FAQs - FlyBox Retrievals: What They Are, Pricing, and Delivery

Learn what a FlyBox retrieval is, how to request one, standard and extended retrieval pricing, optional retrieval add-ons, delivery timing, and information for early adopters and legacy customers.


What is a FlyBox retrieval?

A retrieval is when you request one or more of your stored FlyBoxes to be delivered back to you.

It’s how you get your items returned from FlyBox storage to any physical address you choose within the contiguous United States.

Retrievals are requested directly through the FlyBox app.


How do I retrieve my FlyBox?

Retrieving your FlyBox is simple:

  1. Open the FlyBox app

  2. Go to the Retrieve section

  3. Select the FlyBoxes you want to retrieve

  4. Choose or add your delivery address

  5. Review the retrieval price and any optional add-ons

  6. Confirm your retrieval request

Your FlyBoxes will be shipped from storage to your selected address.


Where can I retrieve my FlyBox?

You can retrieve your FlyBox to any physical address within the contiguous United States.

You are not limited to the address where your FlyBox was originally picked up or returned from.

When placing your retrieval request, simply select or enter the address where you would like your FlyBox delivered.


How much does it cost to retrieve a FlyBox?

Retrieval pricing is charged per FlyBox and is based on the distance between your retrieval address and the location where each FlyBox was last returned.

Standard retrieval

  • $15 per FlyBox

  • Applies when the retrieval address is within 300 miles of the location where the FlyBox was last returned

Extended retrieval

  • $30 per FlyBox

  • Applies when the retrieval address is more than 300 miles from the location where the FlyBox was last returned

The FlyBox app will show the applicable retrieval price for each FlyBox before you confirm your order.


How is retrieval distance calculated?

Retrieval distance is calculated from the location where each FlyBox was last returned to the address where you are requesting it to be delivered.

The retrieval price is:

  • $15 per FlyBox for a standard retrieval within 300 miles

  • $30 per FlyBox for an extended retrieval over 300 miles

Because retrieval pricing is based on each FlyBox’s last return location, the FlyBox app will always show the applicable price before checkout.

Note: If this is your first retrieval for a FlyBox, distance is calculated between the address where that FlyBox was originally delivered and your retrieval address. After a FlyBox has been returned, future retrieval distance is calculated from the location where that FlyBox was last returned.


Are there any additional fees when I retrieve a FlyBox?

The applicable standard or extended retrieval fee is charged when you request a stored FlyBox back.

You can also choose optional add-ons when placing a retrieval order:

Priority shipping

Priority shipping is available only as an optional add-on for retrieval orders.

It is not currently available for new FlyBox deliveries, pickups, shipments to storage, or as a standalone shipping service.

Priority shipping pricing is also based on distance and is charged per FlyBox in addition to the retrieval fee.

Standard priority shipping

  • $45 per FlyBox

  • Applies when the retrieval address is within 300 miles of the location where the FlyBox was last returned

Extended priority shipping

  • $85 per FlyBox

  • Applies when the retrieval address is more than 300 miles from the location where the FlyBox was last returned

For example, one FlyBox with a standard retrieval and standard priority shipping would include:

  • $15 per FlyBox standard retrieval fee

  • $45 per FlyBox standard priority shipping fee

  • $60 total for one FlyBox

Signature-required delivery

Signature-required delivery is also available as an optional retrieval add-on for:

  • $5 per FlyBox

This option requires someone to sign for the FlyBox when it is delivered.

The FlyBox app will show your retrieval fee and any selected add-on charges before you confirm your order.


What is included with my FlyBox plan?

Your FlyBox storage plan includes:

  • FREE use of FlyBoxes

  • FREE pickup or drop-off

  • FREE shipping to storage

  • FREE shipping back to storage after use

  • FREE packing supplies

  • Secure, climate-controlled storage

Your first order includes packing supplies such as bubble wrap, labels, locks, and clippers.

When you request a stored FlyBox back, the applicable standard or extended retrieval fee applies.

Optional priority shipping and signature-required delivery can also be added to a retrieval order for an additional fee.


I was an early adopter or legacy customer. Do I still get my original retrieval price?

Some early adopters and legacy customers may have a different retrieval rate or retrieval credits based on the plan they originally signed up for.

If this applies to your account:

  • Your eligible legacy retrieval pricing or retrieval credits will continue to be honored

  • No action is required

  • The FlyBox app will display the correct retrieval price before checkout

Legacy retrieval pricing applies to the retrieval fee only.

Optional priority shipping is separate and is charged at the applicable current rate:

  • $45 per FlyBox for standard priority shipping within 300 miles

  • $85 per FlyBox for extended priority shipping over 300 miles

Signature-required delivery is also a separate optional add-on at $5 per FlyBox.


Why does my retrieval price look different from someone else’s?

There are two main reasons retrieval pricing may differ.

Distance: Current retrieval pricing is based on the distance between the retrieval address and the location where each FlyBox was last returned.

  • Standard retrieval within 300 miles: $15 per FlyBox

  • Extended retrieval over 300 miles: $30 per FlyBox

Legacy pricing: Some early adopters and legacy customers may have different retrieval pricing or retrieval credits based on the plan they originally signed up for.

The FlyBox app will always display the applicable retrieval price for your account before you confirm your order.


How long does it take to get my FlyBox back?

Once a retrieval is requested in the FlyBox app, FlyBoxes typically arrive within 1–5 business days, depending on your location.

You can retrieve FlyBoxes to any physical address within the contiguous United States.

Tracking and delivery updates are provided in the FlyBox app.

For same-day shipment processing, retrieval requests must be submitted by 5 PM ET.

Same-day shipment processing does not mean same-day delivery.


Does FlyBox offer priority shipping?

Yes, but priority shipping is currently available only as an optional add-on when retrieving a stored FlyBox.

FlyBox does not currently offer priority shipping for:

  • New FlyBox orders

  • Initial FlyBox deliveries

  • Pickups

  • Shipments to storage

  • Standalone shipping requests

Priority shipping can only be added when placing a retrieval order in the FlyBox app.

Pricing is:

  • Standard priority shipping: $45 per FlyBox within 300 miles

  • Extended priority shipping: $85 per FlyBox over 300 miles

The priority shipping fee is charged in addition to the applicable retrieval fee.


Can I retrieve multiple FlyBoxes at once?

Yes.

You can retrieve multiple FlyBoxes in a single request.

Retrieval pricing is charged per FlyBox, and the applicable retrieval price will be shown for each FlyBox before you confirm the order.

If optional priority shipping or signature-required delivery is selected, those fees are also charged per FlyBox.


Can I choose which FlyBoxes to retrieve?

Yes.

You can search and select FlyBoxes by name, description, or photo in the FlyBox app, allowing you to retrieve exactly the FlyBoxes you need while leaving the others in storage.
