The ‘Must Know’ in Self Storage and Moving

Often do you see movers take so much time in packing and moving; this is due to the wrong organization and moving techniques. Let’s start with packing, you get too excited moving in or out that you tend to stuck up all your things in one box to another making it difficult for you to find the things you need in your new place. Second is moving, moving on your own is good and cheap but hiring a moving company is better, since they specialize in the art of moving, they are very familiar with the issues you may encounter in moving and can easily find a solution. Then there goes the storage, when you have too many items that you are in need of a storage space, you encounter problems such as damage on your items and even having the wrong storage space. 

Here are some things that can help you reduce the stress of moving in or out.

Packing:

• Organizing your things into categories with labels will lessen your problems in storage and moving. Always keep the breakables away from the heavy loads and keep the chemicals away from everything. Storage for chemicals such as insecticides, bleaching agents and poisons should be kept in a sealed, leakproof box to avoid combustion.

• Know the size of your items. Too much space will just damage your items when loaded into the truck, when the half empty box is topped with one that is heavy, the box becomes less sturdy and thus destroying it and what’s inside.

Moving:

• Always use pallets before loading the boxes into the truck, the pallets help keep the boxes off the truck and storage unit to avoid scratches and damages while on travel.

• Keep the furniture far from the boxes of breakables or pick a moving truck with appropriate shelves installed.

Storage:

• Storage units should be capable of having tight security systems to ensure the safety of your belongings.

• Sealed storage doors and air conditioned storage spaces are the things you have to look for in preserving the quality of your belongings.

• Get a storage space with shelves for knick knacks and other small items and boxes.

• Always store frequently used items in the front part of the storage area to avoid clutter wen searching.
