STORED SAFE. RETURNED PERFECT.
A few simple steps keep your belongings clean, dry and damage-free while they’re in gobox mobile storage — here’s the full checklist.
Wrap or cover goods with the right products before storing: butcher’s paper, tape and extra-wide bubble wrap; felt blankets, tea chests and book & wine cartons; Port-a-Robes for hanging clothes; plastic lounge and mattress covers.
Wrap each fragile item individually in butcher’s paper or bubble wrap, and clearly label cartons as Fragile so they’re handled with care.
Pack clothes clean, with cedar blocks or similar to keep them fresh. Use clothing and linen bags, Port-a-Robes or tea chests.
Pack books flat in smaller boxes so the spines don’t break, and never pack fragile items together with books.
Separate goods with felt blankets, cushions, cardboard or bubble wrap — in transit and in storage. Soft cloths or cardboard under mattresses, couches and beds add extra protection.
Always enclose couches and mattresses in our special covers before moving — it could be raining on the day, and covers protect them in transit and storage.
Empty wardrobes, cupboards and drawers while moving to protect shelves and structure — refill them once the furniture is in place in storage.
Defrost, dry and clean fridges and freezers. Store fridges upright — never on their side — with doors slightly ajar and a deodoriser (like baking soda) inside. Disconnect, drain and bag washing machine hoses.
Remove food crumbs and stains from clothing and soft furnishings before storing, and never store food of any kind — including wheat bags and dried flowers.
Drain garden hoses, coil them with the ends connected, and store in clean bins. Store mowers with a near-empty tank on a board or plastic sheet in case of leakage.
Visit your unit periodically to check your goods — gobox doesn’t access customers’ units. Maximum load is 3,000kg; an overloaded unit can’t be relocated until it’s reduced.
Number your boxes and keep a simple list of what’s in each. Finding one item later becomes a two-minute job, and a written inventory is exactly what an insurer asks for if you ever need to claim.
Pair this with our packing tips and how to store guides — and remember covers, blankets and boxes are all available from gobox, just ask when you book.
Tap to play — securing your load the right way.
Every gobox has internal tie-rails and straps. Used right, they keep furniture pinned through every kilometre — and correct strapping is what keeps damage claims at zero.

The whole process went very smoothly. From initial contact to delivery of box and subsequent pick up all excellent. Helpful, with good communication. Great team!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND - made moving easy, great customer service and very reasonable pricing. Moving houses but with a two week gap between settlements, this made it so simple! I would recommend gobox to anyone, regardless of a need for storage. You can have this dropped off at your current house and pack it for a week or two, then transported to your new home worry free. We loaded a 3 bed home with lots of shed items (tools, camping, garden etc) into the large container - though we didn't load our couch nor our bed as we took it with us for our gap period. If you have a full 3 bed home with lots of shed items, a large and small might do the job!
Amazing!! Communication in the lead up to the gobox arriving was great, but the delivery and pickup service was outstandingly easy and stress free. Ashley was very helpful and offered options onsite, I am extremely impressed. Would recommend and use again for sure.
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.
