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.

I had a fantastic moving experience with Brisbane Removalists.
Our two movers were incredibly careful, efficient and very thoughtful throughout the whole process. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly, and they made the move completely stress-free for us.

Really appreciate the great service — highly recommended! 👍😊
Response from the owner:Hi Daniel, Happy we could help! 非常感谢您的精彩评价!能为您服务是我的荣幸。我非常期待再次造访上海。期待与您在上海再次相见!艾琳
From Eileen who took my call and turned an impossible situation around, to Vanderson and Sebastien who tirelessly moved us into a warehouse during a very humid day, I can not recommend a moving company more enthusiastically! They were so responsive and incredibly professional and a joy to have working in your space! Thank you so much for all your help yesterday! 💪
Response from the owner:So lovely of you to have taken the time to review us Jodie. Glad we could turn your last minute let down into a positive. We really do have superheroes and they are the backbone of our success. Thanks for giving them a shout out. I wish you all the best for your event and hope that it creates awesome memories for you. Congratulations! Eileen and the team.
Brisbane Removalists have been incredible in moving us today! We have had the best experience from our initial enquiry, booking, arriving on time with a courtesy call half an hour prior, and understanding multiple drop offs along the way.
Our family have been very happy with how easy this emotional move has been made for us. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to thank the team and their efforts. We appreciate the positive feedback. We are just really happy we could help out under the circumstances and make it easier for you. We wish you all the very best. Take care :) Eileen and the team.
We needed a last minute removalist and thankfully Brisbane Removalists were available! Eileen organised a truck for us ASAP, everything was friendly, fast and easy! Price was good too! The removalists handled everything with care. Thanks so much for helping us out!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Lily for a lovely review. Glad our superheroes could help out and that we could get you moved last minute. We wish you all the very best in your new home. Take care, Eileen and the team
For a commercial office relocation I contacted several removalist for quotes and Eileen was the most helpful and professional, hands-down.

Eileen was great to work with especially as I'm based in another state and I was managing the Brisbane office relocation.

The removalists were on time and had the job completed swiftly and our company staff in attendance couldn't speak more highly of Brisbane Removalists.

Another tenant in the building we were vacating appreciated the review our staff gave of Brisbane Removalists and requested I forward the contact details for Eileen, which I promptly did - also forwarding to the Property Manager for the building for other tenants moving in or moving out.

Thanks to all of the crew at Brisbane Removalists.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for such a lovely review Mel. It was such a pleasure dealing with you throughout the process too. We appreciate the word of mouth...this is what we rely on the most - happy customers! I can't wait to find out more about that old safe! Hope our paths cross again. Eileen and the team.
Thank you so much. The boys were amazing. We were very happy with the way they handled our furniture and also their happy disposition. Thanks again.
Response from the owner:Hi Kari- Ann, thank you so much for the lovely review. I will let Vanderson and Thomas know that they did a great job. :) Thanks for using us for a second time. We love return customers. We wish you all the very best in your new home. Happy landing. Eileen and the office team.
We sold our home a week or so before we could move into our new apartment. After doing a fair amount of research and getting quotes, we decided on Brisbane Removalists.

We liked the idea and the costs saved by not double handling our belongings in the traditional way of loading a truck, unloading into storage, loading again then delivering to the new site.
Lots of extra hours required for that.

Vandersen and Jorge loaded our things in a very efficient and well considered way, they were courteous and respectful not just to us but ensuring there would be no damage to the house.

Stage two has not been done yet and that is unloading at our apartment building.
Brisbane Removalists claim to be experts in this type of moving and we look forward to the next step with the same minimal stresses for us.
Response from the owner:Hi Paul, thank you for your lovely review. I will let Jorge and Vanderson know that they were once again "Superstars" We thank you for referring us too. We live on word-of-mouth reviews - so much appreciated. We look forward to moving you into your new home Paul. We hope it will be a great offload too! See you soon. Eileen and the team.
10000/10 Breno and Joao were an absolutely incredible team together. They were on time, so friendly, and very good at their job. They took such care with all my items and were very cautious of my walls when delivering into my new house. Moving is usually such a stressful process but they made the day so exciting and fun, and I would 100% use them again!
Response from the owner:Another glowing review for Breno and Joao. They ARE true superheroes. Thank you for putting their names in lights and thanking them like this. Being a removalist is a tough job and we are very thankful that we have such great teams that do the hard slog day in and day out. We love it when they get the appreciation they are due. I am sure they had a great move with you too. It really makes a difference to their day being appreciated for their efforts. Enjoy your new home! Eileen and the team.
The best decision I made in my recent move was hiring Brisbane Removalists. From Eileen's first response to a request for a quote through to putting the last of my possessions into the storage unit, everyone that I dealt with was professional, helpful and friendly. Breno and Viktor arrived with huge smiles and their positive energy carried me through a really difficult day. They were careful with all items and checked with me before continuing if they were unsure of anything. Highly recommended!
Response from the owner:What a super review Aylex. You have certainly made our day. I will let Breno and Viktor know as they will be stoked too. We are really happy that we managed to take the stress away from you...see, moving can be fun!!! I am sure you had a great day with the team. They are true superheroes that not only wear invisible capes but also a wonderful attitude despite the heat and tough job it can sometimes be. Enjoy your new home Aylex and thanks for taking the time to review us. Eileen and Thomas.
Simply an awesome service. I researched many removal companies and was immediately impressed with the professionalism and guidance provided by Brisbane Removalists. They arrived on time and immediately commenced the move. They were very careful with our belongings going out of their way to ensure it was carefully protected and packed. Very reasonable rates and utterly reliable. I couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Hi Robert, oh how we love to hear this. :) Thank you for taking the time to write so much and for your appreciation of our service and our superheroes. They are awesome and we love to see that their efforts praised. I will let Vanderson and Javier know that they excelled once again. Take care and enjoy the sunsets and beach! Eileen and the team
Professional and capable staff at great prices
Response from the owner:Hi Michael, Thank you for your lovely review. I will let Sebastien and Sebastien know that you were happy with their efforts. Glad it all worked out - difficult for you not being there, but it all worked out as planned. :) Eileen and the team
These guys were excellent in every respect - They took the job on a Saturday at short notice and powered through a three-bed home in one go. The boys were so gentle with my stuff that I think they take better care of it than I do! Would definitely use these guys again.
Response from the owner:Hi Sam, thanks for the wonderful review. We love to hear this. I will let Vitor and Dave our superheroes know that they saved the day. We wish you all the very best in your new home and are glad we could get this sorted for you last minute. :)
The boys did an AMAZING job. It was a long and hot day and they powered through. We were moving into a new build with 2 flights of stairs and nothing was too much trouble for them. They moved the entire house so carefully and methodically and didn’t make a single scratch, all with big smiles on their faces (even though it was obvious the heat and stairs were getting to them!!). Thank you so much for their care and attention :) would absolutely recommend.
Response from the owner:Hi Melinda, thanks for the lovely review. I had to laugh when I read this and found out that it was Juan and Sebastien. I do not think I have ever seen Juan without a smile and Sebastien and he make a super team. I am glad that it was a great move despite the heat and appreciate you taking the time to thank the team as it is a tough job to do every day and we love to see it when clients appreciate this hard work. Enjoy your lovely new home. Well deserved I am sure after going through the building process. :)
Absolutely amazing service – best moving experience ever!

From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They handled everything with so much care and made what’s usually a stressful day feel completely effortless. Communication was great, they arrived right on time, worked quickly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up perfectly at the new place.

I’ve moved a few times before, but this was by far the smoothest and best experience I’ve ever had with a removalist company. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, hardworking movers who genuinely care about their customers!
Response from the owner:Hi and thank you for such a lovely review. I am unsure if it was us that moved you as I do not recognize your Google handle. I am hoping we did move you. It sounds like our superheroes but I would not like to steal a review that someone else deserved. Eileen and the team.
From the very first phone call to the final item being carried from truck to our new home was professional, friendly and efficient. Bren & Alejandro arrived right on time and all through the very long day they were happy, smiling, having fun and super efficient. I can highly recommend the Brisbane Removalists team they turned what can be an extremely stressful day into a pleasant surprise. Thank you all so much we are so grateful for a smooth day. 🩷
Response from the owner:Hi Karyn, thank you so much for your lovely review. I am sorry that I have just found this now as it usually pops into my email when I get one and this was not the case. Thank you for taking the time to show your appreciation of our services and our teams. They are fantastic and work so very hard. We love that they can take the stress away from you on a typically stressful day. I will let Breno and Alejandro know that you thought they were superheroes too. :) Eileen and Thomas.
Excellent team
Response from the owner:Hi Darryl, thank you for supporting our business and team. I have let Vanderson know. They had a great move with you too by the sounds of it despite it being a long day. I hope you enjoy your wonderful new home. Eileen and the team at BR
I couldn’t be happier with the team at Brisbane Removalists. From the start, the admin side was a dream to deal with — Eileen in particular deserves a shout-out for being so organised, attentive and endlessly patient with all my questions. On moving day, Breno and Alex made light work of the whole house, moving everything quickly, carefully, and with genuine good humour. The company’s communication, work ethic and pricing are hard to beat, and they turned what could have been a stressful experience into something surprisingly easy. I’d recommend them without hesitation.
Response from the owner:Thank you for moving with us again Bec, I am glad it went as smoothly as last time. I think your review may have overwritten your a previous one from way back when. We love moving you - you are such a lovely person. I will leave my last response below anyway. Merci ma belle! You were always a breath of fresh air and great to talk to on the phone. The highlight of my day! Your requests were absolutely not out of the ordinary - normal practice for us in the office - life is a moving tapestry in this business. I am so happy that we finally got you into your new home. I really hope that you love your new place and that you settle in well. I wish you all the very best Bec. Auf wiedersehen :)
Whoever has previously commented about late turn-up or no communication I couldn’t have had a more different experience. I was warned in advance that the time I chosen meant the previous job could be running late - they still turned up right on the dot. I had a piece of furniture which I know two people would really struggle and it would be dangerous. We worked around it. I needed an extra 2 hours and they accommodated it easily. Constant communication and updates the whole time! Plus the two guys they sent couldn’t have been friendlier and very skilled at how to avoid damage or hitting any walls etc.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Thanks team!
Response from the owner:Hi Peter. Thank you for the lovely review. I will let Erick know that you have given him a 5 stars. :) Second jobs are always dependent on the first finishing as planned but this is not always the case. Sometimes we can even arrive earlier than planned, but we always warn people of this. Glad that your job went smoothly and that our superheroes worked hard. You were also a wonderful client. The team had a lovely day. Enjoy your new home. Eileen
Vanderson & Sebastian B were amazing on our moving day, they were so friendly and so efficient. They made it feel like everything happened easily, even with an early morning start and evening finish. They got everything safely packed up, take a lot of care with wrapping our furniture, which we really appreciated. They unloaded everything in the new house to where it needed to be, and even assembled our furniture with their own tools! Thanks so much guys you are the best!
Response from the owner:Good morning Nikki, lovely to come into the office and see this. We are thrilled that you move was seamless and the day as stress-free as possible when it comes to moving! I will pass on your lovely comments to Vanderson and Sebastien - They love to know they have made a positive impact on your move. They are truly superheroes. They work tirelessly and always with a smile. We wish you all the very best in your new home and a fresh new start with lots of new places to explore. Eileen and the team at BR
Well ordered move across St Lucia, Brisbane.
Response from the owner:Hi John - thanks for the 5 star and taking the time to post this. Glad we could help and that all went as planned. Enjoy your new home. Eileen and the team.
