Moving crate hire FAQs
How much does it cost to hire plastic moving boxes in Sydney?
Packages start at $99 for 25 crates and go up to $249 for 100 crates. Every price includes two weeks of hire, delivery and collection within 35 km of Sydney CBD, dollies, cable ties and labels. No bonds, deposits or hidden fees.
How long can I keep the crates?
Two weeks is included. Extra weeks are $20 per 25 crates. Message us before your collection date and we'll move it.
Do you deliver on weekends and Sundays?
Yes. Seven days including Sundays: 7am–7pm weekdays, 8am–5pm weekends. Pick a two-hour window at checkout.
Which Sydney suburbs do you deliver to?

Are plastic moving crates cheaper than cardboard boxes?
Usually. Fifty new heavy-duty cardboard boxes cost about $150–$250 plus tape and are single-use. Our 50-crate pack is $149 delivered, no tape, stacks on a dolly, and we collect it.
How big are the crates and how much do they hold?
68 litres, about 60 × 40 × 36 cm, hinged attached lid that cable-ties shut. Safe to 20 kg. Stack full, nest empty. Roughly a large cardboard moving box.
What if a crate is lost or damaged?
Normal wear is fine. Lost or wrecked crate $25, lost dolly $50. No cleaning fee unless it comes back with paint, oil or adhesive.
Are the crates clean?
Every crate is pressure-washed and sanitised with food-grade disinfectant between hires and arrives cable-tied with a fresh label pocket.
Why a wombat?
We're Sydney-owned and we started Wombat Crates because moving house here costs a fortune. Removalists went up, rent went up, and somehow crate hire prices hadn't really moved since 2013. So we bought good crates, kept the fleet clean, and priced two weeks the way everyone else prices one.
Wombats stash things, dig in and don't mess about. Neither do we. You get clean crates in a two-hour window, dollies that actually roll, and a pick-up from the new place when you're finished.
