Storage2u is based in Upper Riccarton. The storage depot is here, the truck is here, and Sue and Paul live and work here. If you are searching for self storage in Upper Riccarton, you are looking for your most local option. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Upper Riccarton address, you load it on your own schedule, and we move it the short distance back to our 24/7 monitored depot.
Upper Riccarton has a strong mix of university students, family residential streets, and small businesses around Riccarton Road. The storage requests we get here cover student holiday storage between hall semesters, family moves to or from rentals, and the occasional business overflow from local shops. Because we are local, delivery is usually next-day or same-week with no long travel charge.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for residential and business use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch winters can cause in a less well-designed unit. Whether you are storing a hall-of-residence move or a family three-bedroom load, that protection matters across a winter.
Storage2u is run by Sue and Paul from this very suburb – the depot is on the corner of an Upper Riccarton industrial site and has been since 2011. There are no call centres and no third-party drivers. When you call about an Upper Riccarton booking you might literally be ringing someone two streets away. 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 Upper Riccarton address. We position the unit on the driveway or alongside the garage so loading is easy and on your own schedule.
Step 2
When you are ready, we collect the loaded unit and transport it the short distance to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor depot, right here in Upper Riccarton. Store it for a few weeks during a move or for longer if you need.

When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Upper Riccarton or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.
