How do I sign up?

These will be assessed before you are approved for a membership. Once approved you will be able to choose your first bag!

Our members are required to pay a refundable holding fee/deposit, which will be fully refunded after the duration of your membership (regardless of whether it's only one month or longer), provided that none of the bags you choose require any damage repair or deep cleaning. The $10 sign up fee is allocated towards the expenses associated with verifying your identification and carrying out a soft credit check for membership setup.
