Zippy Shell was great to work with! We chose them because they were very personable and (sort of) local. The container was spotless and very nice when we received it and we had no issues with delivery or pick up of the container. I would definitely recommend them and use them again!

They make it pretty simple and aren't difficult if something goes a little awry. For example we put our lock on the wrong door, they resolved no issue/fee, and we had mover delays, they adjusted. Arnetia the Operations Manager was extremely responsive, helpful, and always professional. If I ever need storage pods again, I'd use ZippyShells.

We booked a Zippy Shell container to move our stuff. Very flexible regarding day to deliver the Zippy Shell container and picking it up full. The whole process was seamless. Customer Service made booking the Zippy Shell easy. The Zippy Shell container worked out very well. They were delivered to my home on time. We would definitely do it again.

The best experience with my move! I called the office and Arnetia was on it! I had a pod delivered the same day, and the delivery was seamless. I scheduled the pod to be moved and that was just as fast and efficient. I was nervous that during the pod transfer that my items would be a bit thrown around, but not one box moved or shifted!! I highly recommend Zippy shell for your pod storage needs.

After my folks passed away we stored family heirloom furniture, and other sentimental value stuff, and a gazillion photos, with Zippy Shell. Pod delivered to door, so convenient. Arranging to access shell was easy on sunny days. Low cost return delivery labor was great. We were able to take time to make decisions instead of regretting tossing it all.

During a very difficult move with challenging logistics, Zippy Shell helped to make the experience a bit easier. From having to book last minute, to the driver successfully navigating the container into a very tricky parking situation, to keeping our belongings safe and secure, everything was seamless and helped take some stress off my shoulders. I would absolutely use Zippy Shell again!

Zippy Shell is a world class storage and moving facility. They took excellent care of my belongings for over 3 years. Everything stayed in great condition and they were so courteous with helping to arrange any deliveries of my items. They are also very competitively priced. The associates are friendly and professional. I especially appreciate Arnetia Curtis for her outstanding customer service and support of my needs. The highest of recommendations goes to Zippy! Thanks for everything!

We had an excellent experience with ZippyShell. The storage pod was delivered quickly and without hassle. We marked where we wanted it, and it was delivered exactly there within a day or two of our order, without us having to be around to supervise. Then when finished using it, they picked it up, also without us having to be around. Super convenient! There was plenty of space in the storage pod for all the materials for our whole kitchen renovation. The storage pod was also very sturdy and strong, and I had no safety or security concerns about keeping the kitchen materials inside.

Everyone from Zippy Shell was friendly, helpful, professional, courteous and responsive. It was easy to schedule, they showed up promptly, they carefully placed the storage pod on our property, they carefully moved our furniture out to pod and back in again a month later, and they carefully removed the pod. Outstanding service. The pod was extremely clean, as were the furniture pads that they used. Outstanding company.

The team at Zippy Shell arrived timely to collect my items, safely held them for several months in a climate controlled facility, and delivered them when and where I needed them. Arnetia was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Thanks for everything!

We used Zippy to store our basement furniture while it was getting finished. It was super convenient. They dropped off the container right in the driveway and we had a few days to fill it up ourselves. 2 months later, I called them up and within just a few days, the container was back. I would definitely recommend them. They are also significantly cheaper than Pods.

The pods came on time and they helped us figure out the best location for them. Very easy to work with and fun to watch the driver use his remote control device to "drive" the pod off his truck. Thank you! Jan DeBoissiere Christ Episcopal Church Buildings and Grounds Co-Chair

We were doing some home renovations and needed to remove furnishings from the rooms so that carpenters had space to work. A Zippy Shell was the perfect answer. There was PLENTY of space inside to store ALL the furnishings. The Shell kept them safe and dry on our driveway through wet wintry weather. The door tightly sealed the cube. The shell was delivered to us sparkling clean in the MOST innovative (and entertaining) way - literally driving itself (by remote control) up a long driveway. Without needing a large truck to pull it, the shell could be much more easily maneuvered into just the most convenient spot. Arnetia Curtis provided punctual, professional and really pleasant oversight throughout the whole adventure.

I hired Zippy Shell Northern Virginia to move my belongings from downtown DC to my new home, and store them for a few months in between. I could not be happier with my experience. Zippy Shell was easy to work with and responsive -- always available by phone and with prompt email replies, and the moving team contacted me en route to my location as I was told they would. Also, I would recommend them for anyone moving out of downtown -- their containers can fit in a traditional parking lane. Also, having their own moving team makes it easier than working with a storage company where you have to coordinate with your own movers. I would certainly use their services again.

I'll be honest the past couple of days have been super stressful managing our home life with two kids, work, and moving. We are so THANKFUL for the zippy shell team for saving our move from being a disaster. Arnetia who helped with our reservation was so helpful and friendly. She was able to accommodate a change to our container delivery last minute. Sebastian was an expert at maneuvering the container. Angel and Phillip who came to help us wrap furniture and load the container were so friendly and hard working. They took great care of us, wrapping items with care and filling the pod to the MAX. No space was sparred in the container. It's been a wonderful experience working with you all. THANK YOU!

We received delivery of the storage container timely for both loading and unloading and the price was reasonable compared to other storage options. Our point of contact, Arnetia was very responsive during coordination of the initial delivery and the final return of the container.

We recently had our basement finished. We had a ton of stuff stored in the unfinished basement and needed to clear it out for the 2 month job. I did not want to have to take it all to a storage facility and opted to have a Storage bin delivered to my home. After speaking with several different companies and looking through reviews, I decided to give Zippy Shell a try. they were easy to work with and came when they said they would deliver the box. After 1 week, I realized I was going to need a second shell. I called Zippy Shell, Arnetia took care of me and within days, I had a second shell. The guys who delivered them and picked them up were professional, and friendly and took care and were patient while delivering and picking up the shells. I absolutely would recommend Zippy Shell (and have already) to others.

OUTSTANDING COMPANY. I tried to use the other guys and got jerked around with delivery dates. Called Zippy Shell, got what I wanted and when I needed it. They delivered a clean storage container and I couldn't be any happier. Great service from the moment I spoke to the representative to delivery. They kept me informed every step of the way. Oh, did I mention they also provide storage, they stored my container for several months until we needed it delivered to our new home in Selby-On-The Bay. THANK YOU ZIPPY SHELL.

The team at ZippyShell was great to work with. They were very responsive via email and phone to all of the questions I had about their service, process, rates, etc. It was also easy to reschedule delivery of my shells when we ran into a hiccup with the closing date/time. The teams that showed up for both loading and unloading were punctual, friendly, respectful and they seriously hustled both days to minimize the time they were there and maximize the time I had do deal with packing and unpacking. Thanks for being easy to work with during a very stressful time in my life!
