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.

    With a sudden need for medical care, we had little time for research or cobbling together services for storage moving and packing. Clutter came in with the all in one package that fit perfect. The online interface was so seamless, made me a bit nervous that it couldn’t be this easy. After making a preliminary reservation with clutter, I had some questions that I sent via chat. I usually find chat to be an annoying interface with people that don’t actually understand the business model or take too long to reply. Clusters, chat service was knowledgeable could answer all my questions and even gave me a full transcript of what we said for my own reference later!

    On the day of the move, Anthony G and Arnold R continued to exhibit the upmost professionalism they were careful and courteous. I felt very comfortable having them in our home and with their care over our precious belongings. The fragile items that they packed will be very secure . The cost were fairly advertised, although somehow I was still caught by surprise with the cost to move the things back to my house and a few months, but that was on me. I have nothing but great things to say about the company, and the people I dealt with, perfect for my needs to move quickly, confidently, and without a headache.

    From the moment Eduardo and Drevion showed up at my place, I knew I was in good hands. They were really professional and put me at ease right away with their assessment of my items. Then James and Arnold showed up to support and the whole team was so helpful, attentive, detail-oriented and made sure everything was handled with care. Throughout the entire move, they were careful with fragile items and went above and beyond to answer all my questions patiently and professionally. They stayed focused the whole time, wrapped up all my boxes perfectly, and packed what wasn’t already packed. I’m so happy with how smooth the move went.

    They were also really friendly and kind, which made the whole process way less stressful. They took their time to make sure everything was done right without ever seeming rushed. This has become my favorite mover/storage experience by far! I know my stuff is now safely stored, and I don’t have to worry. Thanks to this team at Clutter Storage, I have one less thing to worry about for my move!

      TL;DR: This is my 2nd summer in a row with Clutter, and they could not be more perfect and helpful. THANK YOU CLUTTER. Last year was already good: the 4+ month deal with free, efficient pickup and delivery, free boxes, free labor to carry all your items, carefully wrapping/packing everything for you (protectors for furniture corners?!) - it seriously cannot be beat by any other storage company in the market right now. But then, oh my God, this year they BOSSED UP.

      I was actively dealing with a serious medical emergency during our appointment, but Samuel, Alex, and Teresa were so friendly, understanding, and patient... Later that day, I also called Clutter customer service because I realized I forgot an entire mattress in the chaos, and they were able to come back around for me! So it wasn't just the movers, but Clutter's customer service in the backend was also super accommodating and helpful. They definitely did not have to come back for me. I could've cried and given them all hugs at that point... College kids in the Bay, you can definitely depend on Clutter. Thank you Samuel, Alex, and Teresa again, if you guys can see this.

      I recently had the pleasure of working with Eduardo and Jose for my move, and I can't praise them enough. From start to finish, their service was impeccable. They arrived on time and were incredibly professional, handling all my belongings with the utmost care. Their attention to detail was evident as they meticulously packed and wrapped my fragile items, ensuring nothing was damaged during transit.

      What truly stood out was their efficiency and teamwork. Eduardo and Jose worked seamlessly together, making the moving process swift and stress-free. They were also very courteous and responsive to any requests or questions I had, which made me feel valued as a customer. Additionally, their pricing was fair and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. Moving can be a daunting task, but Eduardo and Jose made it a smooth and pleasant experience. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and skilled movers. If you're looking for a stress-free move, Eduardo and Jose are the team to trust. Five stars all the way!

      I have had my items stored with Clutter for over a year and have felt that my items have been safe this entire time. And while I was unemployed y'all were helpful with the ability to pay some of the dues versus full dues. I would like to learn if there's a discount for storing my items for a yearly rate instead of my original selection of monthly rate.
