- Cash App
- PayPal
- Venmo
- Zelle

Checks are not accepted. Plan on one of these methods for both the deposit and the final bill. The same methods work for adding a tip to the bill at the end of the job.
Deposits and Holds
A website booking is a request, and an email confirmation follows. After confirmation, the Service Agreement is sent for signature. The deposit is due at booking to confirm the reservation, and it must be paid no later than 72 hours before the job. Until the deposit is paid, the date and time are not held, and the slot may be given to another customer who pays first. The deposit covers the minimum hours at the booked rate, which depend on the service and the number of helpers, plus any supplies, rentals and the estimated mileage, and it is applied to the final bill.
A hold authorization is placed before the job, and the final amount is billed on completion.
How Hourly Billing Works
Billing starts on arrival at the first location and stops when the work is finished at the final location. Hourly services have a minimum that depends on the service and the number of helpers, then time is prorated in 15-minute increments.
Billing covers the full reserved time block. For reservations over the minimum, up to one hour of unused time is refunded.
Time past the booked block: Extra time past the booked block is billed in 15-minute increments at the booked rate, up to 1 extra hour, and only when the crew's schedule allows. If another job is waiting, the crew leaves on time. The team leader may extend further only if no other job is waiting, and extra time is never guaranteed.
Access delays: If the crew can't get in at a storage unit or building (for example a missing gate code, closed access hours or the wrong unit number), waiting time is billed at the hourly rate.
Refunds, Returns and Cancellations
Labor and services: Payments for labor are non-refundable once the work starts, including the minimum hours. The one exception: if you reserved more than the minimum and the job finishes early, up to 1 hour of unused reserved time is refunded. Deposits are applied to the final bill. If something isn't right, tell the team leader before the crew leaves so it can be fixed on the spot. Damage is handled through the Claims Policy, not as a refund.
Boxes, supplies and materials: All sales of boxes, tape, bubble wrap, moving blankets, stretch wrap, mattress covers, floor and door protection and other supplies are final. Rocket Services doesn't accept returns or exchanges and doesn't give refunds on supplies, opened or unopened, used or unused. Supplies left over after the job are yours to keep. If an item arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, tell the team leader before the crew leaves, or send photos within 24 hours, and it will be replaced.
Bin rentals: Rental fees are non-refundable, including when bins are returned early.
Cancellations: Charges depend on notice:
- 48+ hours: $25 or 3% of the booking, whichever is greater (a processing fee; no other charge)
- 24 to 48 hours: 2 hours at the booked rate
- Under 24 hours: charged in full
Other Charges
- Stairs: $20 per flight after the first
- Mileage: $1 per round-trip mile from our Aurora base (80017), charged on every job from the first mile
- Tolls and paid parking: only when requested, at cost plus a $2 processing fee per toll
- Same-day jobs: $79, subject to availability
- No-show fee: $75 if no one is at the location when the crew arrives
- Access delays: waiting time at the hourly rate if the crew can't get in (gate code, access hours or wrong unit)
- Clean out hazard fee: $250 for rodent droppings, rotting or abandoned food and similar conditions
- After-hours and overtime: +20% on the hourly rate before 7 AM, after 7 PM, or past the crew's 8-hour day
