If you’re a resident in the UAE, you’re likely familiar with a common problem – lack of storage space! 

Whether it’s due to growing families, new hobbies, a love for Christmas decorations, or just keeping things ‘just in case,’ space can quickly become limited.

From moving house to renovating or simply decluttering, having flexible storage can make everyday life significantly easier.

Understanding that everyone’s needs are different, we’ve launched two new storage solutions to meet all your storage requirements and give you flexible, secure options that fit your lifestyle.

Choose the Storage Option that Works for You

We offer two simple solutions depending on how much you need to store.

POD Storage

Our POD storage solution is perfect if you’re moving house, renovating, or need to store larger items like furniture. With three POD sizes to choose from, you’ll get a fully managed, door-to-door service, so there’s no need to transport items yourself or visit a storage facility.

Mini POD

  • 104cm (L) x 153cm (W) x 195cm (H)
  • Capacity: Approximately 3 cubic metres.
  • Ideal for outdoor equipment & garden furniture or 30 medium packing boxes.

Standard POD

  • 206cm (L) x 153cm (W) x 195cm (H)
  • Capacity: Approximately 6 cubic metres.
  • Perfect for a standard sized bedroom or 60 medium packing boxes.

Hi-POD

  • 206cm (L) x 127cm (W) x 240cm (H)
  • Capacity: Approximately 6.2 cubic metres.
  • Specifically designed for oversized items, accommodating two king-sized mattresses, 24 medium packing boxes, and 36 small packing boxes.

Once you’ve selected your ideal POD size, we’ll handle everything for you:

  • Delivery directly to your home
  • Professional packing (or self-pack if preferred)
  • Transport to our secure warehouses
  • Full inventory tracking for easy access

Each POD is securely locked, barcoded, and stored in a climate-controlled environment, protecting your belongings from heat, humidity, and dust. Plus, we pack to international shipping standards from the outset, so if plans change your items are already prepared for international relocation, with no need for repacking.

Store-By-The-Box

If you only need to store a few items, our Store-By-The-Box option is perfect for you. It’s a smart way to store those occasional essentials. Whether it’s holiday decorations, off-season clothes, or “might need later” items, this flexible solutions keeps them safe and out of the way. Affordable and convenient, it’s the perfect solution when you don’t want a full POD but still want secure, managed storage.

Our storage boxes are 56cm long, 40cm wide, and 35cm high, fitting roughly the contents of a medium-sized suitcase. You’ll only pay for the number of boxes you store, making this a cost-effective option for smaller loads.

We collect your packed boxes, store them securely, and return them whenever you need them.
