Looking for self storage in Ferrymead without the back-and-forth of a traditional storage park? Storage2u takes a different approach. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Ferrymead address, you load it on your schedule, and we take care of moving it to our monitored Upper Riccarton depot.
Ferrymead’s mix of older residential streets, post-quake rebuilds, and a busy commercial strip means people here need storage for plenty of reasons. You might be living through a rebuild or renovation, moving between rentals along the estuary, or running a Ferrymead business that needs overflow stock space without paying commercial-park rates. The mobile model handles all of it without making you drive a hire van across town.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for household and business use. They are not repurposed shipping containers. The timber interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch’s coastal-edge climate can cause in cheaper steel boxes. For Ferrymead properties close to the estuary, that ventilation is the difference between belongings that come out clean and belongings that come out damp.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their depot in Upper Riccarton. They have been helping Christchurch residents store their belongings since 2011. When you call about a Ferrymead delivery you speak to the people who will actually drive the truck. Paul is the only person who enters the warehouse, so your unit is never handled by random staff.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable mobile unit and packing supplies to your Ferrymead address. We park it exactly where you want it on the property so loading is straightforward and entirely on your schedule. No rush, no time pressure.
Step 2
When you are ready, we pick up your loaded unit and transport it to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor storage depot in Upper Riccarton. It stays there as long as you need, whether that is a few weeks during a Ferrymead rebuild or a couple of years.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver your unit to your nominated Ferrymead or wider Christchurch address, ready for you to unpack in your own time. Or ask if you would like our team to lend a hand.
