Frequently Asked Questions... about Sea Container Removal Australia
How much notice do I need to give if I want to move house with one of your containers?
Always try to give us as much forward notice as you can. We can generally arrange most relocations, though if you book your container 7 days in advance of when you need it.
What size container will I need to move the contents of my house?
A 20 foot sea container removal Australia will generally accommodate the contents of an average 3 bedroom house or a small 4 bedroom house. We recommend that if you are in doubt, make a list of your furniture etc and estimate how many boxes you will fill then call us. We will calculate your approximate volume over the phone and provide advice as to which container you should hire or buy.
Can I inspect the container before I buy it?
Whenever possible we encourage that. Many of our containers are stored in large container parks and general access by the public is not permitted for safety reasons. In those circumstances we accurately describe and guarantee the container that we are offering for sale. We can sometimes also provide photos.
