FAQ
Can the postman deliver to a Packhood host?
Yes — most hosts accept signed-for couriers during their listed access hours. Confirm with the host via dashboard chat.
How much does ecommerce stock storage cost?
Wholesale-tier rates on Packhood run about half the rate of commercial self-storage in the same postcode — exact rates depend on your city and volume.
Can I rent the same listing for 12+ months?
Yes. Bookings auto-renew monthly. Many hosts negotiate annual discounts via the dashboard chat.
Will the host repackage items for me?
No — Packhood is storage, not 3PL fulfilment. Hosts hold inventory; you handle pick + pack.
What insurance covers stock?
Every booking carries the £260 Host Guarantee aggregate per booking. Renter is responsible for their own contents cover; higher-value stock needs renter-side commercial cover, verified before booking.
