Sometimes you need to protect your things from the weather inĀ mini storage . It makes sense that you do not want your stored goods to be exposed to rain, sleet, or snow because these things are detrimental to all just about everything. Some facilities even offer covered parking spaces to help protect vehicles and boats from the elements as well.

Never pretend to be a one of the self organizers if you are not good at organizing. It will not be beneficial to anyone. Let the moving and storing organizers do there job. If you are good at organizing you will find that you help make a move easier and much more efficient. There are pros and cons to both.

When calling around and finding prices for storage many callers are simply focused on the main details. PRICE. Not many consider the other things involved with the process. It is a good idea whenever possible to bring these other details in to their thought process. Try mentioning truck rentals if the facility has them available. Most facilities sell moving boxes so it is always a good idea to mention these.

Being on the opposite end of a storage call is a pleasant change. It is quite fun to pretend to be the caller after taking hundreds of storage calls yourself. There are many small things I get a kick out of doing since I'm the caller and not the callee. One thing I love to do is interrupt in the middle to ask a question that they will inevitably get to, like access hours or security features. It is a pleasant change of pace to ask, How much are your storage rooms ? instead of saying I can certainly help you out with that.

My second job has about fifty pianos of various designs and sizes in storage. Everthing from a little spinnet to full grand pianos. They are all in various degrees of disrepair, some we will actually be dropping off at the dump, but the majority are being moved to our brand new climate controlled industrial sized storage space.

 

I am excited to finally have the pianos in a space where we will actually be able to reach them, and they will not have to be packed so tightly. This will make things a lot easier for the movers as well as the piano repairmen. I am looking forward to the added efficiency this new state of the art storage unit will provide.
