Absolute fantastic service for our 3bed house move from Melb-Qld. Couldn’t fault a thing. Everyone in the office was so efficient with great communication, everything was organised down to a T. Each time we had drop off’s and pick ups each driver was very friendly and professional just making the whole experience really smooth and pleasant. We… Read more ·  1

loved having the time to pack our own container and loved all the extra things like trolleys, rope and blankets that they supplied which was a nice touch. I can thoroughly recommend Budget Self Pack Containers for your next move!

Sadly they did not live up to the promise. I have damaged goods, the container was obviously mishandled and they refuse to use their insurance to cover the damaged items. Do not use these guys unless your stuff is old and you don't mind breakage. Make sure you have your own insurance.

We used Budget Self Pack Containers for the first time after doing a google search. Our move was from Perth to Brisbane, using a 20ft container. The container was loaded in Perth on Friday, and received in Brisbane less than a week later on Thursday. As well as being a nice clean container, the staff provided regular time updates on both the… Read more ·  1

container drop off's and collection. This made it easy for us in arranging extra hands to help load and unload container, without having people waiting around aimlessly. Thanks

Complex 2 house 2 container interstate move - exceptionally well done – Clarke and Sheree organised the whole complex container coordination, including timing and sequencing, to/from our storage units in Melbourne and then via Sydney to our home in the NSW South Coast. They communicated every inch of the way and resolved any issues such as freight train delays due to floods in NSW. It went like clockwork. The drivers… Read more

of the containers were great people and so very careful with the placement and dropping off and picking up on time and keeping us informed of their arrival. The containers contained all the packing materials as promised.

They have a really professional team of people and agents and a very well coordinated system in place. The pricing was more than competitive when compared with other options. Being able to take our time to load and unload based on our time frames definitely made it a more efficient and relaxing experience and meant we could think carefully about initial placement of our furniture without the usual rush.

Excellent service. Container was delivered and picked up promptly. The drivers were friendly and very efficient, having to negotiate a power line and sloping driveway. Container was clean and secure. We moved an entire houseful from Perth to Drouin, Victoria. Mal kept us informed all the way. Very, Very pleased. Show reply

I would recommend Budget Self Pack Containers to anyone after helping us with our move from Mackay Qld. to Victor Harbor S.A. The BSPC team kept in touch throughout the whole process. From sourcing and delivery of the empty container through the pick up, transport, storage and delivery to our new address in S.A. Show reply

 Follow-up  · Container size 20 foot. As we had no address for delivery while house hunting the container was able to be put into storage. Storage was needed for three weeks until we bought and settled on a property for delivery. We were happy with the storage arrangement and charges knowing our property was secure. The BSPC team kept in touch with us through the whole moving process right up to pick up of the empty container.

Highly recommend this company. we moved from the Sunshine Coast to Perth in March. Container arrived on my driveway and was picked up a few days later. I received an email 5 days later advising me that it had arrived in Perth. I had it kept in storage for 3 or 4 weeks while I bought a house. Everyone in this company was extremely helpful.

encountered two problems that were not related to Budget Self Pack Containers: the company we hired to load the container were not experienced in long distance removals and, consequently, some of our furniture was severely damaged because it was not loaded properly. It is imperative that you hire a team with experience in loading containers for cross country carriage. The second problem was that many white items (clothes, mattress, other items) had yellow discolouration when we unpacked them. We don't know why but put it down yellow dye on the carton branding or from dust encountered on the trip across the continent. So far, we have been able to remove the discoloration on the clothes. Nevertheless, Budget Self Pack Containers was fantastic.

Great to deal with in trying circumstances! – After a couple of frightening (!!) quotes for moving from Townsville to Hobart from "full service" moving companies, we opted for a self pack container. These guys were not only the most affordable, but the support was excellent and always quick in some very trying circumstances. A few days out, it became clear that our allocated time with the… Read more ·  1

container was perfectly in sync with the arrival of Cyclone Kirilee! At the last minute we asked for the container a day early, so at least we had it once the power was gone and roads blocked. It was also a difficult drop off location, handled very well and patiently by the contracted drop off company. The early drop off worked out well (and the container offered a convenient cyclone shelter 'just in case' :-), although packing the container in 36degrees and 95% humidity was less than pleasant. The container arrived in Hobart a day earlier than predicted, and the Budget Self Pack crew were excellent in providing experienced advice, assessing our drop off point, and making sure we did things sensibly! Thanks team - much sweat and knuckle skin was lost, but we couldn't have asked for more from Budget Self Pack Containers.

Great Customer Service, Low Cost, Kept informed - Highly Recommended – When I see words like ‘budget’ in a name, and the quote received was the lowest from others, I tend to be a little nervous, but that was far from the truth for Budget Self Pack Containers. Right from the initial ease of requesting a quote, and friendly non-pushy follow-up calls asking if I needed any further assistance, to the container arriving… Read more ·  1

at our new address, everything rain smoothly. We received an email providing all the details following my booking over the phone, with dates and times, etc, and the day prior to container drop-off, confirming the times the next day. On the drop-off day in Perth, we received a text to say the truck was on its way, with a tracking map, and this was followed up by a call from the driver to confirm. A straight forward drop off by the friendly guys, and the container was picked up same day, and arrived in Victoria 5 days later. On the day of dropping the container off to unpack, we received a call from the driver to say he was on his way, and arrived as expected. We were communicated with throughout the whole process.

We fully endorse Budget Self Pack Containers, and have no hesitations in recommending them.

These guys go above and beyond. They helped me out with a container in an urgent situation, even sourced some blankets and the driver stopped at the depot to pick up a trolley when at the time I made the booking I was told they had neither.

My family and I Had a great experience with the whole process, apart from the weather delays.

Beth and the team did a wonderful job in assisting our move from regional SA to Wellard, WA. They were very helpful and informative with any issues that came up and were proactive in seeking solutions. I am really glad that I had chosen their services to do the massive move and ensured that the process was as smooth as possible. I should of also tried getting my car transported with them as well. 100% satisfied and very grateful. Anita G Show reply
