If you have been searching for storage in Papanui and the thought of hiring a van and driving across town does not appeal, Storage2u offers a much easier option. We deliver a clean, secure mobile unit to your Papanui address, you load it on your own schedule, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored depot until you need it back.
Papanui is a busy northern hub with a strong residential core, plenty of retail along Main North Road, and several schools in the immediate area. The storage requests we get here cover family moves, downsizing as kids leave for university, shop and cafe overflow stock, and the occasional student stash during the long summer break. The mobile model means none of it requires a trip to a storage park.
Our portable mobile storage units are purpose-built for household and small-business use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch’s cold winters can cause in metal storage units. For Papanui families storing furniture, clothes, and school gear, that protection matters over a long winter.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their depot in Upper Riccarton, a short drive south of Papanui. They have been helping Christchurch residents store their belongings since 2011. When you call, you speak to the people who will actually deliver and collect the unit, and Paul is the only person who enters the warehouse.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Papanui address. We position the unit where it suits you, whether that is the driveway, the side of the house, or near the garage. Load at your own pace.
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. Store it for a few weeks during a move or for longer if you are downsizing.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Papanui or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.

Usually within one to two business days. If you need something more urgent, call us on 0800 749 722 and we will see what is possible.
