Got Too Much Stuff? Welcome to Australia’s Favourite Relationship: You & Your Storage Unit.. Saucy..
There comes a time in every Australian’s life (in fact everyone in the world) when you look around your home, garage, car boot, garden shed or overflowing hallway cupboard and realise: “I don’t need less stuff.. I just need more places to store it!” We have seen it.. over and over..
Enter:
The glorious, underrated hero of modern living, the kings of space.. the humble storage unit/facility. The keepers of secrets and hidden years of storage shame.
Whether you’re moving house, going overseas for ‘just six months’ (lol, it's four years), merging/downsizing homes and discovering your partner owns another recliner.. or trying to reclaim your living room from your candle-making side hustle (didn't work, but you have candles' for life!)... storage units are the answer.
They’re like the spare room you wish you had growing up. No housemates, no dirty kiddie fingers, no passive-aggressive notes from siblings, and no judgement from people questioning your stuffed toy collection?
Why Use a Storage Unit in Australia? Because They Are Smashing..
Let’s be honest space is expensive here in AUS. Rent is up, house prices are somewhere in the stratosphere that most people need an Elon/Branson space vehicle to afford, and your camping gear deserves more than life in a damp, dark & dusty storage unit.
Moving? A storage unit = breathing room and time for issues that arise.
Travelling? Storage > Mum’s garage? (only if available..)
Running a business? Store stock, tools, even trade secrets, packages - options are endless..
Decluttering? Give your garage and hallway cupboard the breathing room it deserves.. for more "stuff".
Storage units are the adult version of a fancy but expensive toy box. Chuck it in, close the door/roll it down, pop it on your "adult" credit card, feel instantly better.. Out of sight out of mind? Easy!
So, Who Should You Use? Options are ENDLESS in AUS!
Australia is absolutely stacked with storage solutions. Here are some of the big names (and clever upstarts):
🏆 National Storage
👑 Storage King
🟧 Kennards Self Storage
📦 Super Easy Storage
🔐 Fort Knox Storage
🛻 Rent A Space
Plus.. StorHub, Wilsons, TaxiBox, Storage Plus.
We could keep going but we feel the point has been made..
So Who Are Shift Your Storage?
The plot twist: they don’t store or help you fill your storage unit.. they unstuff, empty, etc. They basically make your items disappear in the most environmentally and community driven way they can.
If your unit’s been locked since 2011, they’ll declutter, donate, sell, and ship. It’s the storage exit strategy we all need and have waited for for years..
