Transfers and job changes often lead to people considering the use of self storage to store their valuable. Follow these self storage tips to overcome transfer blues and store your valuables in a hassle-free manner:
Make a list: Make sure that the storage unit you are seeking on rent is well suited to your needs. Always prepare a list of what and how much you have to store. A simple list will reduce the stress of self storage.
Pay in advance: Due to the various expenses incurred during the entire process of moving, it is not unusual that you fall short of money at the last moment. So it is a wise decision to pay some amount in advance to the service provider of units for storage at the time of finalising its self storage solutions. Your self storage service provider may also offer you a handsome discount if you pay in advance.
Visit the facility: Book your ideal self storage unit 30-45 days in advance and take time out to visit the facility so that you can clearly state your specifications to the facility manager and derive ample idea about the various units available with the provider.
Ask about the vehicles used for shifting: This will help you in coordinating with the moving company. Some self storage companies may even provide this service themselves.
Plan the placement of your possessions: Always prepare a rough layout of the self storage unit and plan the placement of each of your valuables and goods.
Safe storage unit: Make sure that your self storage unit is devoid of rats, pests and other bugs. Ask the service provider for pest control before you put your valuables, so that they are not ruined.
Read your contract: Always have a good understanding of the contract you are signing with the self storage company, so there are no loopholes or misunderstandings after the self storage units have been leased.
The idea of self storage is really helpful for people with transferable jobs. However, you need to plan and prepare for storage carefully to ensure a safe and hassle-free self storage of your valuables.
