When you live in Merivale, the last thing you want is to spend a Saturday driving a hired truck to a self storage park on the edge of town. Storage2u offers a better answer. We deliver a clean, secure mobile unit to your Merivale property, you load it at your own pace, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored depot until you need it back.
Merivale is one of Christchurch’s most established suburbs, and the storage requests we get here tend to reflect that. Owners renovating period homes need somewhere to put furniture for three to six months. Sellers staging a property want everyday clutter out of the rooms. Travellers heading overseas for an extended trip need their things looked after while the house is rented out. The mobile model handles all of it discreetly.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for furniture and household goods, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that can ruin good furniture during a Christchurch winter. If you are storing antiques, art, or fitted joinery during a Merivale renovation, that climate control matters.
Storage2u is run by Sue and Paul, a husband-and-wife team based in Upper Riccarton. They have been looking after Christchurch residents’ belongings since 2011. There are no third-party drivers and no call centres. Paul is the only person who enters the warehouse, which keeps high-value belongings out of any stranger’s hands.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Merivale address. We position the unit on the driveway or somewhere out of sight so loading is calm, unhurried, and entirely on your schedule.
Step 2
When you are ready, we collect the loaded unit and take it to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor depot in Upper Riccarton. It stays there as long as you need, whether that is during a renovation, a sale, or an extended overseas trip.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We will deliver the unit to your nominated Merivale or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.

Yes. Long-running renovations are a regular part of what we do. Book the unit for the start of the project, store everything indoors at our depot, and call us when the work is finished. There is no penalty if the renovation runs over time.
Yes. Real-estate agents and homeowners often use a unit to clear personal items before staging photos and open homes. We can pick up the loaded unit, store it during the listing, and bring it back once you have sold and moved.
Easily. Many Merivale customers store while they travel. We can quote you a fixed monthly rate, look after the unit indoors, and deliver it back on a date you nominate before you leave.
Usually yes, but it depends on the property. Send us a photo of the driveway and any low branches and we will confirm before booking. Where access is genuinely tight we may suggest loading from the kerb on a quiet day.
Yes. The timber interior absorbs and releases moisture much more gently than a steel container, which is what you want for solid-wood and veneered furniture. We still recommend wrapping high-value pieces in blankets before loading.
We can lend a hand on request and we can recommend reliable local movers if you need a full pack-and-load service. Tell us what you are storing when you book and we will suggest the right level of help.
Your belongings remain your responsibility to insure. Most home-and-contents policies extend to items in commercial storage, but check with your insurer. Our depot has 24/7 monitoring and sole-access security.
