West Melton is one of Selwyn’s fastest-growing communities, full of new builds, lifestyle blocks, and rural-residential sections. Storage2u suits exactly that mix. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your West Melton property, you load it on your own timeline, and we transport it back to our 24/7 monitored depot in Upper Riccarton until you need it again.
Most West Melton storage we handle involves either a new build delay, between-property moves on a lifestyle block, or seasonal equipment that does not need to live in the shed all year. The mobile model fits because the truck comes to your block on the day you choose, and you load at the pace of an ordinary weekend rather than racing a depot clock.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for households and small farms, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that a damp Selwyn winter drives into bare steel. For West Melton furniture stored during a long new-build delay, that protection prevents the kind of damp damage that ruins fabric and timber.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their Upper Riccarton depot, an easy run out West Coast Road. They have been serving Selwyn since 2011. There are no third-party drivers and no call centres. Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse once your unit reaches the depot.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your West Melton property. We position the unit on the driveway, alongside the shed, or wherever access is easiest, so loading is on your timeline.
Step 2
When you are ready, we collect the loaded unit and transport it back to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor depot in Upper Riccarton. Store it for a season, the length of the build, or longer.
Step 3
When the new place is ready or your plans firm up, just give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated West Melton or wider Canterbury address so you can unpack in your own time.
