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.

Sometimes it is worth to just donate it

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.

I can recommend Brisbane removalists for your next house move, they are very pleasant and helpful, and have excellent moving teams. They make sure the process runs smoothly, and your move gets done. Their prices are fair, for all the work involved, and they have a few options to assist with planning out your move, including storage if needed. Well done, Brisbane removalists!

Erick and team was very helpful. Arrived on time and completed on time. Will definitely use them again.
Erik and his partner were very polite. They communicated throughout the furniture replacement process. Erik sang whilst he worked - a nice atmosphere to create with workmen in your home. The work was handled professionally and with care to ensure no damage to the new kitchen and floors. Highly recommend Thank you Erik and partner.

Brisbane Rremovalists transported the contents of our 3 bedroom house from the Country to Brisbane. They were exceptional and work diligently all day in the rain and did all that they could to protect our property. I could not be more pleased with their efforts and would highly recommend them.

The fact that this is the 5th time using Brisbane Removalists to help us move during renovations of various businesses speaks volumes for the quality of the service. Erick and Sebastian were great, and we'll be calling on BR in a few months' time to help us move into our new building. Thank you BR!

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone involved in our recent move for the outstanding service provided. From the very beginning, commencing with Antje and then through to Eileen, the entire process was handled professionally, efficiently, and with genuine care. Communication throughout was excellent, and it made what can often be a stressful experience feel seamless and well organised. A particularly special mention must go to the two young men Giovanni & Alex who carried out the actual move. They were absolutely amazing, arriving on time, working efficiently without wasting a moment, and maintaining a professional, polite, and respectful manner throughout the entire day. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they truly embodied everything one hopes for in a removalist team. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to them both. Thank you again for such an excellent experience. I very much look forward to working with you all again for the next move Part 2 of the move: Thank you again to the team at Brisbane Removalists, especially Gio and Alex, for another wonderful job with our move to Gympie. Again, the whole process and execution was seamless; a job extremely well done. This was the second move in ten days that we entrusted to Brisbane Removalists, and once again the service was exceptional from start to finish. Gio and Alex were absolutely fantastic — professional, courteous, hardworking and incredibly efficient. Nothing was too much trouble, and they handled everything with great care and respect. Moving is stressful, but your team made it easy and worry-free, and that is very much appreciated. It is a credit to the culture you have created within your business. Please pass on our sincere thanks to Gio and Alex. They represented Brisbane Removalists brilliantly, and we would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone looking for a reliable and professional removalist service. Thank you once again. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you.

If I could give more stars, I would have. This company was great and got us out of a real bind. On the morning of our move, a Removalist we'd booked, cancelled on us. We were in a panic and didn't know what to do. Finding Brisbane Removalists was the best thing. From my initial phone call where they said they have a team that will be able to do it. After moving some things around, we got a call saying they were on their way. The crew then called advising us of the ETA. The crew, Erick and Sebastián were amazing, they packed the truck with professional and ease. They told us their estimated time of arrival at the destination, and then called again to let us know when they were getting close. From there, they again unpacked the truck with great care and professionalism. The fact that they called letting us know any updates was great, as the one that cancelled wouldn't take our calls and would only deal by text message. They probably knew they would get a spray so didn't want to hear it. While Brisbane Removalists weren't our first choice, they should have been and if you are moving, look no further than this business. Thank you to all the team at Brisbane Removalists, you helped us immensely getting us out of a bind.

This company BRISBANE REMOVALISTS is reputable with great reviews but i wanted to warn others - Do NOT confuse this company with BRIS REMOVALISTS who are a complete rip off & scam & I believe they are hoping that people will confuse the 2 companies like me. They have numerous 1 star google reviews all with the same terrible experience, they are late, inexperienced, damage furniture, refuse to unload truck until you pay extiorional amounts (I had a 4.5hr job plus depot to depot travel of 1.5 hours each way & was forced to pay 13 hours plus double the actual km & made up danger fee). They were abusive on the phone & threatening. You have to pay to a personal bank account (S Taylford) not a company, don't accept credit cards, no ABN on any email (& website ABN is a company now deregistered Capital removals). I hope that the other business with similar name

Where do I start? Whats one of the most anxious times in life - moving...! Do you know whats not? Entrusting Brisbane Removalists with the move. I've moved (way too) many times in my life - and this was, by far, one of the "best" moves i have done. Alex and Giovanni were outstanding - from the moment they arrived, to when they drove off - nothing was an issue - all strategically taken care of - no bumps, no scratches, no dents nothing (a far sight better than previous where fridges were dented and washing machine trashed without so much as a sorry). What made it 100 times better was their attitude - laughter, fun and legit enjoyed themselves - even for a Saturday morning! Thank you Brisbane Removalists and a MASSIVE thank you Alex and Gio!

I thought the Brisbane Removalists did a great move . The company keeps in touch, first move in a long time I didn't have to chase the movers . The removalists that did the move were, on time, moved quickly and carefully. No breaks or losses , and where finished a lot sooner than I thought it would have taken.

I chose Brisbane Removalists because of the positive reviews. If you want efficient and friendly, you can't go wrong. I mean, who sings when they're lugging heavy furniture? These happy guys, that's who! I would recommend them to anyone. And if you want to feel as though you're in good hands from the get go, Eileen is your person. So helpful.
