Moving and storage go together and they are both very important and very useful when you’re relocating from one location to another, especially if it’s a long distance move. However, not enough people are taking advantage of moving storage. What you may not know is that moving storage can complement your move and even make it easier. Moving out of Southern California?

Buy time while you find the right mover
Not everyone has a mover on their speed dial such that they can summon them right when they need to move. Sometimes we get clients who have been waiting for weeks to get the right moving partner. But what does one do when they need to vacate their current residence and haven’t found their long distance mover yet? That’s right; you simply put your furniture in storage until you have the right people for the job. Doing so saves you from compromising your move via hiring any mover that comes your way.
Pack in advance and keep your furniture in storage
You do not have to pack your furniture on the very day of the move. And even though professional movers can do all that for you, moving storage gives you the extra option to pack slowly over time and put all your items in storage. This is ideal if you need to sort and arrange your belongings in a systematic way. Some great applications for this include estate division and commercial moves.
Sort your belongings and shelve what you don’t need in storage
When it comes time to move many people get a chance to see just how much clutter they have been harboring in their homes. It’s a fantastic opportunity to do a cleanup and get rid of clothes, furniture, appliances, toys, and other items that you don’t need. And if you’re not sure at this time what to do with all the items you have set aside, you can simply put them in storage for the time being. Later you can sell or give them away to charity.
Consolidate all your furniture and transport it as one
A good number of clients choose to buy new furniture around the same time when they are moving, or immediately after they have moved. This is especially true if they are moving to a larger house. To save on costs, you can buy your new furniture in advance, put it in storage and then consolidate it when moving day comes so that it can all be transported together in one go. It’s likely to be cheaper and easier this way.
Keep your furniture locked up until the new house is ready to move into
What happens if you have to get of out of your current house but the new place is not yet ready? Could be the new place is undergoing renovation works or maybe the current occupants haven’t moved out yet. Thanks to storage, you can stash your furniture safely and rent accommodation for a few days as you prepare to move.
