Portable storage is getting more and more popular for big moves. Why is that? Because it really is the best of both worlds: an accessible self-storage unit that can also be used to move from place to place. And without ever requiring you to get behind the wheel of a giant unwieldy truck.
How portable storage units help your move
One of the worst parts about moving to a new home is the stress of packing on a strict schedule. The movers have you on a tight schedule and it costs money if you are not ready. And nothing can remove all the stress from your move, you can make life a ton easier by using a portable storage unit to manage parts of this event.
With a portable storage container, you simply call the storage company to arrange for the delivery of your unit at a set date before the move. Most people hold on to their portable storage containers for two to four weeks, but you can keep it for as long as you need in order to accommodate your own schedule.
The weather-safe portable storage unit is then delivered to your front drive, where you can fill it as you go. This helps you get the things that can go into deep storage packed away way before the actual move. When the real moving day comes, you already have the less necessary things packed way in the back and you can add the more day to day stuff in. Then the unit is picked up by the portable storage company driver team. On the other end, they will come pick up the portable storage container after youve called them to say you are all finished unpacking.
Are you planning a move to a temporary location? The company can store your container in a special portable storage warehouse until youre ready for delivery. Pretty simple.
Long term storage with portable storage containers.
No matter what type of move you are doing, this is often a great time to get rid of some belongings you dont need anymore. But just because you dont have room for something doesnt mean you want to sell it or throw it away. Consider a portable storage unit because Ive found they make much easier.
To use it for storage, simply have a portable storage container delivered to your home, and take the time you need to fill it with your unneeded (but still wanted) items. After you pack the container, they will take it to a safe and climate controlled environment until you need it delivered. Do you need access to your portable storage unit while its stored? Call to have the unit re-delivered, or even visit it in the warehouse yourself.
