How Temporary Storage Helps When Preparing for a Big Move

No one looks forward to moving day. So what can we do to make it easier?

Well, one of the reasons that makes moving day a challenge is the short timeframe you have to do it in.  Another may be trying to secure the necessary transportation and/or people to help you on the big day.

For sure the biggest reason is the sheer volume of things that need to be taken to a new location when you’re moving house. Like furniture from kitchens, dining rooms, dens, bedrooms, TV rooms, laundry rooms, sun rooms, etc. Then there’s clothing, bedding, supplies, tools, books, appliances, food, toys, bikes, sports equipment, exercise equipment, etc. The list goes on and on!

We have the perfect solution for you–temporary storage units.

Temporary storage units address each and every one of these challenges.

Storage units help you prepare for a big move

• There’s no need to do it all in one day! Whew! Now you can relax. Since storage locker rentals are month-to-month, you can schedule it so you have lots of time both before and after moving day. Beforehand, pick out only those items you need to have with you on day-one in your new location, and move everything else into storage at your leisure. When the big day comes, take your essentials with you and that’s it. Easy, peasy. Afterwards, take your time moving in the rest of your items. It gives you time to sort out what you want and where you want to put it in your new place. Perhaps you’ll decide you like all the new space you have and you don’t really need to bring all your stuff back to your house. That’s fine too, because you can continue to keep it in storage for as long as you like.
• Having trouble getting adequate transportation or people to help on moving day? No problem when you have a storage locker. As above, rent a unit before the big day and move most of your things in when it’s convenient. Then come back to retrieve them, also when it’s convenient.
• Storage lockers will accommodate you no matter how much stuff you have. Even vehicles! Lockers come in several sizes from as small as 4’X7’ to 10’X10’ and larger. Plus you can rent multiple lockers and multiple sizes depending on your need.

Moving is stressful enough. It’s worth it to do what you can ahead of a big moving day to make it faster, easier and less stressful. Rent as many storage units as you need. Ease your mind, and ease the load. 

Now we can say with confidence, “enjoy your move”!
