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.

    AVOID CLUTTER. My inventory is currently fragmented across two states. Despite initially confirming that items shipped from Florida would be integrated into my Seattle account, they later sequestered new items in Florida without notifying me that they would be trapped in a separate regional silo. Now that I am in New Jersey, Clutter refuses to consolidate or deliver my property, citing "service area" restrictions. The most absurd part of this ordeal was support suggesting I fly to Florida to meet a truck in a "Walmart parking lot" to retrieve my own items. Much like other customers who have reported massive additional fees and logistical deadlocks due to Clutter's refusal to consolidate separate pickup locations, I have found their system to be a series of intentional hurdles designed to keep property sequestered behind "system glitches".

    This is a truly ridiculous company. The drivers apparently came to pick up my stuff, no one called to say they arrived, the link sent via text did not work and they had the absolute audacity to send me an email saying I canceled and will be charged $200..When their drivers made 0 attempt to reach me by phone. Called customer service and was so irritated by the lack of it. I will now have to call my bank to ensure I block all attempts from Clutter to take my money. 0/10, DO NOT RECOMMEND..And all these hidden fees is crazy! Gas fee, then an hourly rate you gotta pay for them to move stuff..None of these fees were mentioned upfront.

      ⚠️ **Warning to anyone considering using Clutter by Iron Mountain for storage:** In the wake of my mother's passing, I turned to Clutter because I needed a reliable, careful service to handle her belongings during an incredibly painful time. I trusted them with nearly $30,000 of new items — purchased less than a year before storage — the items that were destroyed are valued at approximately $4,595.80. What followed was a deeply disappointing experience that I feel obligated to share.

      **What happened:**

      - My items were damaged while in Clutter's care.
      - I was never notified of the damage at any point during storage.
      - When my items were returned, they were poorly re-wrapped in a manner entirely different from how Clutter's own employees had originally packed and taken possession of them — a clear indication the damage was known internally before delivery.
      - One item, a marble kitchen table, was delivered as a tightly wrapped pile of marble.

      - Upon delivery, Clutter's own delivery team openly acknowledged that their inexperienced warehouse team, due to continual turnover, was responsible for the mishandling.

      **The claims process:**
      - Clutter's initial offer was based on their $1.00/lb default plan — a fraction of the actual value.
      - After pushing back and invoking the gross negligence clause in their own policy, they raised the offer to $700.
      - The gap between $700 and $4,595.80 in actual replacement value remains unresolved.

      - After sending a formal letter requesting escalation to senior leadership and setting a 7-day response deadline, I received no response for over 12 days.

      **What I want people to know:** I'm not sure which individual employee is responsible, and frankly it doesn't matter — Clutter as a company fell below every standard of care I expected when they were entrusted with my belongings at every step of the process. Clutter's own policy covers damage caused by gross negligence. Their delivery team's admission, the unexplained re-wrapping of my belongings, and the failure to notify me of damage while in their care all point to exactly that. Despite providing receipts, photos, and a detailed written account, I have been met with delays, form letter responses, and ultimately silence.

      If you are considering using Clutter — especially during a vulnerable time in your life — please be aware of how they handle damage claims. Protect yourself by purchasing the highest level of coverage available, documenting everything before handoff, and understanding that their default plan will not come close to covering the value of your belongings if something goes wrong. I am currently pursuing this matter through the Better Business Bureau and Los Angeles County Small Claims Court. Claim ** — still unresolved.

      Run while you can. I provided FULL details to Clutter.com via pictures to receive a quote per their "proprietary AI'. Only $600. (studio size + 297 for them to pack). THEY BILLED ME THREE TIMES THEIR QUOTE. They spent TWO days packing ONE person's half empty 1BR and billed $1785. I called in, spoke to multiple customer service reps. They have offered $100 off of the $1785 bill which is THREE TIMES the quote THEY provided me (per all of the info I provided). Had i NOT provided full info re: couch, TV, closet, bedroom, etc. that would be one thing... but that's not the case. ONE customer service rep said YES they should have sent more than a 2 person team. But they didn't. No one for the movers to call.

      When I called I was told I was lucky they booked a SECOND day to finish the job (while billing me an additional storage size + additional packing fee + additional $155 an hour). THEY ARE EITHER STUPID OR LEGIT A LEGAL SCAM. RUN AWAY UNLESS YOU LIKE WASTING TIME AND MONEY x 3. IMPORTANT NOTE: The $100 credit they offered off of my $1785 bill (I was quoted $600 for the ENTIRE JOB AFTER providing them will FULL details of my items) is insulting. They offer $100 to anyone who refers a client to them lol. RUN AWAY from this company and tell everyone.

      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.

      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.

      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.
