MORE SPACE. LESS MONEY.
See how gobox mobile storage stacks up against self storage, removalists and other mobile storage — flexibility, effort, security and value, side by side.
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 |

Both offer mobile storage, but there are key differences that matter.

| Construction | Steel, weatherproof | Timber boxes |

| 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.

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.

The Gobox team were amazing to deal with, and very well priced. If I need mobile storage again, I'll definitely being going back to Gobox.
We booked a box for moving house. I described my desire incorrectly however the team adjusted the booking so the box aligned with our plan. I was very grateful. Thank you for your services
Outstanding service from my first enquiry! This is a business that puts the customer first in EVERY-thing they do. Lovely friendly people who work cohesively to provide exceptional service exceeding my (high) expectations every time. I recommend highly. With gratitude.
This is the 3rd time since 2020 that I have used GoBox and can highly recommend their service. Great value for money and easy to organise.
The ease of service from the initial booking to delivery to pick up was sensational. Great team, great product and great service!
Absolutely exceptional service dealing with Gobox from two years ago until now. Their drivers and customer service reps are so helpful, friendly and easygoing! They are very responsive and communicative. I never had to wait on the phone to speak with someone and my emails have always been responded to within a day. If you need your belongings stored I cannot recommend Gobox enough. The units are clean, well engineered and secure. Delivery is made super easy as well!
