How EasyStore Mobile Self-Storage Works
EasyStore makes self-storage simple, convenient and hassle-free. No truck rentals, no driving to a storage facility, no heavy lifting. We bring the storage container to you, transport it to our secure facility, and return it whenever you need your items back.
Here's exactly how our mobile self-storage process works in Randburg and Johannesburg.
The EasyStore Process: 4 Simple Steps
Step 1: You Call Us
Contact EasyStore by phone, email or online quote form to discuss your storage needs. Our friendly team will help you choose the right container size and schedule a convenient delivery time.
What happens in this step:
- Tell us what you need to store (furniture, boxes, business inventory, documents, etc.)
- We recommend the best container size: Mini, Full, or PODS
- We provide a transparent quote with no hidden fees
- You choose your preferred delivery date and time (weekdays or Saturdays)
Flexible scheduling: We deliver Monday–Friday 07:30–16:30 and Saturday 07:30–12:30 to suit your schedule.
Step 2: We Deliver the Container to Your Door
On your scheduled date, our professional team delivers a clean, secure storage container directly to your address in Randburg, Johannesburg, Midrand, Roodepoort, Sandton or surrounding areas.
What happens in this step:
- Our truck arrives at your home, office or business premises
- We place the empty container in a convenient location (driveway, parking area, etc.)
- You have time to pack your belongings at your own pace
- No need to rent a truck or drive anywhere—we come to you
Container delivered to your doorstep: Whether you're in a house, apartment complex, office building or business park, we bring the storage unit right to you.
Step 3: You Pack the Container (Or We Can Help)
Take your time packing your belongings into the storage container. Pack at your own pace, whether that's a few hours or a few days.
What happens in this step:
- Pack your furniture, boxes, equipment, inventory or documents securely
- Arrange items to maximise space and protect fragile belongings
- Lock the container with your own padlock (you keep the only keys)
- Call us when you're ready for collection
Need packing materials? We supply boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, furniture covers and more. Ask when you book your container.
Need help packing? Our team can assist with packing and loading for an additional fee. Just ask!
Packing tips:
- Place heavy items at the bottom, lighter items on top
- Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or blankets
- Label boxes clearly for easy identification later
- Leave a small walkway for easy access to items at the back
- Use furniture covers to protect upholstery and wood surfaces
Step 4: We Collect, Transport and Store Your Container
Once you've finished packing, we collect the container and transport it to our secure, state-of-the-art storage facility in Ferndale, Randburg.
What happens in this step:
- Our team collects the sealed container from your address
- We transport it safely to our 24/7 monitored storage facility
- Your container is stored securely in our climate-controlled warehouse
- Only you have the keys—we never open your container
Your belongings are safe with us:
- 24/7 CCTV surveillance
- Armed security patrols

- Well-lit, climate-controlled premises

Customers Reviews
EasyStore™ is proud to serve Randburg residents with convenient mobile storage solutions tailored for the local lifestyle and needs.
I stored with Easy Store for 2 years. 0 HASSLE. Prices were reasonable. The people are friendly. There was once a time i completely forgot to make payment and they were so understanding. They never harassed me, (side note- based on my payment history they knew they could trust me). Im done unpacking my belongings and they are in perfect condition. Im very happy with this company.
They are friendly and efficient. I accidentally paid way more money than I should have for my storage (had an extra 0). I sent an email and it was responded to very quickly and within a few days I received refund - no hassle.
I also needed access to my box - I was attended to as soon as I drove in. The staff is so helpful - always a pleasure dealing with them.
