“I love the camaraderie, the advice, the sharing, and the uplifting fellowship between women!”

SmartBox
SMARTBOX is the portable moving and storage company, we serve Richmond, the surrounding counties and the Tri-Cities. We deliver the box to the customer, the customer loads and we deliver to the new address or back to our climate control storage center. No need to rent a truck and worry about driving or how long you are allowed with the truck. SMARTBOX saves our customers time because they only have to load once, instead of into the truck, into storage, out of storage, into the truck and then finally into their new residence. SMARTBOX is the “smarter way to move” and with the $20 off for all RMA members it is even smarter.
