Clean before every move

Why use us

Moving tubs beat cardboard every time

Cardboard crushes, tears and leans. Strong tubs with lids hold their shape from your garage to the truck to your new place.

Stacks that stay standing

Moving tubs keep their shape under weight, so heavy stacks stay straight and nothing gets crushed at the bottom.

A tidier, safer truck load

Matching sizes pack tight, strap down securely and unload fast, instead of a jumble of odd boxes.

  • We do the running aroundWe bring the tubs to you and take them away again, every Tuesday and Thursday.
  • Lids that lockLids snap on and tie down, so your things stay in and the dust stays out.
  • Nothing to chuck outNo tape, no flattening and no pile of boxes to get rid of afterwards.
  • A dolly for the heavy stuffEvery package comes with a heavy duty dolly, so you are not carrying it all.

Better for the planet

One tub, move after move

A cardboard box is used once. Our tubs are cleaned and sent out again for the next move.

Used again and again

Each tub does the job of many cardboard boxes over its life, so far less packaging is made in the first place.

Nothing left over

When you finish unpacking there is no tape to peel, no boxes to flatten and no trip to the tip.

Fewer trips

We deliver and collect on set days, so our runs are planned and efficient.

Delivery area

We deliver across central Adelaide

About a 35 minute drive from the city, and out to Gawler. Drop offs run every Tuesday and Thursday.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot

How many moving tubs will I need?

About 10 to 12 tubs per room is a good guide, and our packages are sized by bedrooms. If you are between sizes, pick the bigger one so you are not caught short.

When do you deliver, and do I need to be home?

Drop offs are on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7am and 6pm. Choose your day when you book. Someone aged 18 or over should be there, or tell us a safe spot to leave the tubs. Bookings for a week close at the end of the Sunday before.

How long can I keep the tubs?

Packages run for 1 to 8 weeks. A custom rental goes up to 26 weeks, which is about 6 months. For anything longer, get in touch and we will quote you. We collect on the same weekday your hire ends.

What if I need them longer than I booked?

Just ask before your pickup day. Extra time is charged by the day at your package's extra week rate.

Is a dolly included?

Yes, every package includes one heavy duty dolly. Extra dollies are $25 each. In the custom builder, dollies are an extra at $25 each.

What can't I put in the tubs?

No dangerous or flammable goods, chemicals, food, animals, or anything wet or dirty. The tubs are not waterproof and are not secure storage.

How heavy can I load them?

Up to 25 kg per tub, and no more than 3 tubs stacked on the dolly. Heavy things like books go best in smaller, lighter loads.

Do I need to clean the tubs?

No. Empty them, take off any labels and zip ties, and we do the rest. Every tub is cleaned between hires with a hypoallergenic, natural, hospital grade, non toxic disinfectant.

What if a tub gets damaged or goes missing?

Normal scuffs from careful use are fine. Cracks, holes or missing items are charged at the replacement price: $25 for a tub, $12 for a lid and $150 for a dolly. The full details are in our terms of hire.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Yes. Cancel at least 48 hours before drop off and you get a full refund. Closer than that, a small cancellation fee applies. The details are in our terms of hire.

Is it really better than cardboard?

Cardboard gets used once and then binned. Tubs keep their shape, stack safely, have lids, and get used again by the next customer. There is no tape, no flattening and nothing to get rid of afterwards.

How do I get in touch?
