New Year, New Home?
Thinking about selling your home? Sure, a large percentage of home sellers schedule their sales to close consistent with the school year, but that means NOW is the time to list it. Realtors will tell you that January and February are busy months, so if you’re...
Put the GIVING in Thanksgiving
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, our thoughts turn to our neighbors. We at iCan are feeling fortunate and grateful to our clients who have been part of our wonderful start, and want to share our good fortune. In that spirit, iCan will donate canned foods to...
Boxes: Love ’em – or Leave ’em! Now You Can: Introducing iBins!
We have a love-hate relationship with cardboard boxes. They’re an essential part of moving and let’s face it, sometimes they’re absolutely necessary, like for things that are going to stay boxed and put in basement or attic storage. Problem is, they’re horribly...
Climate Controlled – Exactly WHAT Does That Mean?
It’s the dog days of summer, the time when we are deeply grateful if we have air conditioning in our homes, and deeply aversive of going out into the humidity. But what about your stuff in storage? We’ve all seen it: self-storage and even portable storage places that...

I used to think of staging as a service for the stars – but these statistics prove me wrong: Turns out, 94% of homes staged by a professional sold in 29 days or less – 1/5 of the time it took an un-staged home. We’re talking regular-people homes here, not Hollywood...
Building a Business – Literally
We are often asked how our iCans arrive at iCan World Headquarters – unbuilt? Is the build quick? Can you do it yourself? Is it fun? The answer is yes. We decided to shoot a time lapse video so you can see for yourself. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/S99aA3E9ZmQ
What Are Tie-Downs and Why Do I Need Them?
Yes, iCan transports your container smoothly and levelly – but if there’s a hill anywhere between your house and our warehouse, at some point your iCan is going to be on a slant. That’s where tie-downs come in: they hook into D-rings inside the iCan and, when...
Packing Tips to Make You King of the iCan
We get a lot of questions about packing an iCan – how to distribute the weight, whether to take apart furniture, how to maximize use of the container – which is why we have a “packing tips” section on the website. But you want details, don’t you. You want to be King...
