Friends already living in Italy needed their house packed up. Organised Hire a Packer, the team turned up on time and did a great job packing everything. I am now convinced to never do a move without the team from Hire a Packer. All too easy.

Professional service, great value. I was helping my Mum move out of the family home, we ran out of time packing so I contacted Hire a Packer on a Tuesday evening via the web site and was contacted by Tali Wednesday morning. That week, Friday morning two friendly packers were ready to go & packed up the house. Very impressed with this business, thanks.

I am moving next week and spent days on the phone seeking help with packing. Everyone I spoke too said they were unavailable or were way too expensive. I called Hire A Packer and spoke to Stephanie, who was amazing, and she organised my whole move in less than half an hour. She made my booking easy by being clear about the service, options & prices. I miscalculated how many boxes I needed at the last minute, and she sent Paul to deliver more within a few hours of my call. My packers, Suzanne & Judy arrived on time, got…

Efi and Leanne are the absolute queens of this move and lifesavers. They were so personable, genuine and kind in my stress of packing the house to move and then unpacking the house and organising. They worked like two jigsaw puzzles, complimenting one another's work styles and helping each other. They were really thoughtful in the way they arranged the house and you can tell they really deserve all the praise. Amazing doesn't begin to describe the level of joy I had from basically being done organising and unpacking my apartment 4 sleeps after moving. With my circumstances , I…

I recently hireapacker to help me pack my home for a move interstate and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I purchashed boxes as well as hiring a team to help me pack everything. From start to finish, the company was professional, efficient, and friendly. The team arrived on time and immediately got to work, carefully wrapping and packing all of my belongings. They took great care with fragile items and ensured that everything was properly labelled for easy unpacking at my new home. The team was also very respectful of my home, taking care not to…

If I could give this business 12 out of 10 stars I would. Hired 2 packers for 5 hours for a recent move. 2 lovely ladies Leanne & Sara arrived at my house happy and bright. They asked clear questions on what needed to be packed and just got into it leaving me with neat piles of packed and labeled boxes stacked up. There was clear discussion about timeframes and the amount of boxes I had (not enough). I am now at the other end of my move and starting to unpack. Everything was packed neatly and a testament to…

The 2 ladies arrived promptly on time, was so efficient with the way they packed, taking care of precious ornaments, glassware & china. The amount of items packed within the 4 hours surprised me. Very professional, able to pack items securely, yet 45 boxes done in the 4 hours including sorting out from the various cupboards. When finding a item already cracked, broken or out of date checking with me whether to keep, before continuing. My mum's 1-bedroom unit, where she had lived for 25 years, was chaotic to me, but they handled all with no fuss and did wonders.…

I couldn’t be more grateful for the lovely ladies that came to my new home to help me unpack, Sonja and Karen were nothing short of amazing they calmly set to work, unpacking a huge amount of boxes, setting up my kitchen beautifully. I would definitely use their services again, whether to pack or unpack. It was such a relief to have them there and I would highly recommend their services. It really is excellent value for money

The pre-booking experience was helpful and clear with information and expectations, and everything went smoothly with no surprises or hiccups. On packing & unpacking days, it was the most seamless experience - the ladies were lovely, professional, and they took great care with all my possessions. It is clear that the entire team are experts in the moving home process.

From the very first enquiry I sent to Hire A Packer, the team were extremely responsive and helpful. They answered all of my questions about types of packages we could get, and gave us recommendations based on our needs. The actual ladies who came to pack up our house were lovely. We felt very comfortable having them in our home, and trusted them to treat our belongings well. They were efficient, professional and so friendly. I highly recommend this service - it removed stress and emotion from packing up our house while we continued to work, and manage our young…

The ladies from Hire-a-packer were in a word, amazing! They arrived on time and work efficiently and effortlessly to pack all our goods. There is no way we could have done it in the same time. Highly recommend!

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.
