If statistics are to be believed, we Americans move around far greater than most other folks do the world over. The moving here implies relocation or what some would call migration. Our migration patterns usually point to interstate migrations and at times moving to another country. Moving interstate means traveling by road, but if we have to move to another country, air travel or sea travel are usually the only options. In either case, the move involves moving not only yourself but also your possessions.
So what do you do when planning a move? You may call a traditional trucking company, who would arrive at a scheduled time. The schedule often forces you into storing whatever came in your hands with little care about what would happen at the time of delivery of the goods. If you were a bit moneyed, then you would call in a proper Mover and Packer who again would deliver your belongings on schedule. But what would happen if you did not have an immediate place of residence at the new Place? Surely you need to store your belongings for the time being – so what do you do? Worse, if you planned to move abroad, and did not have a place there to unload, you are in for a hefty bill in terms of demurrage. There has got to be a better way out.
The way out is now available in the form of companies who do just what you require - storing your belongs while you move. These new age innovators also allow you to pack in your own time. This is done by a concept called portable storage. These are small truck-sized containers which are delivered at your doorstep for you to pack in you own time. Storing was never made so easy. When moving to a new place, you can also store your belongings in the company warehouse if you wish to do so. Differently sized items can be loaded in different portable storage units thus making the entire process of storing easier. Now moving around is hassle free. Of course, you want to know if it fits your budget. Definitely, considering the costs that you may have had to incur in terms of demurrage or leaving your stuff with friends or selling them, not to mention buying new ones later. And so, using Portable Storage Units is the Gen-X approach to moving in style!
