Frogbox Toronto

I used Frog Box for the first time with a move last week and I couldn’t be happier!

I’ve had too many moves where I have to go out and buy and/​or scavenge boxes the week prior… Only to have to store them in my tiny Toronto apartment. The frogboxes were clean, large, very durable, and had plenty of room for packing almost anything in. They come with a dolly as well which made it easy to move 5 or 6 at once! Highly recommend, especially if you don’t have anywhere to store a large collection of boxes.

4.5÷5. Agree with other reviewers’ comments. The wardrobe boxes are da bomb! Thanks to Betty for the photo and mentioning them («da bomb» is what came to mind as I’m writing this, hopefully I don’t sound too out of touch). Only issues were email communications were a bit terse, a pretty minor thing, but it knocks it out of the 5 stars for me.

I saw a FrogBox truck and I wasn’t quite sure what they were, so I looked them up when we were moving. They are AWESOME.
Frogbox is absolutely excellent:
–fast, prompt, friendly responses to queries/​clarifications via email (VERY important!)
–friendly service from those who delivered/​picked up boxes as well as from Deb MacDonald, my contact via email
–prompt delivery/​pick up times
–wonderful product — sturdy, easy to use, truly well thought out design that has form and function! Great because easy to stack whether empty or full! Made moving SO MUCH EASIER. They stack up exactly like you see in those pics!
–donating to frogs! This, along with great product design & customer service, is why I would choose this moving-​box-​provider/​service over any others !
I have already recommended this service to my friends and we will definitely use your services in the future!
GREAT service, thank you all so much, you made moving way less painful! :)
Just one note like people have mentioned — make sure you don’t pack books fully in a box — you won’t be able to lift it, haha.

Slightly embarrassed to admit, but saw Frog Box on Dragon’s Den a few years ago. Had to move earlier this month, and kind of got sticker shock on the cost of paper moving boxes from the mover I was going to use.
Decided to give Frog a call for a quote, and it turns out it wasn’t substantially more. Kind of shocking considering these boxes won’t break if it rains on moving day, and there’s no waste or cutting them up afterwards.
They drop them off, and picked them up. Awesome! As I said, price is a little on the high side, but I would definitely use it again considering how easy and environmentally friendly these are in contrast.

I can’t say enough good things about FrogBox. For starters, the idea is brilliant: lots of eco-​friendly, cleverly designed boxes, always cleaned between uses, dropped off and picked up by the company in their eco-​vans. Then, the prices were reasonable. And the service was top-​notch: they communicated well, delivered everything right on time, and were as helpful and professional as can be. This is in spite of the fact that my phone wasn’t even on half of the time and I was doing a good job of being hard to get a hold of. Top-​notch business.

Frogbox ran a Groupon in May of last year, and while I’d never heard of them before that, I could immediately see the point. I’d already started anticipating the move into my new condo, and I’d looked into what buying new moving boxes would cost and was flummoxed by the prices (for cardboard boxes!) But given Toronto’s bedbug issues, I didn’t want to get used cardboard boxes from someone else, either.
So I bought the Groupon for Frogbox, and held onto it for the better part of a year while waiting for my condo to be built. When it came time to finally book, the process was easy — you can book online and they’ll call you to confirm, or you can call them directly — and the delivery times were very flexible, including evenings and weekends. They’re also very good about letting you know when they’re going to be there and then actually being there when they said they would — they let me know that my pickup would be sometime around 9:30 this morning, and they buzzed my door at 9:34.
I found the boxes quite convenient for packing. Because they were all the same size and shape, they stacked nicely and very stably, so it was easy to get them out of my way while I was continuing to pack. If I had a quibble with the service, I’d say it’s that the boxes are far too big to pack full of books — they’d be way too heavy to lift — and it would be nice if they added half-​sized bins for books. I ended up just packing a layer of books in the bottom of each of my boxes so that none of them got overly heavy, but I’d have preferred not to do that.
The other interesting aspect of the service is that you’re renting the boxes for a limited time. They’ll easily and happily extend that time for an additional fee (which I did once, for a week, for an additional $ 20 for my 25 boxes) but it gives you a (not too scary because it can be moved if necessary) deadline for getting unpacked. Because you have to give the boxes back, there’s no concerns about ever having that one box — you know the one, the one that you’ve moved 3 times and never unpacked and you’re not quite sure what’s in it, but whatever it is, it can’t be that important because you haven’t used it in 8 years.
I chose the 1 bedroom package, which was 25 boxes and a dolly, and it wasn’t quite enough boxes for my one bedroom apartment, but I had a one bedroom apartment with more than the average amount of storage in it, and a lot of that space was jammed and crammed full of things. Other than my clothing, which mostly went into suitcases, I could have used probably an additional 3 – 5 boxes.

Professional, easy to deal with.
They helped to make my move more organized.
What sold me was their wardrobe boxes. I didn’t have to pack any of my clothes, I just hung them up and moved them from one closet to my new closet. Wonderful.
