Does Your Removalist Have Ties With Local Storage Companies

If all your moving schedules line up perfectly, you don’t need to worry about storage of your possessions and can directly transport the items as you leave your old home. Unfortunately, everything doesn’t always work seamlessly; and you need to seek out alternative arrangements for your possessions while you move into your new home. One of the best ways to do that is to store your belongings in a local storage unit until the removalist can transport it.

Why do you need storage? 

You might need a local storage facility to store your possessions for a number of reasons during the move for various reasons: 

  • If you are looking for moving and storage during peak times, your removalist might not be able to give you a date that’s most convenient for you.
  • Sometimes, clients have to move before their new home is ready for occupancy and have to spend a few days in hotels or other rented spaces and it’s not feasible to move all items to a temporary location.
  • The new home needs to be redecorated before the possessions can be moved.
  • You intend to sell the items and don’t want to store them to your new location until they can be sold.

Why hire a removalist with storage services? 

Would you rather deal with multiple vendors or a single vendor during your move? Removalists that offer storage facilities have ties with local storage service providers and can handle all aspects of the interaction. They’ll transport your possessions to the storage facility and when you’re ready, they will transport the items to your new location.

You only have one point of contact and one person to pay. You don’t need to deal with different vendors and schedule everything so you move; transport and storage line up together. The removalist will handle everything while you focus on the move.

Low Access Storage Units

Low Access Storage Units

Do You Need 24 Hour Access to Your Unit?

Storage units come in different shapes, sizes, and with different plans so you can get a highly customized storage service. Most clients don’t study the options available to them and end up paying more than they need to for the service. However, if you take the right precautions and study the options available, you can save some money.

Do you need 24/7 access to your unit? 

Storage units with 24/7 access are often the most expensive option available with service providers because there’s a lot of overhead costs involved. If you want to access the unit urgently on a regular basis and can’t wait until working hours, you should invest in 24/7 access units.

However, if you can wait until work hours and don’t need immediate access, you can choose a more affordable plan. Storage units with restricted access are easier to manage, which is why they cost less in comparison. They’re also quite secure because there’s little to no after-hours traffic to manage.

Factors to consider when you hire a storage service 

  • Space – Book a storage space that can house all the items you need to store comfortably but make sure you don’t choose a unit that’s larger than what you need.
  • Security – Look at the security systems in place to ensure your possessions are safe. Ask the service providers if they have CCTV and other such monitoring systems.
  • Ties to removalists – Some removalists will offer storage services as a part of their removal plans. Check to see if your removalists offer this as that will make things easier for you.
  • Insurance – Make sure the storage company has some form of insurance cover and valid licenses before you hire them. That ensures you have some coverage if your possessions are lost or damaged during storage.
