At most of our stores, you can shop cardboard boxes, padlocks, cardboard boxes, and packing accessories in-store. However, to streamline your shopping experience, we recommend an easy online shopping experience with Box Shop or a quick phone call to confirm the availability and stock of the specific items you are looking to purchase. Please check the reception opening hours for your store. If you’re searching for a store close to you, our self storage finder will guide you to the nearest store.

Our sustainability commitment

With climate change now at the forefront of most people’s minds, action needs to be taken. At Ready Steady Store we’re already taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, a major factor in combating climate change.

Our latest tree planting initiative will see us reduce our footprint even further. That’s because trees absorb CO2, so they’re a great way to minimise the harmful effect of CO2 emissions on the environment. And with more trees planted, the closer we’ll be to achieving a carbon-neutral Britain, along with our goal to become a carbon-neutral business.

We’re doing everything we can to help create a sustainable future for the planet, and now you can help too. All you have to do is leave us a Google Review, and for every one posted we’ll plant a tree with our partner more:trees.
