Sydney-owned

Why a wombat?

Wombats stash things, dig in and don't mess about. That's the whole business plan.

The short version

We started Wombat Crates in Sydney because moving house here costs a fortune and crate hire prices hadn't really shifted since 2013. Everyone was charging for one week and hoping you'd forget the collection date.

So we bought good 68-litre crates, priced two weeks as standard, put dollies in every pack and started delivering on Sundays, because that's when people actually move. We wash every crate between hires and each one goes back out hundreds of times.

Meet Wal

Wal is a bare-nosed wombat: squat, broad-shouldered and surprisingly cheerful. He turns up on Sunday morning, says nothing, and has the house packed by lunch.

Stash it. Stack it. Sorted.

Cardboard's for galahs.

Two weeks, because moving always takes longer than you think.
