Mobile self storage is called ‘mobile’ because the storage unit is brought to you. Traditional self storage means you need to pack, lift, load and transport all your things to a storage facility all by yourself. It takes a whole lot more time than most people factor in and can also damage your back and your belongings in the process.

At MetroBOX, we even take the ‘self’ out of the equation because we will also professionally load up your boxes. You simply have to lock it up on the spot and keep the key. The rest of the transport, unloading and storage is all on us.

After your MetroBOX leaves your property, it’s transported directly to our modern, secure storage facility where we have top of the line, 24/7 surveillance and security. It is then stored inside, away from the harsh Aussie elements, such as heat, cold, rain and pests.

That’s why MetroBOX is one of the easiest and safest storage options available in either Melbourne or Sydney!

All your furniture is securely wrapped and padded with our complimentary furniture pads, protective plastic sheeting and blankets. This keeps your belongings safely immobile within the MetroBOX during transit and stops them from even rubbing or scratching against each other or the MetroBOX walls. We also used straps to hold any items securely in place when required.

Our MetroBOXes are made from a durable composite of structural wood that has been built to last. The wood has absorbent qualities that help protect your furniture from moisture and mildew that are often a problem with steel or shipping container storage unit options.

At MetroBOX, our trained, professional removalist team do all the heavy lifting for you. We know how to wrap, pad, stack and secure your goods to fit more into your MetroBOX. Plus each item is padded, protected and secured inside the box, so there’s less chance of displacement.

There’s also the added benefit of not having to wrap, lift, carry, and stack things yourself - saving you time, stress and the aches and pains that go along with it.

Yes, but you can only self-load your own MetroBOX at our secure storage site. In that case, you'll need to bring all your belongings to our storage site yourself.

Of course! MetroBOX makes moving interstate between Melbourne and Sydney easy, efficient and stress-free. Book your redelivery once you’re all ready and settled. You just get yourself there. We’ll look after your stuff!
