This company give false quotes
This company gives false quotes and will add extra charges without notice. They will deduct money and not answer your calls. Do not deal with them, do not trust them.
June 14th 2022 Update: Very dishonest and bad service
This company is bad. Don't call their accounts department; they don't callback. They promised to refund the money but didn't. So, VCAT I did - they refunded the money quick then.

Over charging and inexperienced movers
The removers took three hours to load my small one bedroom goods - no fridge, no lounge, no washing machine - so there was not much to do. They were disappearing often. I was charged $150 per hour for their sloth. When I had my goods returned - I was overcharged for the rent and extra driving time. Although it was returned to the same suburb. This company is a rip-off and do not disclose their hidden costs. Do not use them ever,

Staff are Rude, Insulting, Uncompassionate, Liars, Thieves and Bullies ***West Footscray Branch
My partner and I recently went through some hard times and were evicted from our home. We had to put our belongings somewhere and used super cheap storage in West Footscray to pick up our belongings and store them at there facility. We were unable to make repayments as we struggled to even survive while on centrelink and paying for accommodation etc we stayed in touch with super cheap and told them of our situation and they called from time to time to see if things had improved and I told them that I would 100% be paying out our fees and collec...Read more
ting our goods some day soon and that our belongings totalled well or $70,000 plus our life was in those few boxes of theres, personal papers, baby photo's/videos, all of our clothing, furniture etc everything that meant anything to us in our lives. When we got back on our feet 6 months later we contacted super cheap to tell them that we were back on our feet and were ready to pay out the entire bill and take our goods back, i was spoken down to buy some wench over the phone who said "your goods have been dumped down the tip" i was in total disbelief" I spoke to my partner who cried for days about losing everything and we decided to look into it further. We went too super cheap a few weeks later and the first thing we notice in a shed on the way in are some of our belongings that are being sold off...I asked one of the staff and he told me that they sell peoples stuff on gumtree and when i made enquiries, the stuff that was on gumtree was in fact mine and was advertised a week after I made the phone call to come and collect our things....so to cut a long story short, we had the money to pay out our bill but the staff told us it had all been dumped which in fact it hadn't and we could have got it back... NOW HERE IS THE INTERESTING PART: I photographed the goods in there sale warehouse and took screen shots of the stuff on gumtree, i then called back and asked them what tip my goods were disposed of and they replied some were dumped, some was given to charity opp shops and some was sold off. I then asked can you please tell me where it was sold off, what tip and what shops so i could go there and possibly find some of my things and buy them back, which she replied to me screaming down the phone like a psychotic lunatic, its none of your business, its not your stuff any more its ours...i recorded all these phone calls where they lied about sending my account to dunn and bradstreet to have them collect the debt etc and when i called dunn and bradstreet they knew nothing of it....the truth is and i regret this so much, i told them that there was 70K in those containers and thats when they saw $$$ and took it upon themselves to steal my things... Now I know that the goods sold by "[name removed]" on Gumtree were only from 1 of the containers otherwise there would have been allot more stuff advertised and my hunch is that the staff at super cheap have got a little side racket going that the boss doesn't know about and they sold off one container to show him that they sold off the goods from my storage and there are still 2 containers there right now that haven't been taken and my remaining items are still at Supercheap Storage and when the heat dies down from all of this the staff will go through my stuff and take and sell off what they like and keep the money themselves.....So I challenge you supercheap storage??? Place all of your goods going out on hold and meet with me in person on site and prove I,m not telling the truth....I,m also willing to forgive and forget and pay out my bill in full if you give me my last two containers still in storage in west footscray.... Hopefully the staff responsible at west footscray don't get wind of this and try to dispose of them out of fear that there little earn has been uncovered and I lose again, but not to worry I have a my own plans in place if this was to happen and I promise to everyone out there that has been burnt by these people that if I don't get back my things that I know are still there, then lets just say, they will be getting a dose of there own medicine.....How dare they treat us like this...Its a disgrace and if there was an audio upload I would upload all the recorded conversations exposing there lies and there unprofessional conduct...Don't use these people, they have no heart and care about nothing but themselves....the date today is friday 10th November, I have emailed the CEO in Sydney, I have updated and replied to there fraudulent response and no one has got back to me...so now its up to me alone to take whatever steps necessary to get justice...Burn in hell you thieving rats...Each and everyone of you will pay dearly for what you have done to us...I promise you that!!!2 comments

Very Very Unhappy Customer
Was absolutely horrified when I finally received my Storage from these guys to not only find that boxes were crushed and plastic boxes were smashed to also find that half of my belongings were missing and some had been repacked into other boxes that weren't packed by myself. On the day i organised SuperCheap Storage pods to come to my house the 2 males that lacked the pods dropped and smashed a whole box of my wine glasses and thought it was funny not to say i was un impressed. When i finally get it and unpack it and find that there us stuff missing was infuriating. Some of the items missing were gifts for my 21st and engagement which can't not be replaced. Very very poor form very very unhappy customer never recommend you to anyone.

Very poor experience never recommend to anyone
We signed a contact for a short term 3 month storage. After first month they increase the price for the rent because some reason such as they upgraded their warehouse which is none of my business. When I asked for redelivery, even I booked one week in advanced but they just change the time the day before my booked date without any call or msg. Furthermore, they didn't even give an expansion about the delay of my booking date. I made several calls to finally confirm the date.

Overcharging, no responses and damaged goods
I have had similarly (to a previous commenting person) dreadful experiences with this entity. They over charge, have increased the fees considerably over a year, quote GST inclusive figures but then add GST to each amount they had previously quoted, take money without consent and refuse to provide accurate records/ledgers (I've had several versions to date, each wrong). In fact, I can't seem to get a sensible response about who is in charge at all.
I received a quote for my goods to be moved and stored. However, at the time of moving, aft...Read more
er the move had commenced, my goods were split into two 'pods', despite me advising the amount of goods to be stored and as one move. I was told this pod set up standard and I would not be charged extra - 'it's just how we do it'. I am being charged double. When the movers removed my goods originally, they were very rough with my furniture. I advised that one particular item was heavy & an antique (solid oak) and would need to be lifted. The two people moving the item simply dragged it and kept pushing/dragging across carpet -even though I was asking them to stop & lift it. I heard a loud crack and sure enough, the leg is broken/cracked off. The item had to go to storage, however, as I was going overseas the following day. I am terrified to think of the state of my goods! I am still overseas and have paid well over six thousand in fees so far. I, too, will have to take legal action against this 'Supercheap Storage' for their fraudulent reckless business practises. I can't stress enough how worrying the practises of this Supercheap Storage really are. They are not at all 'cheap' at any rate!6 comments

Hi Claire
Thank you for taking the time to place a review. Its sounds like you have had a difficult experience. Just so we can try and help what kind of resolution are you looking for?... Read more
We must not that the number of storage modules required to store your things - the number of items you have to store are the number of items and require that space that they fill. An initial estimate is provided to you based on the information you provide, the exact amount of storage that is needed is only transparent when the loading occurs. This amount of storage required would be the same regardless of the storage company you would use. If you would be able to provide some details such as your full name and store that you are storing with to [email protected]. We can work though your issues you have stated around charges, providing a ledger of charges is simple. For any damage that may have incurred whilst moving furniture this will be investigated further once we have your details. Again thank you for your review and we are really disappointed that you have had such a stressful experience.Super cheap representative, if you check that email address, you will find many emails from me. The location is in Melbourne. Many different names have been provided to me as the most senior person ... Read more
including [Names Removed]. I've been sent several versions of the ledger, which demonstrates interesting accounting practises not unlike the GST policy adopted (which is not lawful, I'm sure you would know). I am well aware of the amount of storage that was required, and the cubic metres involved. I advised the person providing the initial quote and queried his recommendations about capacity & truck size etc. I also was advised that the two pods were just your way of doing things but that I would not be double charged. Had I not been misled by this person, and had I known in advance of the extremely dodgy practises, the fact that you are not at all 'Supercheap', the fact that my furniture was going to be damaged without regard, the fact that you say GST is included in the original quote but continue to add an additional component for GST after contract formation, the fact that the fees have been raised significantly and allegedly to cover business investments in 'better service' but services that I was promised already exist when I was looking for appropriate storage options (e.g. CCTV!), and the fact that no one actually takes responsibility and provides a response to legitimate concerns, there is no way I'd have gone with your business. No way.The supercheap representative failed, yet again, to provide the ledger or any other details I have repeatedly requested. Interestingly enough, it did manage to find my contact details and issue a thr... Read more
eatening letter. Amazing that this entity could manage to (ineffectually) draft a menacing letter and locate my contact details but STILL cannot provide a simple account and explanation for the overcharging. I do not believe these few rave reviews (without verification) on this page. It's not possible, based upon my experience. As a consumer, I'd recommend everyone looking for a reasonable storage service to avoid this place and find any other option.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Shonky operation that doesn't honour signed agreements
Have had to report to ACCC and Consumer Affairs after they broke a 12 month agreement and began charging whatever they wanted.
I signed up for a $90 unit fee with Supercheap Storage plus $27.27 for insurance. This was the deal negotiated in March 2015 with their sales rep to continue until February 2016. However, as early as July 2015, they increased this total fee to $143.90 then up to $160.40 in June 2016 without my consent or even notifying me.
The original agreement was to remain in place until February 2016 - I signed up to an agre...Read more
ed cost over an agreed period given the length of storage (over 12 months). That was part of the deal negotiated by their team in order to get my business. After speaking with a representative today, they said the company had emailed me and has record of this however, they have made a typo in the email address saved on their file resulting in me never getting the emails. Also, they will not provide me with proof of the sent items. There is a total of $335.80 in fees charged above the existing agreement which was breached only months after my signing. Further, they refuse to refund the fees, saying it's not their policy to do so. Don't trust them, go elsewhere.1 comment

Will never use Supercheap Storage again
Knowing that the pick up site was not near their storage facility in Footscray I confirmed with S/cheap of pick up and eventual delivery cost. I was assured by [name removed] that they only charge for time at site and not travel time. So pick up and delivery would practically be the same. They certainly weren't the cheapest but it was convenient. 2 months later I asked for my things to be delivered. They charged me a ridiculous amount for delivery this time. And when I questioned them why such an overpriced amount they tried to give me some cra...Read more
p that is was a special I got when I got my stuff picked up and they actually charge for travel time. The "operations manager" called me back and could clearly see I would have not gone with s/cheap if they had given me the correct info in the first place about charging for travel time. Eventually she said the owner would call me back - 1 week later no call. So buyers beware what they say is not necessarily what they will charge you!!!Similar opinion?

I had my belongings in storage with this business for over a year. I actually paid for both removal & storage so when they came to pick up my belongings their employees actually packed my stuff in the crate. I did not do the packing. At one point I showed them my wax pod that I used for my waxing business & told the employees that it was full of wax & to please pack safely & carefully...Read more
