Moving Box Hire Ipswich: Reusable Boxes Delivered
Reusable moving boxes, delivered to your Ipswich door and collected when you're done. Move Mate's heavy-duty plastic moving boxes take the place of cardboard. There's nothing to buy, build, tape up or flatten. We drop the boxes off before moving day and pick them up from your new address once you've unpacked.
Why hire moving boxes instead of buying cardboard?
Cardboard looks cheap until you add it all up. There are the boxes, rolls of tape, the time spent building them, and the trip to get rid of a mountain of flattened cardboard afterwards. Our reusable boxes come ready to use. Fold the attached lids closed and the box is sealed, with no tape needed.
- Stronger than cardboard. Full boxes stack safely without crushing the ones underneath, so you fit more in each trailer or truck load.
- Weather resistant. Plastic boxes handle a wet driveway or a summer storm far better than cardboard.
- Faster to pack and unpack. Uniform sizes stack neatly, and the boxes move quickly on the moving dolly.
- Less waste. Every box is reused move after move, so nothing ends up in your recycling bin or at the tip.

Moving a whole home? A residential package bundles the right mix of small, medium and large boxes with moving dollies. Packages start at $150 for a studio or 1-bedroom home, with 2, 3 and 4–5 bedroom options. Book any residential package and you also get $55 of free gifts: a heavy-duty wardrobe box, 50 labels, 50 security ties and a moving dolly. Our guide to how many moving boxes you need helps you choose.
Pack room by room the easy way
Same-size boxes make room-by-room packing simple:
- Kitchen: use the compartment boxes for glasses, plates, bowls and mugs, and small boxes for heavy pantry items.
- Bedrooms: hang clothes in a wardrobe box and put linen and shoes in medium boxes.
- Living room and garage: large boxes take cushions, toys and bulky light items. Keep tools and books in small boxes so they stay easy to lift.
Stick a crate label on each box with the room and its contents, and unpacking at the other end becomes a quick drop-and-go.
Great for renters and end-of-lease moves

Moving box hire Ipswich FAQs
Is hiring moving boxes better than buying cardboard boxes?
For most Ipswich moves, yes. Our reusable boxes arrive ready to pack, close without tape, stack without crushing and are collected afterwards, so there is nothing to build, buy tape for or dispose of. Individual boxes start at $5 for 2 weeks and residential packages start at $150 for 2 weeks.
What sizes of moving boxes can I hire?
Our heavy-duty moving boxes come in small ($5), medium ($7.50) and large ($10) for a 2-week hire. We also hire glassware, plate and dish, bowl, and mug and cup boxes for $15 each, and a heavy-duty wardrobe moving box for $25.
Do I need tape to close the boxes?
No. Each box has attached lids that fold closed once packed, so no tape is needed. Moving crate security ties are available if you want to secure the lids.
Which Ipswich suburbs do you deliver moving boxes to?
We deliver and collect across 56 Ipswich suburbs, including Goodna, Springfield, Springfield Lakes, Redbank Plains, Bundamba, Booval, Ipswich, North Ipswich, Brassall, Yamanto, Ripley, Amberley and Walloon. The full list is on this page. If you are unsure, contact us before booking.
How long can I keep the moving boxes?
The standard hire period is 2 weeks. You can choose a hire of 2 to 8 weeks when you book, or contact us before your collection date to extend. Extra weeks are charged at the same weekly rate.
Can I hire moving boxes for an end-of-lease move?
Yes. Hired boxes are a popular choice for renters because there is no leftover cardboard at the final inspection. We deliver before your move and collect the empty boxes from your new address.
