boxclever was a British electronic and domestic appliance rental chain, that was first launched in 2000, by the merger of Radio Rentals and Granada Rentals.[1][2] The company originally operated through high street stores,[3] but later moved to an online only service. The company was sold to WestLB,[4] who later sold boxclever to Weight Partners.[5]

The chain defaulted in 2003, due to financial issues, and went bankrupt that same year.[6][7][8]
