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 Archerfield 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 Archerfield.  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.

Second time using Brisbane Removalist. I can not recommend them enough. They are incredibly efficient, polite and hard working. Definitely the most affordable around as well. From the moment they arrived to the moment they left they were absolutely incredible. Thank you Andre and Bruno. Thank you Eileen for your assistance.
Response from the owner: Hi Cassandra. Thank you for the lovely phone call this morning to show your appreciation of the boys' work. This made my day and theirs. We really appreciate you writing a review too, as it is probably the last thing on your mind when faced with the mountain of boxes to unpack, so we appreciate this even more. We wish you all the very best in your new home. Hopefully we will see you again sometime in the future :) Eileen and the team.
I highly recommend Brisbane Removalists. Bruno and Andre were both polite and professional. They worked hard loading and unloading, got the job done much faster than I expected. Bruno's driving between the two locations in wet weather conditions was very safe and cautious. I'm very impressed with the team and will be using Brisbane Removalists for any future moves.
Response from the owner: Hi Tommy, what a lovely review. I am always thrilled to see clients appreciate the effort made by the boys. It is a tough job and not made any easier in the rain. They are skilled at what they do, and it is wonderful that they gave you a seamless move. Happy landing in your new home. Eileen
Eileen and her team are absolute lifesavers. After being let down big time by another removal company, Eileen was able to send a team of 3 movers within 30 minutes of me contacting her on a Friday afternoon. Jesus and his team worked well into the night to ensure my move was completed, and provided exceptional service and care when packing and unpacking my goods.I would recommend Brisbane Removalists to anyone. Eileen displayed extreme empathy to the situation my removalists left me in, and was only too willing to assist me.Thanks team, you are a god-send.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the lovely review, Joseph, I am so glad we could help out last minute like this. Fridays are usually the busiest day of the week given it is often settlement day, so we were very lucky to have been able to manage this for you. Very happy we could. Moving is stressful enough without being let down last minute. I am sorry you had to go through this. We always try our very best to help out when this happens, and we have enough trucks normally to be able to, but it does take a bit of juggling before we can commit to the job while you patiently waited. I think you were amazingly calm given the circumstances. I am just glad we could get you settled. We wish you all the very best in your new home and I hope that our move erased the bad start it was. :) Eileen and the team: Jesus, Miguel and Santiago
Brisbane Removalists were wonderful. Communication was spot on. Marlon and Bruno were absolute champions on the day of moving. So helpful and pleasant. Giving my dogs lots of love helped as well! Thank you. Will be using again for sure.
Response from the owner: Thank you for such a lovely review. It is nice to know that your experience was special and sounded stress-free. Dogs help! I will let Marlon and Bruno know that you appreciated their help on what can be a very stressful day. I am sure they will be thrilled. I am also sure they enjoyed the dogs' company on the day. We look forward to moving you again if you need it. :) Happy landing! Eileen and the team.
On time, great price and great service.
Response from the owner: Thanks David. Great to know we made your move a successful and stress-free one. Thanks for the review. Happy to help out again for your next move. See you soon!
Great movers we had another mover not turn up the morning they were booked and Brisbane removalist saved the day same price and short notice smooth move, great service happy to recommend to other
Response from the owner: Hi Peter, so happy we could help out. It is stressful enough moving without having someone bail at the last minute especially when it was a big move like yours. Super happy our service was to your expectations. Thanks so much for taking the time to write and recommend us. You were lovely, which helps make the move easier too. The team had a good time moving you. Thank you! Eileen
Jesus and Miguel were fantastic. Fast, cheerful and nothing was too hard. I would definitely recommend to others looking for high quality, well priced removalists.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Jodie. the guys will love to hear this. I have let them know. So happy that the move was a success. They truly are superstars. I hope that you settle quickly and can enjoy your new home. Boxes be gone!!! Eileen and the team.
Can’t recommended Brisbane removalists enough,Miguel and Gauspo were super friendly and more than happy to help. Although our move was down the road to another unit, they loaded up with my help and moved everything to the new place in an hour and a half ! All while being careful and respectful of our items. Very competitive pricing even for a Saturday move.Unreal job boys!
Response from the owner: Hi Anthony, Thank you for this great review. I will pass this on to Miguel Gauspo. Really appreciate the enthusiasm for our service. The boys really try to do their best and keep the balance between speed and care. I hope you enjoy your new home. :) Eileen and the team.
Once again, a great experience. I felt ill the morning of the move so I rang Eileen to postpone and she was amazing. Ended up moving on the same day because I felt better. Andre and his workmate were very professional, and very careful with our household items. I’ve used Brisbane removals probably four or five times now and I will not go anywhere else.
Response from the owner: Thanks Tony for the review & positive feedback and really happy we were able to assist with the move and we lived up to our own high standards. Thanks again.
Christian and Michele worked very hard and got the job done with a minimum of fuss. First time I have used Brisbane Removals. Very professional and impressive. Well done all!
Response from the owner: Thank you Russell. Really appreciate the great feedback. I am glad we made your move seamless. I will let Christian and Michele know. Hope you settle well into your new place. Happy landing Russell.
The Brisbane Removalists team were a pleasure to deal with. Excellent communication from the very beginning. The team onsite were careful and packed the truck so well, we had full confidence in their methods throughout. Moving from a Queenslander to a split level house with plenty of stairs and tight corners, nothing was too tricky. Highly recommend their services :)
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the lovely review and email Elisha. We are so happy that you had a super move experience with us. We strive to be the best in the business. It is not always easy in the rain or heat or with tough access but the boys put their heart and soul into their work. I love it when they get wonderful feedback. We wish you and your partner all the best in your new home. :)
Vanderson and Santiago are the best removalists we have ever experienced! Thank you to them both!!!
Response from the owner: Thank you, Lea! Lovely to hear this. I am sure they will be thrilled to see this review. We appreciate you taking the time to write this especially when you are so busy with moving. Hopefully Easter break meant you had time to unpack and get organised. Thanks to your mum too for the lovely email! Hope you had a lovely Easter in your new home. Eileen and the team.
We had André and Bruno for our move today and they were absolutely fantastic.They were both very friendly and worked fast and efficient, even in the pouring rain. We cannot thank them enough for their hard work and care moving our belongings to our new home!Eileen was also lovely to talk to when calling to get a quote and organise the booking. I would highly recommend Brisbane Removalists for anyone looking to move!
Response from the owner: Thank your Alecia for taking the time to write and review us so positively. We are always thrilled to hear that we have done a good job. André and Bruno will be stoked to hear that they made your move so easy and that you were happy. Rain is always an issue on move day and an added stress that nobody wants. So glad it all went smoothly despite the weather. I will pass this review onto our superheroes!!! I hope you settle well despite having to unpack. It is an exciting thing to move but often overshadowed by the logistics of moving. Enjoy this special time in your new home. I hope you create wonderful new memories. Eileen
Very professional and highly recommended for everyone who want to move a house hassle-free.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the lovely review, Thanh! We appreciate you taking the time to review us. We are thrilled to hear that this was a hassle-free move. This is what we strive for. I hope that you have settled well, and you enjoy your new home. :) Eileen
The 3 man Team was awesome and supper careful with the furniture. They were on time and communicated with me every step of the way. Eileen was supper with her support and communication to ensure the booking time and supper great advice on how to expedite the move. All and all a super experience!
Response from the owner: Hi Chris, thank you for such high praise. I am glad that it all went well. It takes a village... and clients are also part of this equation. The more you tell us, the better the move. I hope you have your feet up even if it is on a mountain of boxes! You have the weekend and some helpful elves lurking somewhere hopefully to make them disappear before Monday. I will let Vanderson and Nicolas know. Have a great weekend. Eileen and the team.
Best removalist ever experienced!
Response from the owner: Hi Arthur (Oscar), it was a pleasure moving you! It was a big move and a complicated one with 2 containers, but we got it all done. Thank you for being an awesome customer. You made our job easy too. I will let all 4 boys know that you were had a wonderful experience. They will be thrilled. Happy landing! Eileen and the team.
The guys were amazing.

AAA. Eileen, Rod and all staff were very helpful with the packing, removal,storage, and handling of the furniture and goods in our large 5 bedroom home and delivery to our new home. The fees were very reasonable and everybody were always pleasant. If you ever need to move house then give Brisbane Removalists a call and I am sure you wil not be disappointed with the their help.
Response from the owner: Hi Diane, thank you for your review. I must say that your moves were ones that will stay etched in my mind for a long time. We moved you on 6 occasions over the last 8 months due to trying circumstances to say the least. You never once lost your positive attitude and were so wonderful to deal with the entire time. I am in awe of you, given what you had to put up with. Many would have crumpled. I now have a new mantra when having a tough day...what would Diane do? I feel I need to thank you, not the other way round. I am sure we will keep in touch. I am so happy that you now have your forever home. :) Eileen
We always use Brisbane Removalists as they are the best no problems with booking always turn up on time and fast and professional move they make us have less stress with moving a big thank you to the boys Nathan and his partner very friendly and got the job done very happy repeat customers.
