Book a safe, affordable and quick move on our website in minutes:

* 2 professional movers (work directly for OX BOX, not independent contractors) to carefully move your goods.

*Fully enclosed truck (big enough for the contents of a 1-bedroom flat in a single trip!) to protect goods from weather and safe from 'falling off the truck'.

*Cancel anytime up to 1 hour before the move.

But what if there’s not enough space on the truck? Simply book another trip on the spot and we’ll keep working until your move is complete! You can also book multiple trips in advance if you like (and be refunded for any trips you don’t use). Need to change your date or address? It’s easy to log on and make any changes anytime before your move.

Simple, affordable, efficient solution from Cape Town’s expert movers. If moving has been a pain for you in the past, instead of a joyous, easy experience, now's the time to OX BOX it.

The load box interior is:

H - 1,865m x W - 1,95m x L - 2,95m

This means that your items should be no taller than 1.85m.

Some items longer than 2.95m might fit if it can hang out the back.

The volume of the load box is about 10m3. For reference, this is approximately the contents of a 1-bedroom flat.

An example of a 10m3 list is:

queen bed, bedside table x2, desk, office chair, 3-seater couch, 2-seater couch, coffee table, side table, fridge, washing machine, boxes x15.

Alternatively, there are many cool tools you can use to calculate the size of your items, you can find them here. 

If your volume will be more than this, you can specify how many trips you need when creating a booking. 

Knowing accurately what your volume will be can be tricky. Not to worry! If on the day you discover that not everything will fit in one trip, you can immediately book another trip and we will stay with you to complete the move.

Our fully enclosed 1-ton trucks can carry a load of up to 10m3 per trip (height 1.84m x length 2.93m x width 1.93m).

Also see 'Will my items fit in the truck?'

If you discover on the day that you need an extra trip, you can book it immediately and we will keep working until the move is complete (or the end of the work day).

If you booked extra trips and on the day those extra trips weren't required, you will be refunded for the trips not done. Eg, if you originally booked 3 trips and on the day we completed your move in 2 trips, you will be refunded for the 1 trip we didn't do.

Our teams are exhaustively trained on the importance of punctuality. If they are running late they will contact you one hour in advance to let you know the updated time.

Addresses
Enter your full address (eg, 1 Main Road, Newlands) for both pick up location and delivery location*. In the field provided below the address line, enter the complex name and unit number if applicable and make any notes that will be helpful for the movers on the day. If you have multiple stops, simply click the '+extra stop' button under the address fields. Make sure the order of stops is correct. You can click and hold the location pin next to each address and drag the addresses to make sure they're in the correct route order for your move. You can remove any address by clicking the orange box with white 'x' below the address field. You will need at least two addresses, a pick up location and delivery location.

*We don't service all areas. For areas we don't service you'll receive a pop up notification when you try to enter the address in the address field.

Load size
The load box of the truck is 2.93m long x 1.93m wide x 1.84 m high. This is a volume of about 10m3. Typically, the contents of a 1-bedroom flat could be transported in one trip (dependent on how much stuff you have). Some unusually large items won't fit- an abnormally tall fridge, for example. A king-size mattress would also not fit.

(Optional) Do you need more than 1 trip?

If the time you'd like is not displayed, it means that we are either unavailable at that time or we won't be able to complete your move within our operating hours.

By clicking on different dates and times, different prices will display and in this way you can find a price that suits you if you have date/time flexibility.
