Zippy Shell

Zippy Shell is a leading provider of portable container moving and storage services. Founded in 2007 in Australia, it expanded to the United States in 2010 and now includes 66 independently-owned franchises across 32 states.

The company offers a variety of services, including temperature-controlled portable storage facilities, long- and short-term self-storage options, drop-off and pick-up container delivery, and connections to third-party full-service movers. For those seeking storage solutions only, Zippy Shell offers portable storage, local moving, and long-distance moving services.

Zippy Shell has only one container size, which is bigger than most other companies and made of steel construction, leading many to believe it would be more expensive. However, Zippy Shell's container is cheaper than smaller ones made of cheaper materials offered by other companies. The company's pricing is the best in the industry, saving customers an average of $390 compared to other companies for homes of all sizes other than a one-bedroom apartment, which costs $250 more than competitors.

Despite its affordable pricing and flexible storage options, Zippy Shell has some drawbacks. While the company provides insurance options, its customer reviews are poor, and its Better Business Bureau rating is underwhelming. Additionally, Zippy Shell's availability is limited to 32 states in the United States, making it challenging for customers outside of these areas to access its services.
