What is Selfy?

Selfy is a self-pack container service that enables you to move house cheaply. You simply book a container, we deliver it to you, you load it, we transport it, then you unload it.

Moving house with removalists by default will come with professional loading and unloading of the truck / container by qualified removalists. With Selfy, you take control of loading and unloading the container yourself; we just manage the logistics of moving the container from your pickup location to your delivery point.

Since you're taking control of loading and unloading the container, you will save money relative to a fully-managed removalist service.

How self-pack containers work

Container

You pick it

Choose the container size you need. Either 20ft or 40ft. 20ft containers are approx 6.1m L x 2.5m W x 2.9m H with internal capacity of 37m³. 40ft containers are approx 12.2m L x 2.5m W x 2.9m H with internal capacity of 76m³.

Choose whether you are renting the container for the relocation or purchasing to keep after the relocation (new or used options available).

Truck

We deliver it

Your container will be delivered on a tilt tray or side loading truck to your residential/commercial address. Make sure you have a suitable location and sufficient space for the placement of the container.

We can deliver these units to each capital city throughout Australia (regional areas by request).

Cart

You load it

We’ll provide you with some tips on how to pack the container safely and recommend using industry quality materials to secure and restrain your items as you pack the container in preparation for transit.

Once all packed, you just need to take photographs of the packed container and send them to us so that we can determine the total volume of furniture and items being moved and then you lock the container with your own padlock.

Map Marker

We move it

Once packed, we will collect and deliver your container locally, or you have the option to move the container interstate (metro areas) throughout Australia (regional locations by request).

We work on 14-day transit times from the time the container is collected to delivered. These times can vary depending on the locations and time of year.

Box

You unload it

Make sure you arrange insurance for your goods in case they are damaged in transit as this is not included by default.

Your locked container arrives to your new address for unloading. Overall timings are based around 3 days to load, 14 days to deliver, 3 days to unload. Talk to us today about booking a self-pack container move. Call: 1300 868 825.
