Storage Services

Containerised, Inventoried
& Monitored

Our storage facilities in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban use a containerised system that keeps your belongings sealed in their own individual unit. You pay only for the containers you occupy, no wasted floor space, no shared access. Every facility is secured with electrified perimeter fencing, a monitored alarm system and 24-hour on-site security.

Inventory & Assessment

A supervisor catalogues every item being placed into storage. Furniture is listed by type and condition, boxes are numbered by contents. This inventory becomes your official record and insurance reference for the duration of storage.

Blanketing & Loading

Upholstered furniture and finished surfaces are wrapped in protective blankets before being loaded into your designated container. Items are arranged to maximise space and minimise movement, nothing shifts once the door is sealed.

Sealed & Secured

Your container is closed, sealed and placed inside our warehouse under 24-hour CCTV surveillance and armed response. Access is restricted to authorised personnel only. The container remains untouched until you request release or retrieval.

Access & Release

Need something from storage? With reasonable notice, we locate your container and make specific items available. When you're ready for full release, we schedule delivery on your timeline. A restacking fee applies if partial retrieval is needed mid-term.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

No Confidential Documents

Motor licences, identity documents, insurance policies and passports should not be placed into storage. Keep these with you at all times.

Flag Large Items Early

If you know certain items will be needed during the storage period, let us know in advance. We'll position them for easy access without needing to unstack the full container.

Partial Retrieval Costs

Selecting specific items from a sealed container requires unstacking, locating and restacking the remaining goods. A handling fee applies each time this is requested.

Keep Us Updated

If your address, phone number or email changes while goods are in storage, notify us immediately. We also require adequate notice before scheduling a full release from storage.

Storage Questions

How our storage works, and how we keep your belongings safe.

Traditional storage keeps your goods in our secure facility, ideal when you need space managed entirely by us. Simply Store delivers a mobile storage unit (MSU) to your door so you can load it yourself, lock it with your own padlock, and we transport it to storage. Both are available at all three branches.

All premises are surrounded by electric fencing with 24-hour on-site security, full surveillance camera coverage and controlled gate access. Everything is stored indoors and regularly treated for pests.

Yes. You can access your goods during office hours (Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm) at no additional charge. We simply ask for 24 hours' notice so your items are ready when you arrive.

Yes. Whether you need storage for a few weeks between homes or for months at a time, we accommodate both short- and long-term arrangements for household and business clients.

With Simply Store you only pay for the number of units you actually fill, so there's no wasted space. Costs depend on volume and duration, request a free quote and we'll give you a clear estimate.

Need to Store for a While?

Tell us what you're storing, how long you need it kept and which branch is closest. We'll calculate the container count and send you a fixed monthly rate.
