How to Ship Your Items
Sending items to Vrt Storage is as easy as shipping a package. Here's how.
Pack Your Items
Box up your belongings using our packing tips below. Label each box with a brief description of contents.
Ship or Schedule Pickup
Ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx to our company address. We also offer pre-paid shipping labels for your convenience.
Our Team Catalogs Everything
When your items arrive, our employees photograph each piece, log it in your online inventory, and store it in our climate-controlled facility.
Packing Tips for Shipping
Pack smart to keep your items safe during transit and make cataloging easy.
Use sturdy, new boxes when possible
New corrugated boxes provide the best protection during transit. Avoid reusing damaged or worn boxes.
Wrap fragile items individually
Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or foam for each fragile item. Fill empty spaces in the box so nothing shifts.
Label every box clearly
Write a brief description of contents on the outside of each box. This helps us catalog your items accurately.
Seal boxes securely with packing tape
Use strong packing tape on all seams. Avoid duct tape or masking tape — they don't hold well during shipping.
Don't over-pack boxes
Keep each box under 50 lbs when possible. Overly heavy boxes are harder to handle and more likely to break during transit.
Include a packing list inside
Place a list of contents inside each box. If the outside label is damaged, we can still identify what's inside.
Remove batteries from electronics
Loose batteries can leak or cause damage. Remove them and pack separately in a labeled bag.
Use original packaging when available
If you still have the original box for electronics or fragile items, use it. Manufacturer packaging is designed for safe shipping.
