If you have been looking at storage in Linwood and the cost of a traditional facility plus a van hire feels steep, Storage2u offers a more affordable way. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Linwood address, you load it on your own schedule, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored depot in Upper Riccarton until you need it back.
Linwood is one of east Christchurch’s busiest residential areas, with a mix of older homes, post-quake rebuilds, and rental housing. The storage requests we handle here are usually moves between rentals, rebuilds and insurance repairs that need furniture out of the house, and clearouts for tenancy turnovers. The mobile model fits because there is no truck hire and no trips to a storage facility.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for residential use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch’s wet eastern winters can drive into a metal box. For Linwood furniture stored during a rebuild, that ventilation is genuinely important.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their Upper Riccarton depot. They have been helping Christchurch residents store belongings since 2011. There are no call centres or third-party drivers. When you ring about Linwood you speak to the people who will deliver and collect the unit, and Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Linwood address. We position the unit on the driveway or alongside the garage so loading is easy and on your timeline.
Step 2
When you are ready, we collect the loaded unit and transport it to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor depot in Upper Riccarton. Keep it there for a few weeks during a rebuild or longer if the project takes time.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Linwood or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.
