furniture storage - container storage

Furniture storage for short or long term

ARE YOU IN NEED OF SHORT OR LONG-TERM FURNITURE STORAGE IN BRISBANE?

There are many reasons for needing short or long-term storage and this can be costly! Brisbane Removalists have a cost-effective solution for your interim storage that avoids double-handling and simplifies the entire process.

Our 20-foot storage containers are suitable to house a standard 3-bedroom home overnight, for a week, month or longer. Our storage facility in Nudgee is fully insured and flood risk-free. Insurance is included in our weekly fee, making container moves very flexible and a cheaper option than traditional storage facilities.

RENOVATING IN BRISBANE AND NEED SHORT TERM STORAGE?

Short term furniture storage

Are you renovating, needing your floors repolished, new flooring or carpet laid? Brisbane Removalists can help with the short-term storage needed. We arrive at your house with a container, load your furniture directly, and store it for the time needed. We simply bring the container back for a quick unload when your floors/renovations are done.

No need to ring around third-party storage facilities to get the best deal and waste even more time. You have probably already spent enough time looking for a reliable removalist company! We can be your one-stop shop and have this done in half the time it takes when using a traditional facility.

WHY IS CONTAINER STORAGE COST EFFECTIVE?

Often cheaper and time efficient

Container uplift and storage are cheaper than traditional storage because there is no double handling for one. We uplift directly into the container and store it ready for delivery when needed by our experienced movers. This is a simple, efficient and time-saving option.

With traditional storage facilities, we have to uplift your items into a truck and then unload them into the storage facility. We must then return to the facility to uplift and unload a second time on delivery.  This not only costs more because of the double handling but also because you will have to pay insurance on top.

Sometimes there are even extra fees added such as fumigation.  Some facilities have limited flexibility with minimum storage restrictions. This may mean you have to pay for a month when you only need a week.

WHY CHOOSE CONTAINER STORAGE OVER TRADITIONAL STORAGE?

Container storage is perfect for the following situations.

Double-settlement overlaps

Is double settlement too risky and stressful? Container moves allow you to uplift the day before settlement without the stress of having to be out on time. They also give you time to clean without any pressure and to check you have not forgotten anything.

We can then deliver your goods in the container already packed the day before, without the double handling. You do not have the stress of meeting two deadlines on one day, or worry if the settlement falls through or is delayed and the “then what?” scenario. 

Settlement can sometimes be delayed.  This means you are on the clock with a truck full of goods, nowhere to go with the boys twiddling their thumbs. Securing early entry through your lawyer is a way around this and can take the stress off the table.

On the rare occasion, settlement does not happen at all. If this is the case, you will need a Plan B. It is, however, difficult to secure last minute storage.

Many take the risk without overnight storage, and it works fine most of the time. Container moves do allow for breathing space when moving and reduce the stress of an already stressful day.

If you have more than a 3-bedroom house to move, then 2 containers are necessary. It may then be preferable to upload directly into our largest truck (65m3).  You could pay for it to be stored overnight and off the road until settlement the next day. Talking to us, allows us to provide you with the most cost-effective and stress-free move.

SOLD YOUR HOME, BUT HAVE NOWHERE TO GO?

Container storage can be the answer

Selling your home is already an ordeal, but finding your new dream home simultaneously is a nightmare. Uplifting directly into storage containers, can take that time pressure off you and allow you to find the right property in peace.

Imagine this. Our experienced movers load the container directly with your possessions and take it to our storage facility in Nudgee.  Your goods will be safely stored and fully insured.

Once you are ready, we will upload the container, and unload your goods into your true dream home. Not one bought under the duress of time constraints. This is a great way to save time and money from double handling your goods, all the while time to really find what you want.

TROUBLE FINDING AN APARTMENT?

Short term furniture storage could relieve the stress

A lot of you are struggling trying to find a suitable apartment. You may have been subject to a rent rise you can’t afford, or your landlord has decided to sell. You may be relocating to Brisbane or have a new job and need to move closer. The problem is getting an apartment with the numbers of people looking. Same stress of having to be out of one and not having found the next. Container storage can also a great alternative here.

Other reasons container storage can help

Shared accommodation and excess furniture

Shared accommodation is becoming more frequent with the current housing crisis. Sharing a home can often mean duplicated furniture and appliances that can easily be stored safely until circumstances change or you make other arrangements for them.

Short or long term holiday storage when going overseas

Going overseas for an extended period of time can often mean you need a storage solution until you come back. Knowing your possessions are safe and dry is the peace of mind we offer. Again, direct uplift and drop off without transhipping saves time and money.

Whatever your storage requirements, we are here to help find a solution for you – it’s what we do best.

FURNITURE STORAGE ISN'T ALL WE CAN OFFER YOU

Brisbane Removalists, your one-stop place to go for all your removalists needs & more

For more than a decade now, Brisbane Removalists, experts in moving homes, have offered a wide variety of services. These services which include furniture storage, have helped out many clients and just some of these clients wanted to have their say. You can read what they said on our Reviews page.

Below, is a list of many of our services we offer to help you with your moving, packing, cleaning and storage needs.

Sometimes it is worth to just donate it

Although we always do our best to minimise storage expenses, it all comes down to the amount of space required to store your furniture. You need to decide whether all your belongings are worth the investment.

Consider donating some items rather than paying to store them. Brisbane Removalists can help out with this. Below are some contact links to a couple of registered charities for you.

Excellent and friendly service.
Response from the owner:Good morning, Corrina, thank you for reviewing us. We love to see happy customers and love regular customers too. I hope you settle well in your new home - maybe we will see you again soon. :) I will let Juan and Esteban know that you gave them a 5-star review.
I can not recommend this company more highly. We had booked another removalists who did not turn up. We frantically rang around to find someone else and called Brisbane Removalists and they were fantastic. They called to tell us what time they would arrive and the guys worked so hard. They were very careful with all our belongings. Nothing was a problem for them and they took the stress out of our move and we are very grateful for finding them.
Response from the owner:Hi Greg, we are so happy we could help out. :) It is stressful enough moving without being left in the lurch. We are lucky that we have a good number of trucks and drivers to be able to accommodate when this happens. I will let Vanderson and Thomas know that you were super happy with their work. Thank you for taking the time to let them know. We wish you all the very best in your new home Greg and hopefully you won't need another removalist for a while. Take care, Eileen and the team.
Cal and Diego were really great and friendly, I've had removalist nightmares in the past, but these two kids were great thank you john
Response from the owner:Thank you, John, thrilled for you. This is our goal. I am sure Diego and Cal will be happy to know that they have renewed your faith in moving companies. Thank you for taking the time to thank them. They love getting 5-star reviews! Enjoy your new home and hopefully the unpacking is all done or nearly! Eileen and the team.
I just wish I could give 10⭐️!
From the initial phone enquiry through to completion of the actual move - every step was efficient, smooth & hassle free!! I have moved many times in my life & this one was so professional & cost effective - Kudos & much gratitude to the Team at Brisbane Removalists
Response from the owner:Hi Narda, the best part of my job is the connection I have with clients. You stood out from the beginning as being awesome. I am so happy that your move was to your expectations and more, as this is our goal. Moving is super stressful, so anything we can do to make the day go smoother, the better. I love it when, at the end of the day when calm descends on our very hectic office, that I get to spend more time with customers. I loved our chat. I wish you all the very vest Narda for you and your family. Thank you for taking the time to post this review. I will let Erick and Nicolas know you gave them 10 stars. :) Eileen and the team.
I’ve used Brisbane Removalists before and always they are a great bunch of bananas.
Reliable, easy to work with and respectful.
Thank you for the seamless move
Response from the owner:Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to review us. Part 1 done, Part 2 still to go. The worst is over -see you for round two. Eileen :)
Exceptional, reliable service from start to finish!
Eileen was extremely helpful, friendly and professional, and provided me with an estimate that ended up on-the-money despite being a 2 3/4 hour drive by car between locations, with a reasonably high degree of difficulty and many potential delays!
Friendly, polite and respectful muscle-nuggets Jaime and Jose arrived early for both pick-ups (and left right on the estimated time), worked super fast despite the very solid and heavy cabinets and lounge suites that had to go out a small apartment's tight entry doorway/small balcony and down 17 steps.
The MANY fragile furniture items (e.g. 57" TV, heavy glass dining and coffee tables, glass shelving, tops and display cabinets) were wrapped so well and handled so carefully that not a thing broke or was marked during the whole process.
All-round, 100% satisfaction for a job extremely well done - thank you Brisbane Removalists...based on my experience, I HIGHLY recommend you to anyone who wants their furniture moved efficiently, safely and very affordably! 👏🏆😃
Response from the owner:What a lovely review to start the day with Karen. Thank you! I am sure Jaime and Jose will be thrilled to see this. I will make sure they read this. I am so glad the move went well. It was a bit of a tricky one, but this is what we do on a daily basis, so the teams are used to it. It is always great to see the teams' efforts being acknowledged as it is far from an easy job so thank you for taking the time to do this as I am sure it is the last thing anyone has energy for after a long move. We wish you all the very best in your new home and happy we made it smooth sailing for you. Eileen and the team.
I wanted to give a massive shout out to Diego and Camillo T from Brisbane removalists
These two guys are incredible, they helped moved my Dads furniture during the week
They are true gentleman this move was very difficult for me,moving my Dads things from his beautiful home.
They were very thoughtful during this process
Amazing company, Eileen in the office was the nicest lady to deal with
Would definitely use this company again
Such a lovely company
These boys need a pay rise !!!!!
Eileen is absolutely a true treasure
Well done Brisbane Removalists 🙌🙌🌞🌞🤩🤩
Response from the owner:Hi Julieann, thank you so much for the lovely review. I am so happy we could help out and make a difficult day better. Both Diego and Camillo are absolute troopers and have a lot of pride in their work and show great sensitivity and respect. I know this was an emotional day for you on more than one level, so we are really happy that it went so well. I hope the clock keeps chiming Julieann. You have no idea how this story, made my day! Eileen.
Brisbane Removalists were great. From the first phone call to the last drop off everything ran smoothly. Communication was excellent, received a call back to the initial email enquiry in a timely manner with quote and information following swiftly. Andre & Vince went above and beyond what I expected and had no problem fitting in a last minute second drop off point. Well done guys, much appreciated. They were on time, friendly, polite and packed my belongings with care. Everything arrived in the same state it left in. Will be using them again for my next move and would recommend them to anyone.
Response from the owner:Hi Rita, thank you so much for the lovely review. Glad we gave you an excellent experience. It was a pretty tough week after Alfred for all, so I am sure there was added stress, but everyone got through the week as best they could. I am glad that you are safe in your new home and that we helped minimize the stress for you. Enjoy the rest of the sunny weekend. Take care, Eileen and the team. :)
The team was absolutely amazing again. Doubt i will ever use anyone else.
Response from the owner:Hi Jason, thank you for the high praise. We love to hear this and love to have return customers. I hope you settle quickly and enjoy your new home. I will let our 3 superheroes know that they were amazing. Thanks for taking the time to write this. We really appreciate this. Eileen and the superhero team.
These guys saved us last weekend! When our initial removalists didn't show, Eileen put us at ease, reassured us that they would send the big truck and got the best guys in only 2 hours notice. The moving guys were excellent also, wrapped everything in blankets and were super careful and understanding. Absolutely nothing broken. Thank you so much for your fantastic service!
Response from the owner:Hi Taylor, thank you for such a great review and for taking the time to write it. We really appreciate this as it is the last thing on anyone's mind when moving and settling into a new home. Thank you for making the effort. I am so glad we were able to do this for you given your time constraints. We are pretty flexible with last minute moves as we have a lot of trucks but super last minute can be tricky to get a team on board, so I was really relieved we had one just finishing. I know how stressful this can be for people in this situation, so we try our very best to make it happen. I am sorry that you had to go through that. Moving is stressful enough without your removalists not turning up and worse when you have a deadline to be out of the house. I will pass on the review to our superheroes, Vanderson and Esteban. We wish you all the very best in your new home. Cheers, Eileen and team.
great service prompt polite and professional team! Thank you everyone
Response from the owner:Good morning, Liz! Thank you for reviewing us especially for a super quick mini move - glad we could help. Eileen
Quick and hard working people, easy moving with them.
Response from the owner:Good morning, Ed. Thank you for taking the time to review us. I will pass this on to Camilo and Jaime. Glad we made your move a successful and stress-free, one in as far as moving can be stress-free that is. :) It is a bit of an oxymoron really but if we took away most of the stress associated with moving as a rule, then we have done our job. We wish you all the best in your new home and a wonderful 2025. Happy landing! Eileen and the team.
Brisbane Removalists were fantastic for my recent move. Eileen in the office was friendly, professional and very thorough - she answered all my questions and put me at ease - I knew my move would be in good hands. The two movers were also incredibly professional and efficient. I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Hi Kath, thank you for your lovely review and for taking the time to do this. We are thrilled you move went well and that you felt safe in our hands. I will let Camillo and Miguel know that you appreciated their efforts. Enjoy your new home! Eileen, Thomas, Antje and the team.
We have used Brisbane Removalists twice now for our business moves and they have been very reliable and extremely helpful.
Response from the owner:Good morning, Jenna, Thank you for the review and taking time to actually do this. It is not usually high on anyone's agenda after a move, but it certainly helps us. We are thrilled that you have had 2 successful office moves and that we could help to make the process easy for you. Enjoy your new offices and maybe we will see you again in the future? We wish you all the best for the foreseeable. I will let Thomas and Daniel know. :) Eileen and the team.
Second time I have used Brisbane Removalists and let me tell you, they never disappoint!

Thank you so much to Andre and Lucas for today, you were absolutely incredible! Greeted with a warm smile, both very polite, kind and courteous! P.S - what wonderful singers, you are! Haha ;) I was so stressed about the move but you put my mind at ease right away, had great communication the whole way through and both were very thorough! I can't thank you enough, you are both absolute legends! A++

Also to Eileen and the team, thank you once again for your understanding and oustanding customer service. Always a pleasure speaking with you on the phone! :)

Lauren x
Response from the owner:Good morning, Lauren, What a lovely way to start the day! We love to get such happy clients. We also love to know that our teams are true superheroes, and you got a concert for free! I will have to investigate this. I did not know we had such talent on our teams. I know who to book in for the Christmas party or was that tongue in cheek? I hope that you settle well and that you do not have to move again soon but we will be there for you if you do. I will let Andre and Lucas know that you have given them such a glowing review. We have so enjoyed moving you too and the fun conversations. Makes my job fun too! Cheers, Eileen and the team
Great service from the office and the two young men who came out. Went above and beyond. Would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you, James for taking the time to give us a review. I will let Erick and team know that they did a great job. They are true superheroes especially in this heat. :) Enjoy your new home. Eileen and the team.
I would recommend to a friend. I had a stressful day after a removal company cancelled last minute. These guys saved the day by stepping in last minute! Also to mention Jonathan and Marlon were very carful at handling our goods and made it such a smooth process. Such great workers!!

In my eyes money well spent.

Thanks again,
Daniel
Response from the owner:So glad we could help out Daniel and that our superheroes gave you a 5-star service. It was just lucky that we were able to get a truck available given it was a Friday afternoon - Fridays are always the busiest! So happy we did and gave you the weekend to unpack! Have fun in your new home! Take care!
These guys were amazing!! Prompt, polite and very professional and respectful of our situation. From our first point of contact with the lovely ladies in the office to final payment, we could not fault them. We will not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone! Thank you team!! Deb
Response from the owner:Good morning, James and Deb, This is such a lovely message to see first thing in the morning. Thank you for taking the time to do this. We are so glad that we could make your mum's move a less stressful one. We hope that everything goes well with the changes ahead. I wish you all the very best Deb. You were so lovely to deal with. Something we love in the office - people connecting with people. I am glad Erick and David made this move a gentle one. Take care, Eileen and the team.
The gents turned up on time and cheery at 6:45am. Diego (Colombian) and Sebastian (Ecuadorian) were polite, careful with our stuff and respectful of our family. I was super impressed by their meticulous placement of all furniture on the truck (a passer by said the same!) and there were no bumps or bruises on either property or any of the goods or humans (haha). Pay by the hour and very good value. Thanks all.
Response from the owner:Hi Chris and Sarah, Lovely to hear that your move went so well and that our superheroes made it a stress-free day. I am positive that both Diego and Sebastian will be thrilled to see their names in lights but more that you appreciated their care and professionalism. I hope you both had a fun day. We wish you all the very best in your new home. A new home is always a great way to start a new year off! Cheers, Eileen and the office team.
I recently hired Brisbane Removalists based on a friend's recommendation, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Erick and Christian were fantastic from start to finish. They communicated their ETA and arrived right on time. Both were polite, courteous, and professional, making the whole process feel stress-free.

What really stood out was how careful and attentive they were with my furniture. Not a single item was damaged, and it was obvious they took the time to ensure everything was packed securely. They worked quickly, without cutting any corners, and it was clear they really knew what they were doing. The whole move went smoothly and was completed efficiently.

To top it off, their rates were very reasonable, and there was no surcharge for paying by card.
Response from the owner:Good morning Xavier, thanks so much for such a beautiful review. It was lovely to come back from break to find this. We love to see our teams appreciated for the hard work they do. Erick is a superstar and always ensures his team works carefully and professionally. He is a super team leader. We are also glad you appreciated that our fees are reasonable. We give our best to be a 5 star service without it costing you the earth. We understand the pressures and high costs of moving and struggle it is for everyone. We do our best to make it affordable and minimize costs where we can. We wish you all the very best in your new home and a great start to 2025. It must be great to start off the new year in a new place! Eileen
