Frequently Asked Questions
How does a BigSteelBox move work?
A container is delivered to your address so you can load it when it suits you. When you’re ready, it’s picked up and moved to your next location or stored at a yard until you need it. This reduces the need to load and unload multiple times. Delivery and pickup are scheduled in advance.
Can I store my container at the yard between homes?
Yes, you can keep your loaded container at a BigSteelBox yard for short- or long-term storage. This is useful if you have a gap between possession dates. When your new place is ready, the container is delivered for unloading. Storage fees apply while it’s at the yard.
What container sizes are available?
Common container sizes typically include 20-foot and 40-foot options, suitable for most household moves and on-site storage needs. Availability can vary by location. The team can help estimate the right size based on your home and inventory. Ask about current stock when requesting a quote.
How far in advance should I book delivery?
Booking at least 1–2 weeks ahead is recommended, especially during peak moving seasons. Earlier reservations improve the chances of getting your preferred delivery date. If you’re on a tight timeline, contact the office to check for short-notice availability. Scheduling flexibility may vary by area and season.
Do I need permits to place a container at my property?
Permits depend on your municipality and the placement location, such as a street or public right-of-way. For private driveways, permits are often not required, but local rules vary. It’s best to confirm with your city or strata before delivery. The team can advise on typical placement considerations in the area.
