Other things to ask and consider

Make sure you contact a storage company that is an accredited removalist. This means they have professional and experienced personnel that can expertly pack and load your goods. Right from the start, ask if the company employs its own removalists or simply subcontracts the work out to another service provider. Also enquire about the process involved if your goods get damaged.

Know the type of storage unit being offered as there are a lot of companies out there these days and they offer different types of units – everything from cheap wooden crates or flimsy cages to high-quality custom-built steel shipping containers equipped with tie rails, padlock protectors, lockboxes, and moisture absorbers. Tie rails are particularly important because they make sure your goods stay put during transit, as well as during movement of the unit off the truck and into the storage facility.

Aside from the type of storage unit, you should also ask about its size. This means you need to know the height, width, and length, as well as the capacity in cubic meters. This will help you determine if your goods will fit or you need to go for a bigger unit.

Next, find out what protective materials come with the storage unit. Does the company provide furniture blankets, plastic furniture covers, and tie downs? Does the storage company provide packing materials like boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, etc. to assist you with the packing of your goods? Do they have professional packers that can come over and pack all of your boxes, ready to load and ready for transit?

The answers to these questions are a good indication as to the type of service you can expect and if you’ll get good value for your hard earned money.
