Storagebuck

Storagebuck is an Australian business which offers a Peer to Peer self storage solution to communities around Australia.

Storagebuck aims to help the self storage industry by connecting individuals who have spare space around the house with others who are looking to store their things temporarily. By connecting these two parties both are able to benefit as the Host gets to earn a few extra bucks and the Renter is able to get a far cheaper self storage solution. Rather than going through one of the big chain Storage providers, utilizing community resources benefits all parties.

Right now we are launching around the Sydney area and plan to offer Self Storage Solutions to all residents of Sydney. Eventually we will have listings all around Australia!

So how does it work? For Renters:
1. Use the map or search bar to find a suitable space to rent near you.
2. Contact the host and let them know you are interested in renting the space. (It's better for both parties if you are clear about what type of items you are looking to store and their size, what type of access you will need and when you are available to drop them off.)
3. Make the reservation and enter your payment details. You will only be charged once the host accepts the reservation.

For Hosts:
1. List your space. Be descriptive, ensure you provide accurate dimensions for the space your providing. Use as many photos as you need to give prospective renters a good idea of what your offering. Remember that you can offer indoor and outdoor spaces.
2. Communicate with renters. It's important that you both have a good idea of what will be stored. If they have not provided a detailed description make sure you ask before accepting the payment.
3. Organize the delivery date and time and make sure you are both on the same page.
4. Sit back and watch the bucks roll in! Once you have connected your PAYPAL account, the payments will come through to you automatically, so you don't have to do anything else.
