austin moving & storage

There are moving companies, and there are storage companies. The advantage of CEND is that we offer both. Not only are you free to use our storage or moving services a-la-carte, but you have the freedom to choose only the services you need for both. Once we deliver your container, you’re free to do it yourself or opt in for assistance with packing, loading, and unloading. We ship locally or to most major cities in the US, and let you store as much (or as little) as you need with us at any point before, during, or after your move.

It can be challenging to visualize how much space you’ll need to store your belongings — but our moving calculator can help you start the process. While it varies by individual need and amount, our three sizes of containers are meant for a studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom home or apartment. The following descriptions can give you a better idea of what you can expect to store in a CEND container:

8-foot containers offer enough storage for a studio or a large room — roughly 4,000 pounds. Packed tightly, an 8-foot container can store a bed / mattress, a loveseat, four to eight small to medium-size chairs, a carpet, several mid-size appliances, and up to 25 small boxes. This is a popular option for single-room remodels, or as extra space to have in addition to a larger size container.

16-foot containers can store belongings up to 8,000 pounds and are roughly the length and width of a large SUV. These big containers are a good option for long-distance moves or clearing out some garage space. A 16-foot container can hold up to three beds, three couches, several tables and armchairs, 15 chairs, one or two large appliances, and around 30 small and 15 large boxes.

We’ll let you self-store for as long as you need, or keep your storage container with us before, during, or after your move. If you want to extend your storage time or have something delivered from our storage facility, just let us know. Whether you’re moving or storing, CEND is there to help you find a convenient, flexible solution that works within your budget. 

CEND uses a marketplace model so our customers can be sure they’re getting a better value and lower price than with other Austin storage companies. Our price match guarantee means that even if you find a lower price somewhere else, we’ll match it. We offer a free quote tool to give you an instant idea of how much you’d pay for storage with CEND depending on your individual needs.

The beauty of storing with CEND is that we handle the heavy lifting — you won’t ever have to rent a moving truck or make storage runs. Once we drop off your container, you’re free to keep it for as long as you need or have us move it to one of our storage facilities. If you need anything from our facility, just get in touch. We’ll coordinate with you and schedule a time to drop it off.
