If statistics are to be believed, we Americans move around far greater than most other folks do the world over. In our case, the term moving in all probability refers to relocation or migration, even if only temporary. 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 both the cases, moving also involves moving your belongings.

So what do you do when planning a move? It usually involves calling a trucking company on a tight schedule. In most cases, you end up in a mad rush to store away bunged in whatever came first, little realizing the difficulty at the unloading end. 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? Even more vexing would have been to move overseas with no immediate place of residence, meaning a heavy bill waiting at the airport or the Docks. Obviously a quality solution is required.

The key now presents itself in the form of having companies that store away your belongings till you find a new place. These new entrepreneurs even allow you to pack at leisure. This is done by a concept called portable storage. Portable Storage Units are containers that are loaded on mini trucks and placed in front of your house to load up in keeping with your schedule. By this method storing has become a lot more easier. Having an option to store away your belongings in a company warehouse further facilitates the ease of moving to a new place. Storing is also made easy by allowing you to store differently prioritized items in separate portable storage units. Moving now is a lot more easy and means lesser headaches. And now the big question - is it cost effective? 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!
