Moving Storage; Moving Companies Offer Options!

Moving and storage go hand in hand; reliable moving companies offer short and long term storage options to help you.

Perhaps theres a gap between the time you vacate one residence for another, or maybe you are building a new home and schedules dont mesh. Its common to need storage for the short term (up to 60 days) or long term while moving, and moving companies are able to provide options for long or short term storage.

Whether you are moving locally or long distance, it can be nerve wracking if you have to worry about finding a secure place to store your belongings. Who can you trust to provide safe storage for your goods? A reliable moving company will offer:

Secure short term storage;
Safe long term storage in a climate controlled warehouse, and
Storage facilities across the country so that you can store your shipment close to where you will need it.

When you call the moving company, they will assign a moving consultant to oversee your move, and this person will arrange an in-home survey at your convenience. During the survey, the consultant will discuss your storage needs with you, and ascertain:

What items you need to store;
How long you will need to store your things, and
The best solutions for your storage requirements.

Options for storage include:

Container storage; your shipment is packed into a container, and the container is off-loaded and stored in a secure facility until you need it, and
Warehouse storage; your belongings are stored in a climate controlled secure warehouse until you are ready to receive it.

If possible, pay a visit to the warehouse where your shipment will be stored to assess cleanliness, security and organization. You should find that:

Everything that is going into storage is well wrapped to prevent it getting dirty or damaged.
Many items will be placed in dedicated containers, but
Some furniture may be placed in special racks designed to store them efficiently.
It will give you peace of mind to know that your valuable belongings will be in a safe and secure place.

To ensure your possessions are protected, the moving company will recommend you purchase special coverage for long term storage. Short term storage is covered by your transit protection plan (up to 60 days).
Choosing the right moving company is especially important if you need to store your belongings, either short or long term. Select a reliable moving company thats:

Affiliated with a nationwide moving system,
Operates with modern, well maintained equipment and facilities, and
Has a stellar customer service reputation.
Then you can rest assured that they will be able to perform your move professionally and store your possessions safely until you need them.

Moving is stressful, and more so when you need storage of all (or some of) your worldly possessions. Put your trust in a reliable moving company so that you can rest easy knowing your valuable belongings are being well cared for.
