Uptotes is a simple storage service built for New Yorkers. We give you durable, sealable bags, pick them up from your door, store them nearby, and bring them back whenever you want.

Each bag holds about: A full winter wardrobe (coats, boots, sweaters) Bedding (comforter, pillows, sheets) 3–4 pairs of shoes + clothes A carry-on suitcase worth of stuff You can use Uptotes for off-season items, party supplies, holiday decor, gear, or anything else you don’t need every day. Non-perishable stuff. Nothing sharp, and definitely no firearms. It won't move around too much, but the bags are soft-sided.

Each bag is 27.6" x 13.8" x 16.5" — about the size of a large laundry basket or checked luggage suitcase.

Max bag weight is 50lbs.

Yes. Each bag is sealed (by you) with a tamper-evident tag that only you control. Everything is stored in a secure, local facility with limited access.

Our storage facility is on the lower east side of Manhattan. Unfortunately, we cannot invite you into our storage for liability reasons, but if you have an urgent need, just pick up the phone and give us a call and we'll do what we can do to get your stuff back ASAP.

Just tap a link or reply to your confirmation text. We'll schedule a return—usually within 1–2 business days. Or sooner if there's an emergency. Just call, and we'll work it out.

As long as you want. Most people use Uptotes to rotate seasonal items, free up their closet, or hold things between moves.

Yes—but we make it super easy. We provide the bags, instructions, and even tamper-evident seals so you stay in control. Your privacy is extremely important to us.

We’re starting in the Lower East Side, East Village & Stuytown/Peter Cooper Village, then expanding to the rest of downtown Manhattan. Sign up to get notified when we reach your area.

Yes. All stored items are covered by Uptote’s general liability and property coverage, at no additional cost to you. This insurance is limited so please do not store anything priceless or irreplaceable.

We take storage seriously. Every tote is: Sealed with a tamper-evident security tag Scanned and tracked at pickup, storage, and delivery Stored in a secure, climate-stable facility. If a tote is lost or damaged while in our care, we will file a claim with our insurance subject to their evaluation. For higher-value items, we recommend purchasing additional personal property insurance.

We’re working on offering optional, premium insurance coverage. For now, many renters and homeowners insurance policies will cover items stored offsite—just list Uptote as the storage provider.

We recommend not storing fragile, perishable, or highly valuable items (e.g., jewelry, electronics, cash). Uptotes is best for seasonal clothing, books, gear, and general household items. But we won't know, because we'll never look.

Every Uptote bag is sealed by you with a unique, tamper-evident tag. Only you can authorize it to be opened. Our staff never accesses bag contents.

Bikes whenever possible. This helps us with speedy delivery, on-demand service, and a small ecological footprint.

Uptotes is founded by Jason Littrell, a seasoned entrepreneur, (P.S. 40) dad, cyclist, and ai/automation expert based in NYC. I've built brands, bars, and businesses that run on efficiency, trust, and community connection.

Why Uptotes?

After living in small NYC apartments and hauling storage bins to distant lockers, I realized there had to be a better, more human solution. Uptotes was born out of a simple idea: What if storage felt like a service—not a chore?

Is he running this solo?

For now, yes. Jason personally manages pickups, storage, and service to ensure every customer experience is tight, secure, and seamless. I'm building the system to scale—but starting by earning trust one tote at a time.
