Boxing clever with your packing is the best way to save money when moving home or putting belongings in to self storage.
Removals and self storage both work on the same basic premise – they are selling space.
It makes sense to sort through your possessions and only move what you want to keep and then to squeeze those belongings in to a small a space as possible without risking any damage.
For a removals firm, less time on the job plus a smaller lorry equals a cheaper price.
For self storage, good packing equals less boxes that adds up to saving money by renting a smaller space.
Don’t forget you will probably have to rent more room in a storage unit than the actual space the boxes take up because you may need to get in to access the items at the back.
Stacking with a walkway in between means you can easily get to all the boxes without having to shift everything in the storage unit.
You also have to consider the stack height of boxes. This depends on the size of the box, how you have packed the contents and the weight of what’s inside.
Lockaway Self Storage has a choice of rooms available ranging from mini lockers about the size of a double cupboard or wardrobe to massive containers.
Drive up access makes loading storage space easy. The storage centre has climate controlled, dry, clean rooms to protect your belongings. Storage units are locked and secure with visitors to the site monitored by CCTV.
Packing is also important, and Lockaway Self Storage sells a complete range of boxes, bubble wrap and tapes for boxing up just about anything safely.
