. It takes a huge load of stress off of you. The totes are huge, durable, stack well and it keeps everything much more organized. 5 stars for sure!

The family behind the totes
Hi — I’m Ryan
I’m the guy behind Crate & Key, providing reusable moving crates that alleviate the chaos of moving day. No more scrounging for cardboard boxes that collapse mid-move, and nothing extra headed to the landfill afterward.
I started Crate & Key because I care about making my neighbors’ lives a little easier during one of the most stressful weeks they’ll have all year.
