Prepare Your Move
1. Plan Ahead: Start planning your move well in advance to ensure everything goes smoothly. Research portable storage options early and book your containers or cubes ahead of time to secure your preferred delivery dates.
2. Declutter Before Packing: Before you start packing, take the time to declutter your belongings. Donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need or use. This will help you save space in your portable storage unit and make unpacking easier at your new location.
3. Pack Strategically: When packing your belongings for storage, be strategic about how you organize items within your containers or cubes. Place heavier items at the bottom and fragile items on top, and use padding or blankets to protect delicate belongings during transport.
4. Label Everything: Clearly label each box or container with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make it easier to find specific items when you need them and streamline the unpacking process later on.
5. Take Inventory: Create an inventory list of everything you're putting into storage. This will help you keep track of your belongings and ensure nothing gets lost or misplaced during the moving process.
6. Opt for Portable Storage: Consider using portable storage solutions like Speedy Cubes for added convenience and flexibility. Portable storage units can be delivered directly to your doorstep, making loading and unloading a breeze, and can be kept on-site for easy access to your belongings.
7. Choose a Secure Location: If storing your belongings off-site, choose a secure storage facility with features like surveillance cameras, gated access, and climate control to ensure your items are safe and protected.
8. Access Your Storage Unit Regularly: If possible, visit your storage unit periodically to check on your belongings and retrieve any items you may need. This will help you stay organized and ensure everything remains in good condition while in storage.
