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. Uptotes is meant to be a "seasonal transition service" which means, get your winter stuff in winter (and re-pack with your summer stuff). Think of it like a 'virtual closet'.

You can if you want to, but we also offer a Pack-for-you service.. 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 and Brooklyn. Sign up or drop us a line 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 only accessible by our (tiny) team.

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 cannot accept fragile, perishable, 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 (unless you would like us to pack for you).

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.

You bet! We will start you a new plan at the new rate (and extend your storage). Two months free with annual plans, and FREE PACKING available.

Fill up a tote like you would stuff you would keep, and we'll make sure it gets to a safe home. $25 per tote (includes the tote itself), pick up, and delivery to it's next (or final) destination.

Sure! If they fit in your totes! We leave the big moves to the big companies. This keeps us light and agile, and SUPER QUICK. But you'd be astonished by how much stuff you can fit in the totes. Our clients report a considerable 'lightness' in their apartments with only three totes in storage!

We know this isn't an ideal situation, but if you need help NOW, please call 929-298-3579 for discrete, urgent move-out if things aren't working out at home.

We will come in (with you), pack your totes for you and take them where you need them (or to storage if out of our range). Our URGENT/Break-up service will arrive with you at your apartment to help you get out of there -- quickly.

No judgements, and 100% private. We will not discuss why we are there with anyone. You point, we pack.

Proof of residency is required. Restrictions apply.
