Is it cheaper for me to store at your facility than to buy or hire a container for my own property?
Sunshine Self Storage, located in Albion. Drive-up 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers, open 5am to 9pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
It depends on how long you need it and how much room you have, and we will be frank about it. If you have plenty of space, need storage for many years, and are happy to handle the rest yourself, buying a container for your own property can work out cheaper over time.
But the price of the box is only part of it. Buying means paying for delivery by tilt tray or crane, finding a flat spot with room for a truck, and possibly getting council approval. Then you have to secure it yourself, insure it, maintain it, and pay again to remove or sell it when you are done. Hiring a container for your property also usually means paying delivery and pick-up on top of the hire fee.
At Sunshine Self Storage, none of that is your problem. You get a watertight container in a fenced yard with a card-access gate, back-to-base alarms and cameras monitored 24/7, and an anti-theft lockbox for your padlock. There is nothing to deliver, no council to deal with, and your driveway stays clear. When you are done, you give 30 days' notice and walk away.
Our prices are $198 (10ft), $299 (20ft) and $580 (40ft) a month, with 50% off your first three months for a limited time. Get quotes for buying, compare honestly, and call us on 03 9010 6147 if you want to talk it through.
