We provide removable labels for easy identification, so you don’t need to write directly on the crates. Please avoid using permanent markers, tape, or stickers as cleaning fees may apply if crates are returned with adhesive residue or marked with pen.
You are responsible for the crates while they’re in your possession. If any crates are lost, stolen, or significantly damaged, you will be charged the replacement cost per crate. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.
