Why NYC Storage Units Are a Scam (And What to Do Instead)
Traditional storage in NYC is broken.
You're either:
Spending $300+/mo for a locker across town
Lugging heavy bags into a dusty basement
Or playing real-life Tetris with your winter coats and AC unit
And don’t get us started on:
Surprise “admin fees”
Locked-in contracts
Wasted Saturdays with a U-Haul
You’re not alone—and you’re not crazy.
It’s not you. It’s the system.
🚲 Enter Uptotes.
We built Uptotes for one reason:
You shouldn’t need a car or a spreadsheet to store your winter boots.
Here’s how it works:
We drop off clean, stackable black totes.
You pack ‘em at your own pace.
We pick them up and store them securely.
You call them back whenever you need them—seasonal swap, move, whatever.
No sketchy basements. No leases. No lifting.
🟡 Live in LES or StuyTown?
We’re only taking a limited number of founding members right now.
You can book in under 2 minutes—no phone call, no back-and-forth.
