Storage

There can be many reasons private people and businesses need to store goods away to be used at a later time. Sometimes when moving your household goods may need to be stored temporarily. This may be due to timing and not having located a permanent home in your new city and you may need to store your belongings for a few weeks as you find a new home. You may decide to do some remodeling of your new home or build an entirely new home and you will need to have your furnishings out of the way while this is going on and storage is an obvious choice. You may just need to store items you do not or cannot have in your home due to space constraints, and storage can is an option in situations like this.

An advantage of storing with your moving company is that the company will then deliver your furniture and other possessions when you are ready for them. You will not have to be present at the pick-up at the storage facility if you are moving with us as well.

If the storage is for overnight only, we will usually allow for storage within our truck itself, which is locked and parked in our safe and guarded depot, providing we have the availability. There is an extra charge for this service, and it varies according to the size of the truck. Please check with your relocation consultant in order to determine if this is option is available at the time of your move, and what the size of your shipment will cost for overnight storage.

At the time when you are making a decision on whether to store or not to store your goods, think about the other options that may be available to you. Do you really need all the items you are planning to put in to storage? Can you get rid of any without any regrets? Remember if you are moving, that everything you get rid of now is something you wont have to pay to have moved. On the other hand you may need it someday! Ask yourself some questions before deciding to store particular items or not.

Do I need the item?
Will I ever use this item again?
When did I use it last?
Has it got sentimental value?
If any of the items need repair will you really have them repaired?
Clothing items if you have not use any item will you really ever wear it again?

You may decide after answering the question above that you do not really need some of the items. The next big question is what to do with all this stuff. There are many options available to you. You could throw the stuff out, give it away to charity, or sell some of the items.
