We can't guarantee same-day availability in every market, but we will always do our best. You'll be talking to a local person who understands your urgency, not a call center reading from a script.

Our drivers are trained specifically to protect your property during delivery and pickup.

When placing a container on new concrete, pavers, or soft ground, they use boards to distribute the weight and prevent surface damage.

They'll walk your property before placement, discuss the best positioning with you, and clean up after pickup.

We've placed containers on new concrete, fresh lawns, gravel, and decorative pavers without issue. If you have a specific concern about your surface, mention it when you call.

Ask your local team for packing tips specific to what you're storing.

For a 2-3 bedroom home, we recommend our 16-foot container.

Here's a general starting point, though the right size always depends on how much furniture you have and how efficiently you pack:

• 12-foot container. A good fit for a 1-2 bedroom apartment or home, a single-room renovation, or a garage cleanout.
• 16-foot container. Works well for a 2-3 bedroom home or a multi-room renovation project.
• 20-foot container. Our largest and most popular option. Fits a 3-4 bedroom home comfortably, including appliances, furniture, and garage contents.

Your local Go Mini's team can also talk through your specific situation and make a recommendation.

Yes, each Go Mini's container has a specific weight limit based on its size. It's essential to distribute the weight evenly throughout the container for safe transport. Please contact your local Go Mini's for more details.
