Boxes and Packing Materials

Undertaking a move requires coordinating many things. All too often, organising moving boxes is the forgotten piece. It may be obvious, but moving becomes near-impossible without the right boxes and packing equipment.

 

That’s why we offer our box hire and purchase solutions through our sister company, Hire A Box. Over the past 10 years, we’ve satisfied more than 42,000 happy customers.

Are the boxes new ?

All boxes—both sold and hired—may have been used previously. We use extra strong cardboard and all boxes pass through a stringent durability test prior to any potential reuse.

In addition to being highly-durable, all boxes are taken out of circulation at a fixed stage at the end of its product lifecycle.

This is free if placed within 3 months of the initial delivery date. Additional pickups will incur a flat $35 pickup fee per pickup.

What areas do you offer these services?

Areas we service include all metro areas in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. You can check if we service your area here. Regrettably, if moving to a non-serviced area, only the box and materials purchase option will be available to you. You may however still hire boxes if moving to a metro area that we service in a different state.
