HOW THIS EXPAT USES R1 TO SIMPLIFY MOVING e has been featured in Destiny Man and GQ magazines. He has also appeared twice on Talk Radio 702: on John Robbie’s prime time slot and on Redi Thlabi’s show for The Green Tip Of The Day. The buzz revolves around his inexpensive solution to taking away the headache of moving premises while aiding the environment. In a world that has no option but to go green, a simple idea from Kenyan born Eric Njuguna looks to make cardboard boxes as uncommon as the typewriter. “For me, it makes no sense for people to add to the cycle of chopping trees by using cardboard boxes when moving premises,” Eric says, “These boxes add to the headache of the process by getting torn and you have to use new ones every time while risking loss of items. My idea is therefore to provide a secure and environmental solution that ultimately saves people time and money.” And the idea is as simple as it promises. When faced with an impending change of location, visit www.rentabox.co.za and order online. Within 24 to 48 hours they will deliver lockable sturdy plastic boxes to your house which you use to ferry your stuff to your new site. They give you some time to unpack everything and visit you at your new location to pick up the boxes. All this at the ridiculously low price of R1 per box per day. “A person with a two bedroom flat would spend about R475 in
total for the Rentabox service,” Eric estimates, “This is based on the rental of about 25 boxes for the move.” Other than people moving house, Eric believes that his product is useful for corporate entities as well given the option to buy the eco boxes at a competitive price. “Think of sales guys who carry boxes of information to make pitches or auditors who have to carry files from office to client,” Eric cites, “They could acquire boxes from us which will be used for about 400 times on average, practically a life time. In addition, so many companies are currently using cardboard boxes for storage that are subject to damage from such elements as water. Our boxes are not only durable, they allow compartmentalisation for ease of filing.”
The response to Eric’s solution has been so good, he recently quit his high paying IT job to focus on what has become a passion. “Using the Rentabox solution as opposed to these horrid cardboard boxes is an absolute no brainer!” he concludes. www.rentabox.co.za sales@rentabox.co.za or call Eric on: 071 199 4371
