Crate hire for moving interstate?

So I am packing up my home and moving to Mexico (well, Melbourne)…

I like the idea of hiring reusable plastic crates instead of cardboard boxes.

(I don’t mean milk crates, but secure storage crates)

I’ve read about crate hire services where the supplier delivers crates to your home and then collects them from your new home a week or two later.

Does anyone know of a company that does this in Canberra?

Does anyone know of a company that does this for interstate moves?

Thanks in advance.

My last interstate move (QLD to ACT some years back) involved the relocation of some 1500 books along with the usual household junk. I went out and bought 20 plastic crates at the local junk shop for cheaper than I could hire them.

Also good for those items that don’t get unpacked an live in the garage for three years after you move.

Allied Pickfords in Hume also offer the same service as they own their own crate hire company
