It’s an age-old conundrum: too much stuff and too little space, especially in the Park Cities. It’s not our fault really, it’s just human nature. We buy stuff and then run out of places to put the stuff we buy. Case in point: the cluttered garage. Raise your hand if you have a two-car garage that only fits one car because of all the bikes, lawn equipment, paint cans, outdoor decorations, pool toys, ski gear, camping equipment and patio furniture.
If that describes your garage – or media room, closet, guest bedroom, or even laundry room – you’re not alone. Sometimes moving from one house to another makes you realize you have more stuff than you need and you don’t want to move it all. Maybe you find yourself an “empty nester” and decide to downsize. You don’t want to throw away a life’s worth of memories, but if it’s a smaller house or apartment, you can’t bring it all with you.
Whatever the reason for needing a place to put your stuff, a new concept in storage and delivery is here to save the day: Callbox Storage. The team at Callbox Storage will come to your home, apartment, office, or even another storage facility, to pick up your items, inventory, store and bring it all – or just one box – back whenever you need it.
Callbox Storage co-founders Kyle Bainter and Dan Slaven came up with the idea of Callbox a little over a year ago. “I was getting ready for the birth of my first baby and trying to get her nursery ready,” says Kyle. “I had my garage full of furniture and items that needed to be put in storage. I realized I need to find storage, rent a truck and ask family and friends to help me move it. None of that did I really want to do. That’s when I realized, there must be a better and easier way.”
Callbox Storage takes the hassle of moving and storing items out of your hands. The Callbox team will pick up your boxes (they deliver boxes for free), photo inventory your items so you know what you have, take it to their storage facility, and store it for you. When you decide it’s time to get some of your stuff back —like the Christmas decorations in November — they’ll bring the boxes to you. It’s sort of like having your own elves, except they don’t hang lights or decorate the tree (boo!).
Callbox Storage covers all of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area. Competitively priced, customers can rent space for as little as $18 a month. Not sure how much space you need? They will help you determine the size storage space for your items. “Sometimes people think they need a large storage space,” says Kyle. “But we come in and show them they don’t need as much as they think they did and that saves them money.”
The photo inventory system makes it easy to see what you have. Need your camping gear? They’ll bring just that box back to your home. Spring has sprung and it’s time for the patio furniture? Just one click on their website or a quick phone call and it’s yours. Everyone gets one delivery per month for free.
Kyle and Dan say their level of customer service, convenience and efficiency is what makes them different. “There really is no other type of service out there that does what we do. We truly wanted to make storage an easier process for people. Who wants to spend a Saturday renting a truck and loading and unloading boxes at a storage facility?” says Dan. “We do the heavy lifting for you…no pun intended.”
