Door To Door Storage is a U.S. self-storage company to offer a 'deliverable storage unit', which customers load at their home or business, and Door To Door has shipped to their storage facilities. Within a year of Door To Door offering this new service, long-time self-storage leaders Shurgard Storage Centers and Public Storage announced plans to add similar services at their locations. Shurgard has since largely withdrawn from the market, citing low margins and the drop-off service cannibalizing their core business. Public discontinued the service in smaller markets, citing similar difficulties to make it profitable given the smaller pool of potential customers.

Door To Door Storage was founded in Kent, Washington in May 1996. It was started by Tim Riley, a first-time entrepreneur who had previously worked for Shurgard Storage Centers. The company, whose tag line is "You pack it up. We pick it up!", now has locations in metropolitan areas all across the U.S., from Washington to Florida and California to New Hampshire.

Door To Door ranked #475 in the 2003 Inc. 500 rankings of the fastest growing private companies in the nation, with 339% growth (1998-2002).

The Container
The containers measure 5’ x 8‘ on the ground and are 7’ tall (Inside dimensions are 58” x 92” x 77”). Each will typically accommodate one to one-and-one-half rooms of household goods. The containers sit about 4 inches off the ground. The containers are made of pressure treated 3/4" plywood. Each container is also covered with a "weather-resistant cover". The containers are 4" from the ground. Door To Door allows customers from 1-7 days to load and unload their container(s).

City to City
They can deliver the container to various hubs around the country. Delivery is available to your door unless the new location is in what the company calls a "black zone".
