This is not self storage, and that is usually the point

Self storage means you rent an empty unit. Then you hire a ute, load it, drive it out, and do the whole thing again months later. The unit looks cheap. The two weekends are not.

Managed storage means we do all of it. There is one honest trade-off and it is worth knowing before you book. You cannot drop in whenever you like. Access is arranged with notice. Your things sit in a working facility, not behind a roller door you hold the key to.

Need to get at your things every other week? A self storage unit is the better product, and we will say so. If it is going away until you move, managed storage usually costs less. Count the ute hire and the weekends.

What people use storage in Melbourne for

  • Settlement gaps

    Sold on one date, buying on another. The most common reason by far.

  • Renovations

    Period homes in the inner north and east. Six weeks becomes twelve.

  • New build running late

    House and land out west. The handover date moves, your lease does not.

  • Downsizing

    A holding bay while the family decides what stays and what goes.

  • Moving into an apartment

    Less storage than the last place. Usually a lot less.

  • Going overseas

    A year or two away. Collected, stored, delivered when you land.

  • Deceased estates

    Somewhere safe while probate runs and the family works through it.

  • Office fit-outs

    Desks and files between leases when the new floor is not finished.

Moving into a Melbourne apartment? Check the storage before you pack

Victoria sets a minimum storage volume for new apartments under its apartment design standards. Useful, except for one detail most people miss.

That minimum counts the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom storage toward the total. So the headline figure is not spare storage. It is the cupboards you were already going to fill with plates and towels.

In practice the basement cage, if there is one, is what you actually have left. Measure it before you decide what comes with you. A three-bedroom house of furniture does not fit behind a two-bedroom apartment door. Finding that out on moving day is expensive.

The usual fix is to send the overflow into storage from the old address. No point moving it twice. We collect it on the day of the move. It never enters the new place at all.

Compare it against a self storage agreement properly

A self storage unit is advertised at a weekly rate. The real total includes the vehicle hire, your own two weekends, the padlock and any move-in fee.

Worth checking the agreement for two things as well. Most have a minimum month, and most allow the rent to be raised mid-stay on written notice. A long gap can drift well past what you budgeted.

What affects your quote

  • Volume

    How much space it fills. The main number.

  • Duration

    Billed monthly, so a short gap costs less.

  • Access at pickup

    Stairs and a long carry add time at collection.

  • Dismantling

    Beds and wardrobes coming apart and going back.

  • Part retrievals

    Pulling specific items out mid-stay.

  • Redelivery distance

    Where it is going at the other end.

Where your things actually sit

Sealed modules

Your goods in their own module, not stacked loose on a shared floor.

Inventoried

Listed as it goes in, so a part retrieval is possible later.

Wrapped first

Blankets and covers go on before anything is loaded, not after.

Secured site

A working facility with controlled access, not a public drive-up row.

    Back on your date

    Delivered to the new address, furniture rebuilt, placed where you want it.

Four questions worth asking a storage company

  1. Am I paying for empty space?

    Not with us. You pay for the volume your goods fill, nothing more.

  2. Can the rate go up mid-stay?

    Ask any provider. Self storage agreements usually allow it on notice.

  3. What exactly is insured?

    Transit and storage are different products. Ours is set out on the quote.

  4. Who loads and unloads?

    We do, both ends. No ute hire and no favours owed to anyone.

Storage questions, answered

How much does storage cost in Melbourne?
You pay for the space your goods take up, billed monthly. Collection and redelivery are quoted separately because they are moves. Tell us the rooms and roughly how long and you get a written price.
Is there a minimum term?
No lock-in. Billing is monthly, so a six week settlement gap does not cost you six months. Worth comparing against a self storage agreement, where a minimum month is common.
Can I get to my things whenever I want?
No, and this is the honest trade-off. Your goods sit in a working facility, so a visit is booked with notice rather than turning up. If you need weekly access, a self storage unit suits you better.
Can you pull out one or two items?
Yes, by arrangement. Tell your coordinator which items and give us notice. A sealed module and a proper inventory make it possible. Flag anything you might want at collection.
Are my things insured while stored?
Transit cover and storage cover are different products, and anyone who blurs them is doing you no favours. We carry $1M transit cover on collection and redelivery. What applies while stored is set out in writing on your quote.
How is it stored?
In sealed modules rather than loose on a shared floor. Everything is wrapped and blanketed before loading, and listed on an inventory as it goes in.
Do you dismantle furniture?
Yes, where it needs it. Beds, wardrobes and dining tables come apart to store and go back together on redelivery.
What will you not store?
Food and anything perishable, plants, fuel, gas bottles, paint, chemicals and ammunition. Take documents, jewellery and medication with you rather than storing them.
Can you store between settlements?
Yes, and it is the most common reason people call. We collect on your settlement day and redeliver when the new one lands.
What if my dates change?
Tell us and we move them. Settlement dates slip constantly. Billing is monthly, so a few extra weeks is an adjustment, not a renegotiation.
Can you store a whole house?
Yes, from a studio to a five-bedroom. Volume sets the price, so a larger load simply takes more modules.
How much notice do you need to bring it back?
A few days is comfortable, and more at the end of the month. Redelivery is a truck and a crew, so it books like a move.
Can you store business records or office furniture?
Yes. Files go in sealed modules with an inventory. That matters when a business has to account for where records sat.
Will you store it long term?
Yes, months or years. People going overseas are a regular case. Billing stays monthly throughout.
Do you deliver outside Melbourne?
Yes, anywhere in Victoria, and interstate as a separate quote. Plenty of people store here and redeliver to Geelong, Ballarat or the Peninsula.
