Stockeet

Digital storage from a company built for simplicity

Stockeet runs a self-service storage facility fifteen minutes from Lausanne, in Aclens. Unlike the corporate logistics services that coordinate warehouse moves, Stockeet is a self-storage company: you rent a unit by size, you keep the key (actually a smartphone app), and you access your belongings whenever you want. It is the model familiar from North American climate-controlled storage, adapted to the Swiss market. The site emphasizes how little the company lets get in your way: one description of the experience is "100 percent digital, intuitive et simplifiée," one hundred percent digital, intuitive, and simplified. If you are relocating to Switzerland and need breathing room before your apartment is furnished or your office is ready, Stockeet is a straightforward renting experience with no surprise fees or paperwork delays.

Stockeet publishes its pricing plainly. The smallest unit, the Box XS, measures one to two and a half square metres and rents for 54 francs per month including taxes, with no additional fees. The Box M, five to six point seven square metres, starts at 144 francs per month. The Box XL, nine point two to twelve point six square metres, starts at 252 francs per month. All prices stated are "TTC," taxe toutes comprises, meaning tax-included. The firm emphasizes no hidden charges. If you rent a Box M at 144 francs, you pay 144 francs. No administration fees, no access charges, no climate control surcharges. The commitment is month-to-month: you can cancel, upgrade, downgrade, or change your entry date without penalties, all managed through a customer account online.

How to rent and what you get

The rental process is digital from start to finish. You navigate to the Stockeet website or app, select a box size, choose your entry date and rental duration, and pay through their secure payment system. The site promises you can reserve and be set up "en quelques clics," in a few clicks. Once confirmed, you receive login credentials via email and can download the Sensorberg One Access smartphone app, which lets you open the facility 24 hours a day, 365 days a year using your phone. That app becomes your key.

When you arrive to load your unit, the facility is designed for self-service efficiency. A covered loading hall lets you park and unload directly inside. Hand trucks and pallet jacks are free to use; a 600-kilogram electric lift is also available without charge, which means you can move large furniture or heavy boxes without calling for help. The site emphasizes color-coded, minimal signage to help you find your assigned unit quickly. Once you leave, your smartphone app is your access; no staff presence is required for entry or exit at any hour.

The storage environment is climate-controlled. The site specifies "box tempérés et hygrométrie contrôlée," meaning the units are temperature-regulated and humidity is controlled. This matters for the things people actually store in these climates: papers that mildew if humidity swings, electronics that stiffen in cold, vinyl records that warp in heat. The facility is also video-monitored and alarmed, and it is designed so each unit is private; the site calls them "stockage privé et sécurisé," private and secure storage. No staff has access to what you store unless you grant it.

Services now and coming

Stockeet currently limits itself to the core storage service, but the website lists three additional services marked "prochainement disponibles," coming soon. A vehicle rental service is listed as forthcoming, presumably tools and equipment you might need for a move or renovation. A moving service is listed the same way. And the company will eventually sell packing supplies: cartons, adhesive tape, and cutting implements. Currently, you can only store; the site does not yet offer furniture rental, delivery coordination, or full-service moving. For all three services that are listed as coming, the company has not published timelines.

The site includes a blog where employees offer storage and relocation advice. Recent articles cover choosing the right storage unit size, a complete guide to moving to Switzerland for foreigners (including forms, customs, insurance, and budgeting), choosing a moving vehicle, insurance for stored items, storage as a strategy for e-commerce businesses, and protecting furniture during home renovations. The writing is in French and is casual in tone; the substance is practical. The blog is not comprehensive, but it answers common questions people have when they store goods for the first time.

What the site does not cover

Stockeet does not publish information about insurance options for stored items. The facility is alarmed and monitored, but those protections do not cover theft or loss the way an insurance policy does. The site mentions insurance briefly in one blog post title but does not offer or describe any options on the main site. If your possessions matter enough to store, you likely need to ask about insurance separately or arrange it yourself through your existing home or contents policy.

The site does not describe what you cannot store. There is no list of prohibited items, no hazardous materials, no perishables, no weapons, no large vehicles. For a cross-border mover or someone storing possessions temporarily while traveling between countries, knowing whether you can store alcohol, firearms, or other restricted items matters, but you will not find the answer on Stockeet's site.

The company has one location only, in Aclens. If you need multi-location access or are relocating to another canton, Stockeet cannot help. And while the site is available in French and English, it is unclear whether staff speak other languages if you call the main number with a question in German, Italian, or Portuguese.

Who Stockeet serves best

Stockeet is built for individuals and small households relocating within Switzerland or taking a break from their living arrangements. If you are arriving in Lausanne and your apartment will not be ready for three months, Stockeet is ideal: you store your furniture and belongings for a predictable amount, access them whenever you need something, and move out the day you settle your lease. If you are renovating your home and need somewhere to put the furniture for six weeks, Stockeet works. If you are running a small e-commerce business and need overflow space for seasonal inventory, Stockeet offers affordable racking space without the commitment of a warehouse lease.

Stockeet does not serve large corporate relocations, which is why it does not compete with SaveSpace; it has no staff to coordinate timing and no logistics partners to handle pickup and delivery. It does not serve long-term storage of high-value art or archives; the climate control is basic and there is no special handling. And it does not serve people who need the storage explained or placed out of sight; a smartphone app and digital invoice require comfort with the technology. For anyone settling in the Lausanne area and needing space to breathe during a transition, the straightforward pricing, 24/7 access, and no-surprise-fees model makes Stockeet a natural choice.
