PACK LIKE A PRO.
How to box, wrap and load your gobox so everything arrives exactly as it left — with the packing products to match. Packing for a move? See moving house storage, and check which size you need before you start.
Please read carefully — damage caused by incorrect packing is not covered by any insurance arranged by or through gobox.
Protect your items with felt blankets, old blankets or towels. Felt blankets are available from gobox.
Place heavy items on the bottom, stack light items on top, and distribute weight evenly through the unit — avoid loading one side.
Pack items as tightly as possible to prevent shifting and damage, and fill boxes completely so cartons can’t collapse or shift.
Pack heavier items in smaller boxes so they lift easily, and use uniform box sizes for stable stacking — gobox packing boxes are designed for exactly that.
Securely close every box, mark each with your name and contents, and place things you’ll need often at the front of the unit.
Use smaller book & wine boxes for glassware, wrap each item individually in bubble wrap or butcher’s paper, stack dishes on their side and glassware upright, and pack open space tight with paper.
Disassemble where possible, cover with cloth or felt blankets, stand lounges on end (protecting armrests), and use protective covers for mattresses and bases.
Clean thoroughly, drain all water (washing machines, fridges, freezers), tape down moving parts, store light padded items inside, and keep fridge and freezer doors ajar to prevent mildew.
Wrap in butcher’s paper or bubble wrap and pack tightly into a picture/mirror carton. Never lay mirrors flat.
Port-a-Robes are best for clothing — shoes and folded items at the bottom, hanging clothes above.
Pack books and papers into the smaller book & wine cartons — big boxes of books are back-breakers.
Four hard rules — no exceptions.
Do not load more than 3 tonnes in one gobox. Do not place flammable or hazardous materials in your unit. Do not store liquids. Do not let children play in, on, or around your gobox.
Packing boxes, felt blankets, Port-a-Robes and covers are all available from gobox — just ask when you book. And see our how to store and protection tips guides.

Gobox was so professional and got the box delivered on the same day that i rang and organised it. Alex was so understanding and went out of her way to help me at the last minute. Well done.
A great experience with the team from gobox, couldn't be happier. Especially want to thank Matt today and also Allie and office staff. Simon also. Many thanks for your help and services. Alison Kindlen
Our experience with Go Box Adelaide was nothing short of exeptional. Our move was not straight forward as we were moving from the suburbs into the city and so we needed to park the Go Box on the street in order to have access to the apartment. The staff on the phone were so helpful and patient and when we needed to see what was possible - the managers came on site to give feedback on where we could place the Go Box. Then Alex - who works in the office contacted the council to help with permits etc. Everything ran so smoothly and they were so great with communication and follow up. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to all the team at Go Box - especially Alex. The service and support definitely exceeded our expectations. And to top it off - the cost was very reasonable.
Great experience overall. The Go Box was delivered quickly and arrived in excellent condition. Customer service was friendly and helpful, and everything was completely watertight as expected. Very happy with the purchase.
Excellent service and great people to deal with. Highly recommend this company
