Once upon a time
Many years ago, inexpensive DIY moving and rental trucks were the standard way of residential moving. In contrast, expensive commercial moving companies were considered a luxury. Then, in 2004, the first MI-BOX Business model and mobile storage container were born.
It was the first business model that gave movers the best of both DIY and commercial moving worlds at an affordable price. MI-BOX would deliver and pick up a safe and secure portable container just steps from the front door. Movers could work at their own pace and
could keep the unit as long as they wanted.
Furthermore, an ample and secure storage facility would provide even more options for people with unique and not so unique life situations like moving overseas for work or for fun, needing extra space for seasonal items, temporarily moving and storing dorm rooms etc.
Needless to say, popularity snowballed, as people could avoid driving massive rental trucks AND tired movers potentially damaging their items without breaking the bank. What?!
Your Friendly Neighbourhood MI-BOX Man, Sean
Sean is the owner of Calgary, MI-BOX. He’s a curious, creative and problem-solving type of guy. The standard way of moving hadn’t changed in about a century, and he knew there had to be a better way until he came across MI-BOX in 2013.
His problem-solving attribute allowed him to realize that each person’s moving circumstance is entirely unique and requires a different solution. Moving may seem pretty black and white, but consider the following:
- Single parents with time constraints
- Limited mobility people that need more time to organize a move
- Busy families that have strict schedules
- Individuals that do not drive but prefer DIY
- People with limited budgets
Those are just a few circumstances that don’t fit traditional moving trucks or expensive moving companies. Sean, the problem solver he is, had found the answer to so many issues going unnoticed or ignored.
That year, MI-BOX Calgary and your friendly neighbourhood MI-BOX man came into existence. Yay!
What MI-BOX Stands for
Sean is a family man, so naturally, MI-BOX Calgary became locally owned and operated by him and his lovely family. Even the team hired quickly became family.
There were a few core fundamental principles every happy little MI-BOX worker bee needed to follow.

- Let respect and fairness lead the day
