About Clutter

Clutter storage solutions provide month-to-month storage for your belongings. Clutter services include packing materials, packing help, pick up and delivery. What sets Clutter apart from other storage companies is their extensive photo inventory process. With this system, Clutter and their customers have both a visual inventory and itemized list of stored items. Since Clutter’s storage facilities are secured and closed to the public, you can’t visit your items in storage; however, you can have them delivered back to you at any time.

Clutter storage facilities are closed to the public and monitored with 24/7 motion-sensor cameras. The Clutter storage company provides their Limited Security Warranty Policy to all customers, and further protection for items can be purchased for a fee.

How does Clutter work?

As a full-service storage company, Clutter picks-up, stores then delivers items when needed. First-time pickups can be scheduled online or over the phone with a Clutter customer service representative. On the scheduled pickup day, a team of Clutter moving specialists arrives at your location.

Before packing, Clutter collects a digital photographic inventory of your belongings and assigns a unique barcode to each item. Then, Clutter transports the inventory to one of their secured storage facilities.

If you want to retrieve an item in the future, all you need to do is access your Clutter account and select which item you need. Clutter will then deliver the item back to you.

Clutter storage prices

Clutter prices depend significantly upon how many items need to be stored. To get a free quote for the cost of Clutter storage, fill out a brief questionnaire and provide your ZIP code, the size of storage unit you need, how you plan to move your belongings into storage, how long you plan to use the storage unit, and the date you need the storage unit. Review a variety of pickup time options, and if the Clutter price is acceptable, submit your email address.

Please note that Clutter charges a deposit for the first pickup. The first month of storage is charged after pickup, and then billing is automatic. If you ever need to update your billing information, you can easily log in to your Clutter account and update your default for automatic payments.

    Natavica and Mecca are topnotch. They were polite, efficient and respectful of our furnishings, which were heavy and complicated to wrap and remove. They carefully addressed each item and made sure to handle everything with care. They’re as impressive as they are capable. Five stars doesn’t seem like a high enough rating! Natavica and Mecca are outstanding!

      Mecca, Everett, and Nataviea were great! They got all my stuff packed in under an hour, and they were super helpful and friendly if I had questions. They seem like very hard workers and I appreciated that they got it done quickly to minimize unexpected charges for me. I would definitely move with them again in the future!

      Movers were fantastic: fast, efficient, and careful with items as they wrap everything up! They took pictures of everything and scanned into my portal for inventory. It’s easy to see the whole process. The website is a little confusing to use and to understand the costs. The lead mover, Nataviae, explained to me better when she arrived on site.

      Had an appointment with the Clutter crew — Brian D, Everett, and Anthony — And I couldn’t be more impressed! They showed up right on time, handled everything with great care, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Their customer service was top-notch, and they were both professional and efficient from start to finish. I highly recommend this team if you’re looking for a reliable and hassle-free moving/storage experience. Thanks again to Brian, Everett, and Anthony for doing such an outstanding job!

      Horrible, heartbreaking experience. We have been trying to get access to our dead mother's storage unit for 5 months now, have sent them paperwork, countless emails and phone calls. They keep "needing more time to look into it" and meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking, and they keep asking us to pay the bill. Close to $2000 now as they prolong this process. We have given them a small estate affidavit, as required by California Court and they still have not responded.

      Horrible. Don’t make the mistake of trusting this company. Go to your local storage company, this is a scam. They don’t answer the phone, they take long to respond to your questions online, just an overall bad experience with Clutter.

      We had an emergency flood damage move to do. I contacted Clutter on Friday and booked on Saturday a move to storage for Monday morning. Everything was set up. We were promised loading on Monday morning. I confirmed on Sunday afternoon and was assured that they would arrive at 9 am on Monday morning. At 7:30 am on Monday morning, they cancelled. Either the person booking my move overpromised and could not deliver, or there was a terrible lack of communication between office and staff, or someone slept in, or....fill in the blanks.

      All Clutter did was use up all of my available time to prepare and let me down into a big hole. As a result, I had other contractors standing around for hours while I arranged a couple of pods to be dropped on the driveway. Then the other contractors did the job Clutter was supposed to do before they could begin what they were supposed to do. TOTAL COST FOR THE DAY: $3000 to the other company for doing Clutter's work. We had no choice. Now we are paying double what we were supposed to pay Clutter for monthly storage because we have needed to use two pods and had no time to negotiate price. There is no need to call these people names or make other disparaging comments, but those are the fact. THEY SERIOUSLY LET US DOWN and it was stressful and expensive.

      I used Clutter to store outdoor furniture for a five year period. When I tried to schedule the return of my items and sent Clutter a certificate of insurance in advance of having my items returned, Clutter failed to complete the certificate. I called the company dozens of times telling them that if the COI was not completed, they would not be able to deliver my furniture. When the truck arrived with my items, it had to return to the items. I was charged $218 by Clutter for the "delivery."

      I finally got the completed COI and rescheduled the delivery. The truck arrived today and a large marble outdoor coffee table ($2,200 cost) was smashed into two pieces. Clutter also lost another folding outdoor table ($220) and damaged an expensive furniture cover for a sofa ($500). Based on their basic coverage, I expect to get $165 for the items, which will cost me close to $3,000 to replace. Clutter has been a nightmare, from terrible customer service to a complete lack of care for our items. Stay far far away and find a true moving/storage company.

      Reviewed Dec. 19, 2025

      We relied on Clutter for storage services and expected basic care and accountability. Instead, when our items were returned, one large box was missing entirely and another item was damaged. The combined value of what was lost/damaged is around $1,300. When we filed a claim, Clutter offered just $80 in compensation. Their response was that anything more isn’t possible because the items were “not insured.” This explanation is unacceptable. Insurance is meant for unpredictable events—not for failures in inventory control and handling. Losing a customer’s belongings is not an “unforeseen circumstance”; it reflects a breakdown in operations and responsibility.

      If Clutter’s policy is that customers must absorb major losses when the company itself loses or damages property, that’s a serious red flag. It signals a lack of accountability, inadequate safeguards, and a claims process that protects the company rather than the customer. We trusted Clutter to store and return our possessions. Instead, we were left with a significant financial loss and no meaningful recourse. A $1,300 loss with an $80 payout is indefensible, and customers deserve better transparency and protection. We’re sharing this experience so others understand what may happen if something goes wrong using Clutter.
