We're just getting started, but the totes speak for themselves.
"Moving always stressed me out but using Crate Beginnings was a game-changer. No tape, no boxes falling apart, and they picked everything up from the new house. 10/10."
"We moved a 3-bedroom house with the 40-tote package. The dollies were clutch. Everything arrived spotlessly clean and way sturdier than cardboard boxes. Would 100% use again."
"The totes came sanitized and clean — something I really appreciated with little kids. Scheduling was simple and drop-off was perfectly timed. This is how moving should work."
We're Phil and Kristy Mailloux, and we started Crate Beginnings right here in Greater Lafayette because we were tired of the same moving-day chaos everyone deals with — scrambling for free boxes behind grocery stores, taping the bottoms three times hoping they'd hold, and watching it all collapse on the stairs anyway.
We knew there had to be a better way, so we built one: durable, clean totes that come to your door, survive your move, and go back to us to be sanitized for the next family.
No more cardboard. No more waste. Just a better start to whatever comes next — from our family to yours.
