If you are searching for self storage in Parklands and have written off the idea of hiring a van and driving across town, Storage2u offers a simpler way. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Parklands address, you load it on your own schedule, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored Upper Riccarton depot until you need it back.
Parklands and the surrounding north-east suburbs are heavily residential, with a lot of families, growing kids, and the occasional teenager heading off on an OE. The storage requests we get here are usually one of three things: extra space during a family move within the area, holding belongings while a family member is away for an extended trip, or a serious decluttering session before listing the house. The mobile model handles all of it without a trip to a storage facility.
Our portable mobile units are purpose-built for residential use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch winters can cause in unlined steel boxes. For Parklands families storing kids’ rooms, beds, and seasonal gear, that protection matters over a long winter.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their depot in Upper Riccarton. They have been doing this since 2011. There are no call centres or automated booking systems. When you ring about Parklands, you speak to the people who will deliver the unit. Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse, which keeps your unit out of strangers’ hands.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Parklands property. We position it on the driveway or alongside the house so the family can load it across the weekend without any pressure.
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 couple of weeks during a move or a couple of years if someone is overseas.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Parklands or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.
