Choosing storage usually comes down to three options: traditional self storage, a removalist, or mobile storage delivered to your door. Here’s an honest look at how they compare.
| gobox | Other mobile storage | Self storage | Removalist | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivered to your door | ✓ Placed where you want it | ✓ Multiple boxes | ✗ You travel to the facility | ✓ They load and take it away |
| Pack at your own pace | ✓ No deadlines | ✓ | ✓ In your own unit | ✗ Loaded on the day |
| No truck or removalist needed | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ Truck hire or trips | ✗ That is the service |
| Keep the unit onsite | ✓ Store at your place | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| One unit, one delivery | ✓ 17.4–23.2 m³ in one | ✗ ~7.9 m³ per box | n/a | ✓ |
| Steel and weatherproof | ✓ | ✗ Timber boxes | ✓ Building dependent | n/a |
| Switch between home and warehouse | ✓ Any time | Varies | ✗ | ✗ |
| Local Melbourne & Adelaide service | ✓ | Varies | Varies | Varies |
Comparison reflects typical offerings. Competitor details change — check current terms before deciding.
Most mobile storage boxes hold about 7.9 m³, so matching one gobox takes two or three of them — and you pay for each.

Both offer mobile storage, but there are key differences that matter.
| gobox | Wooden box | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit size | 17.4 m³ (Medium) · 23.2 m³ (Large) | ~7.9 m³ per box |
| Construction | Steel, weatherproof | Timber boxes |
| ~16 m³ of storage | One unit — $299/mo | Two boxes — $318/mo |
| Delivery | One delivery, placed exactly where you want it | More boxes, more handling |
If you’re looking for a simpler, more flexible experience without strict limitations, gobox is often the better choice.
Four things that change how storage actually feels day to day.
No truck hire, no trips back and forth to a facility. We deliver to your home or business, and you pack when it suits you.

Learn more →03Keep your unit at your place for easy access, or have us store it securely. You can switch at any time.
Learn more →04Moving, renovating, decluttering, business overflow, emergency storage after property damage — a gobox fits the situation.
Learn more →We would rather you picked the right thing than the gobox thing.
If you’re in and out of your storage several times a week, a facility unit you can walk into may suit better — though a gobox kept at your place gives you the same thing.
View →For a few boxes and a bike, a full unit is more than you need. Check the size guide first — a smaller option may be the sensible call.
View →We deliver the unit and you load it at your pace. If you’d rather someone else did the lifting on the day, a full-service removalist is the better fit.
View →It depends on the job. With self storage you also pay for a truck or van, fuel, and the time to load, drive and unload — twice. With a gobox, one delivery covers it, and you can keep the unit at your place. For a like-for-like volume our pricing is usually the lower total cost once those extras are counted.
A gobox Medium holds 17.4 m³ and a Large holds 23.2 m³. Most competitor boxes hold around 7.9 m³, so it takes two or three of them to match one gobox — at a higher monthly total.
Yes. You can keep it on your property for as long as you need, or have us collect it into our secure warehouse. You can switch between the two at any time.
Not always — it depends on access. Our custom delivery vehicle can place a unit in tight driveways, and our team will confirm the details with you when you book.
There are no time limits on packing, and storage is flexible. Call 1300 668 688 and we’ll confirm the current terms for your state.

Everyone was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I've used Gobox for a second time now and I am very happy with the service provided.
We contacted Go Box on Monday afternoon & the box was on site on Wednesday! Allie and the team are highly professional & friendly. The service was outstanding. What an amazing family business. It has made moving house very simple!
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.
