Yes. If you only need storage for a few weeks, we recommend booking a plan with a month-to-month contract. With a short-term plan, you can request all your items back within that first month provided your account is current. Same rules apply as long as you are within the areas that we serve. Please note: If you book a plan with a 12 month minimum, any remaining months on the contract will have to be paid in full before all items can be delivered.
You will be provided a link with a cloud list of all your items via email. Please contact info@gohodgepodge.com with further questions or if your link is not working properly. Only you will have access to this secure link.
Yes. For your first pick-up, whether storage, hauling or moving, a 40% non-refundable deposit is charged to your card 48 hours prior to the appointment. After the pick-up is complete, the deposit is automatically applied towards your first invoice. If you cancel or reschedule your pick-up with less than 72 hour’s notice, you forfeit the deposit.
The first month of storage is charged to the card on file shortly after your pick-up has been completed along with the labor for the appointment and protection plan, if you’ve purchased one.

HodgePodge has a 7 day proration period. If all items are delivered within 7 days of your last bill date, you will receive a prorated refund for your last month of storage. However, if the account is not closed within that time period, the full rate is charged for that month. Please note: Proration only applies once the contract minimum is met. For example, if you booked a plan with a 12-month contract, you would not be eligible for proration until the 13th month or beyond.

If it is a storage pick-up then you can save money my packaging everything yourself. However, if items are not packaged properly then HodgePodge will either have to package the items or can refuse to take items not properly packaged. With HodgePodge, we can do all the packaging for you and provide you with durable storage containers and supplies. The supplies range at about $5-$100 depending on the need.
You do not need to do a thing! We will gladly go through and haul away everything ourselves. If you would like you can definitely prepare by setting things aside or wrapping items but nothing is needed.
