Looking for a gobox’ Containers Rental Service?
Finding the right home storage unit or moving container can be challenging. Travelling around to different storage centres and locations when you are already limited on time and would like to get packing. Or worrying about the unit being secure and safe against bad weather, such as heavy rain or strong winds. We make it easy with our flexible storage solution. Whether onsite or home storage units, we'll deliver them when you need them.
You start by ordering your gobox, and we will organise a time to drop off your storage container at your premises. All that's left for you to do is load it up! Perfect storage space for keeping your furniture and other valued items close when moving houses and settling into your new home.
Some are built for big jobs, while others are designed for convenience. So, which one should you go for?
Have you ever wished you could move without the panic of tight timelines? That’s exactly what moving containers offer.
Let's say you’ve got a house full of belongings, but your new home isn’t quite ready. Instead of cramming everything into a moving truck and hoping for the best, you arrange a moving container.
It’s that simple. Moving containers tick all the boxes whether you’re doing a long-distance move, moving interstate, or just need a cost-effective way to shift household items.
When it comes to moving house, you’ve got two main options: hiring a removalist or using a portable self-storage unit from gobox.
With a traditional removalist, everything happens on their schedule. They pack, load, and transport your belongings all in one go. But that also means tight timeframes, higher costs, and the risk of items getting damaged in the process.
Portable self-storage, on the other hand, gives you more flexibility. A storage unit is delivered to your door, and you can pack it up at your own pace. There’s no pressure to get everything done in a single day. Once you're ready, the unit is picked up and either delivered to your new home or stored securely until you need it.
| Feature | Portable Self-Storage | Traditional Removalists |
| Pack on your own time | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (You’re on their schedule) |
| Budget-friendly | ✅ Yes (You control costs) | ❌ No (Labour, truck fees, extra charges) |
| Door-to-door service | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Short-term storage option | ✅ Yes | ❌ Not at all |
| Less risk of damage | ✅ Yes (You pack carefully) | ❌ Not really (Movers handle everything) |
| Good for interstate moves? | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
If you want to save money, reduce stress, and have more control over your move, portable self-storage is the better choice. You don’t have to worry about movers rushing through the process, and you can store your things safely for as long as needed.
Yes, you probably do. Moving house isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes, there's a gap between moving out and settling into your new home. Maybe the settlement got delayed. Maybe you're downsizing and need extra space. Or perhaps you're off on a temporary relocation and don’t want to lug everything with you.
Here’s when a storage facility makes sense:
A secure storage centre is a cost-effective way to store your household items safely. No need to cram things into a mate’s garage or risk damage in an empty container.
We recommend that you request that your unit be delivered at least a week before moving. This will give you ample time for packing. It also means that you only need to load a few things on a moving day.
Many of the items in your house can be loaded with the help of friends and family. This will save you time and stress and put you in complete control of your move.
Be a Time Master – Plan Your Move Efficiently
Once you have moved and the moving container arrives at your new home, there is no rush. You can take your time to unload. With a gobox mobile storage, you won't have the pressure of removalists charging you by the minute.
If your plans change or settlement dates don't align, gobox has the flexibility to change at your own pace with you. Where necessary, we can store your gobox at our place until you are ready.

Midweek moves are the way to go. Tuesday to Thursday are the quietest days, making it easier to book a moving company or a gobox's container. Plus, traffic is lighter, which means less time on the road and lower costs. Fridays are the busiest, so unless you love stress and delays, avoid them if you can.
Yes, it is. Moving containers are a cost-effective option compared to hiring full-service movers. You pack at your own pace, store if needed, and only pay for what you use. The final cost depends on container size, distance, and extras like storage facility options.
A three-bedroom house usually needs two large moving containers, or one large and one medium gobox container. It depends on how much stuff you have. If you’re a minimalist, one big unit might do. If you’re a collector of “just in case” items, you might need extra space.
Not everything belongs in a storage facility. Food, flammable materials, toxic chemicals, and firearms are a no-go. No live animals or plants, either—your gobox's storage unit isn’t a greenhouse or a pet hotel. If it’s dangerous, perishable, or illegal, it shouldn’t be in there.
Our medium storage unit starts at $220.00 per calendar month to store at your place. In addition, there is a $115.00 delivery fee for deliveries within 40km of our warehouse. For an exact price, call gobox and get a detailed quote tailored to your moving and storage needs.
