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 storage unit. You only need 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 nearest modern, secure storage facility where we have top of the line, 24/7 surveillance. It is then stored inside, away from the harsh Aussie elements, such as the heat, cold, rain and pests.

That’s why MetroBOX is the easiest and safest self storage options available in both Melbourne and Sydney!

All your furniture is securely and professionally wrapped and padded with our complimentary furniture pads, protective plastic sheeting and blankets. This keeps your belongings safely immobile within the MetroBOX during transportation and prevents rubbing or scratching. We also used furniture straps to hold any items securely in place.

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.

Firstly, it's quicker and cheaper. At MetroBOX, our trained, professional removalist team do all the heavy lifting for you. And that service is already included in our storage quote price. We know how to wrap, pad, stack and secure your goods efficiently and quickly 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.

Each MetroBOX takes under an hour for our professional removalists to load. Even less if there are no complicated items to load or entranceways to navigate.

We bring the storage to you and even load it for you for an all inclusive, low price. But if you really have your heart set on spending your hours and energy doing all the heavy lifting, there is an option to bring all your belongings to our closest storage site to your location and load it yourself.

At MetroBOX, the pick up and delivery is FREE! And we include the professional loading in the initial self storage quote price. When you're ready for your belongings to be returned and unloaded it will cost exactly the same price as the original loading fee if you are having it delivered anywhere in the same MetroBOX zone. If you request a return delivery to a different MetroBOX zone, you may have to pay the difference between the two zones. You can check the MetroBOX zoning on our Melbourne MetroBOX page here, or on our Sydney Self Storage page here.

Of course! MetroBOX makes moving interstate between Melbourne and Sydney easy, efficient and stress-free. And you can book us to return your storage to your new location once you’re all ready and settled. You just get yourself there. We’ll look after your stuff!
