Why Us

It’s easy to acquire belongings over the course of our lives. Yet smaller homes and increasingly minimalist lifestyles make it difficult to know what to do with these possessions.

What Our Customers Say

Having 2 wonderful ladies from Hire A Packer was an absolute godsend for me. As a single mum with 2 teenagers, I don't have a huge moving budget, but in 4 hours they packed my entire kitchen and breakables, plus most of the lounge room and linen. It really made a huge dent in the packing and I would absolutely have them back.

We have hired the packers for the second time and we love them. Lovely ladies getting things done better than you would ever be able to. Highly recommend the company!

I booked the services of two packers for four hours, as I didn't need a full pack. I have mobility issues and was so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff that I couldn't even make a start, despite purging a lot of DVDs and books beforehand. Natalie and Liana arrived on time today and blitzed through my many DVDs, books, and knick-knacks in a friendly and efficient manner despite the heat. They were also fun to talk to and I've already booked them to help me get started on the unpacking when the time comes. I highly recommend this…

Moving is always difficult. But the team from Hire a Packer made it so much easier. I was lucky to have Vanessa and Sarah doing my packing. They were incredible. Fast and efficient. Highly recommended!

One of the best customer experiences I've had in years. From first contact, to being friendly and flexible as we had to move dates a few times, to providing quality unpackers this service experience has been excellent. Thank you and highly recommended.

I had Amanda and Liana helping us unpacking a mess of the store room today. Such a great service! I wish we have done this sooner. They were efficient, kind and so skilful. In 3.5 hours, they were able to unpack all our kitchen, living and game rooms. They were able to use up the shelvings and tubs from our previous house to reorganise our stuff in our new place, making them easy to access. Our space is now neat and inviting. We highly recommend this service.

We recently moved and used hire a packer. It was a large move for a family of 5 and the ladies did an amazing job. Nothing was too much and they really cared about the quality of their work. Would highly recommend their services.

Hired 4 lovely ladies for 6 hours to pack a 6 bedroom house. They are truly amazing and want to say thank you again for the huge effort you put in today.

Highly recommend. Entire process for my recent move was a breeze, from the admin staff to the packers themselves. This was all handled expertly and at very short notice, as I was only in town for a limited time to pack up. They even arranged some boxes for me, even though that isn't a standard service offer in Brisbane anymore. Genuinely impressed and will use their services again. Thank you to all!

I used hire a packer to pack up my 3 bedroom home and I am blown away by the service. The 3 fantastic ladies I had did an incredible job, they were extremely thorough and careful with all of my belongings and shared some really helpful tips with me. I can’t wait to use them again in the future.

Can’t recommend this company enough! We moved from a small granny flat in Oran Park to a large double storey in the same suburb and had Joas and Andres (hope I spelt your names right!). They were swift, professional and friendly. It was a 35 degree day and they just got on with it. Managed to pack up our whole house and move us to a new larger home in 3 hours flat. I can’t say enough positive things about these guys. Again, they were fast but not rushing, they secured all our furniture and boxes and did not complain…

Luigi and Eberton moved my furniture from my apartment to a storage unit and it was unbelievably hot. They worked hard and had a great attitude. I take my hat off to them both and definitely recommend them. Fantastic job!!

Rob and Fernando were amazing. Very courteous and careful when removing and placing furniture and items at both locations, particularly up and down three flights of stairs and negotiating tight hallways and doorways. Would have no hesitation having them help again in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the storage solutions intended for short-term or long-term?

Our storage solutions are suitable for those seeking both short-term and long-term storage options. However, we require 48 hours notice for access to your storage, making it an impractical solution for those that require frequent access to their belongings.

One month’s advance payment is required, and any unused time will regrettably be forfeited.

Our solutions are well-suited to those that are downsizing homes, moving overseas, or in between properties.

How do I access my storage?

If you wish to vacate our storage facilities permanently, please call us on 1300 358 700 whereby we will book in your collection and removal service.

If you simply wish to access your belongings but still continue to store your items, then please call us or send us an email outlining the time and date you would like access. Please note that we require 48 hours notice to ensure that your storage will be ready for access.

How are my items stored?

Your items are stored in secure wooden modules that are approximately 10 cubic meters in capacity. These modules are locked and are generally stacked on top of each other using a forklift.

What safety and security precautions do you take?

Our storage warehouses use state-of-the-art alarms and monitoring to keep your items safe.

How much storage do I need?

The modules are approximately 10 cubic meters internally. The module’s measurements are 2.6m long x 2.4m wide x 1.8m high.

Your items may be required to be stored in multiple modules depending on how many belongings you wish to store.

Do I need insurance?

We strongly recommend that you take out insurance for your belongings whilst they are in storage.

Many Home & Contents insurance policies cover items whilst in storage, or have the option of adding it as an extra to your standard policy. You should check all of this with your insurer.

If you are unable to gain storage insurance with your current insurer, we recommend contacting CARTS Removals & Storage Insurance for a quote.

What if I have oversize items?

If some of your items are large and don’t fit in our modules, we’re able to store select items in separate storage space.

There may be a small additional fee, which will be quoted upon your items arriving at our facility.
