Frequently Asked Questions

How do I transfer my stored items to a new self storage unit?

Transferring your stored items to a new self storage unit involves a few key steps. First, assess your storage needs and coordinate with the new storage facility to reserve a suitable unit. Prepare and organize your items, decluttering as needed. Arrange for transportation, ensuring your belongings are properly packed and protected. Upon arrival at the new facility, follow their procedures for unloading and transferring items to the new unit. Take the time to reorganize and optimize the space within the new unit. Finally, update any necessary records and ensure you have access to the new unit. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and successful transfer of your stored items to the new self storage unit.

Organizing your items in a storage unit is crucial for easy access and efficient use of space. Here are five main points to consider for optimal organization:

  1. Categorize and Group Similar Items: Sort your items into categories, such as furniture, boxes, seasonal items, or appliances. Group similar items together to create sections within the storage unit, making it easier to locate specific items when needed.
  2. Utilize Shelving and Storage Units: Invest in sturdy shelving units or storage racks to maximize vertical space. This allows you to store items off the floor, creating more floor space and making it easier to access items without having to move everything around.
  3. Label Boxes and Containers: Clearly label each box or container with its contents. Use descriptive labels and consider color-coding systems to easily identify different categories of items. This saves time and effort when searching for specific items later.
  4. Create Clear Aisles and Walkways: Leave enough space between rows of items to create clear aisles and walkways. This provides easy access to different areas of the storage unit and prevents items from becoming inaccessible or difficult to retrieve.
  5. Prioritize Accessibility: Place frequently needed or essential items towards the front of the storage unit for easy access. Consider creating a layout that allows you to reach these items without having to move other boxes or furniture.

By categorizing, utilizing storage units, labeling, creating clear aisles, and prioritizing accessibility, you can maintain an organized storage unit that allows for efficient retrieval of items and maximizes the available space.

Preparing a mattress for long-term storage involves thorough cleaning and protection. Vacuum and clean the mattress surface to remove any dirt or dust. Once dry, cover the mattress with a specialized mattress cover or encasement to shield it from dust, moisture, and pests. Store the mattress flat in a climate-controlled unit, avoiding bending or folding to maintain its shape and structural integrity.

It depends on what you agreed to in your lease with the storage company. Most places have a policy that says you need to tell them before you move your stuff out. But it could be different from place to place, so you should ask the manager at the storage facility for more information.
