Why It Matters

Good packing protects what you're storing and makes loading and unloading faster and safer. Buying supplies where you're storing means one trip instead of several, and no guessing whether you've got enough.

Packing Tips From the Team

Pack heavier items in smaller boxes so they stay manageable to lift. Wrap fragile items individually in bubble wrap before boxing them together. Fill gaps in boxes so contents don't shift in transit or storage. Label boxes clearly, especially if they're going straight into a unit for a while.

Kathryn was so understanding about us not knowing what time we’d arrive and she was really welcoming when we did arrive. She showed us our storage unit and explained the process in detail, and went through all the paperwork thoroughly with me. The whole facility was clean and tidy, and the units well maintained. Trolleys and lift were provided as well. Highly recommend.

Kathryn was so great with my mum. She turned a terrible ordeal into a great outcome. I cant thank her enough. She was professional understanding and empathetic. Her customer service was nothing but outstanding. Thank you Kathryn. My mum slept peacefully last night. 😊

It's so nice to deal with the actual owners and not go through a call centre.  Aaron and Kathryn have been so easy and friendly to deal with and they helped us sort out our storage requirements with a better and cheaper arrangement than other storage firms offered.  So glad we found them.
