Container Reefer Surcharge 

For some small business owners, a converted shipping container can provide the physical space they need to either start or expand their business. One of the biggest barriers to entry for many Aussies is not a lack of ideas, planning or business savvy but the cost of renting or owning commercial property. The ever-increasing real estate market is pricing many citizens out of home ownership and basic shelter.      

You can choose to make your container as simple or complex as you like. Prices depend on the accessories and modifications you choose, so we can work within your budget. We can create a basic design with all the essentials, or go all out and add every perfect touch to the space. By being selective of what you want to add (or not add) to your container, you can save or spend money as you see fit.

Load it Yourself: The Easiest Way to Move

There are a few downsides to using more traditional moving companies, aside from the seemingly ever-increasing prices. You have to be ready according to the company’s schedule and timelines with very little flexibility.With our ‘load it yourself’ removal service, you have control over when your belongings are packed and transported. This means you won’t have to move everything in one day or wait for us to unpack everything at the destination.

Once everything is packed up and ready to go, we’ll pick up the container and deliver it straight to your new home. Easy as that!

You can take your time and even set up your new house as you go. Plus, when you’re finally done, our team will come to pick up the container so that you don’t have to lift a finger. Best of all, it’s very affordable–it’ll only cost a couple of dollars each day.  

The cost of renting a container 

Hiring a shipping container from us costs less than buying a cup of coffee each day. You can get started for as little as $3.25 per day! We challenge you to find another storage company that can give you such an amazing deal. One of the best advantages of our company is that we deliver the container straight to you. You can then access your belongings any time, day or night. If you accidentally pack something that you need now, it’s not a problem. You also don’t have to go through the process and pain of moving everything into a storage facility and only being able to access your things on their terms and time frames.If you’re looking for reliable storage solutions in Australia, look no further than Shipping Containers Mackay.   

Shipping Container Delivery    

While there are few restrictions on hiring a shipping container, it’s always beneficial to confirm with your local council in case they have enacted any regulations regarding the use of containers for a specific duration or if they need the same DA approvals as building a shed.  

Before the shipping container arrives, you’ll need to pick a level spot for it and have footings ready if you want the container raised off of the ground. We know that everyone’s land and property is different, so we make sure to send experienced members of our team who are good at problem-solving and guaranteeing the container will be placed where you need it. All we ask is that there is enough space for us to place the container on your property.
