Moving and storing your belongings doesn’t have to be a drama. Between all the heavy lifting and trying to sort out the logistics, the usual way of doing things can be more hassle than it’s worth. Throw in a few surprise charges, and it’s enough to do your head in.
That’s where Smartbox comes in. It’s a smarter, more straightforward option for people in Sydney and Melbourne who want a no-fuss, budget-friendly way to store or move their belongings.
By ditching the double handling and scrapping the hidden fees, Smartbox makes the whole process easier from start to finish. No tricks, no stress – just a smooth, reliable service that’s built around what you need.
What is double handling and why is it a problem?
Simply put, double handling refers to the repetitive lifting and transferring of items during a move or storage process. It involves repeatedly loading, unloading, and reloading belongings as they transition between points.
The hidden costs of double handling
- Higher risk of damage: Every extra instance of moving your items increases the likelihood of wear, scratching, or breakage.
- Time drain: Multiple handling rounds mean more hours wasted—not to mention coordinating schedules and transport logistics.
- Rising costs: Double handling equals double the labour, meaning what might appear as affordable storage or moving becomes unexpectedly expensive.
Research shows that the average Australian move involves at least three points of handling, leading to disrupted schedules, frustrated customers, and damaged goods. Smartbox was designed to solve this.

Smartbox simplifies the process entirely, offering an efficient, hands-off solution that protects your belongings and saves you time.

Load once, keep it sealed

After packing, your sealed Smartbox is transported to the storage facility without any unpacking or reloading along the way. You avoid the risks of damage and stress typically associated with traditional methods.
