If you live in Amberley and have been weighing up the drive south to a Christchurch storage park, Storage2u has a much simpler option. We deliver a clean, secure mobile unit to your Amberley property, you load it on your own schedule, and we transport it back to our 24/7 monitored depot in Upper Riccarton until you need it again.
Amberley is the main town of the Hurunui District and sits about 40 minutes north of Christchurch. The storage requests we get from this area are usually rural moves, lifestyle-block clearouts, between-property storage on coastal sections, and occasional commercial overflow from small Amberley businesses. The mobile model suits North Canterbury because the unit comes to you – the drive south happens only once, with us.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for households and small businesses, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that the cool, damp North Canterbury climate can drive into a less well-designed unit. For furniture stored across a Canterbury winter, that protection makes a real difference.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their depot in Upper Riccarton. They have been serving Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region since 2011. There are no call centres and no third-party drivers – the truck arriving at your Amberley address is ours, and Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse once the unit reaches the depot.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Amberley property. We position the unit on the driveway, paddock entrance, or alongside the garage so loading is easy and entirely on your timeline.
Step 2
When you are ready, we collect the loaded unit and drive it back to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor depot in Upper Riccarton. Keep it there for a month, a year, or longer.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Amberley property or anywhere in Canterbury so you can unpack in your own time.
