SK Camperdown West
Since
joining this company 5 years ago, this was the first time I had the opportunity
to be on the other side of the Storage King desk - a storer. It all started
when my partner and I decided to move house. For anyone that's moved house - it
is very much like the gift that never stops taking!
In
between moving out of 1 house and moving into the new one, there was
about a month gap. So I said to my partner “Hey let’s move the stuff into
storage and move into my parents for a month” (it sounded like it was going to
be easy at the time - how wrong I was!). I really wanted to experience storage
from a customer’s point of view. So I did the whole walk in the facility on my
day off and got Jack my colleague to show me around. I even asked a few
questions for my part. After looking at a few units we decided to go with a
13sqm unit.
You
actually don't realise just how handy tea chest and crystal boxes are until you
start packing. But a special mention must go for the port-a-robe box. We saved
so much time and space by not having to fold clothes (or in my partner's case -
not having to chuck it into a box!). Later when we needed to get to the clothes
all we had to do is go to the storage unit and open the box.
Sometimes
we forget just how much stress our customers are under when they come to us.
The morning of the move at 8.30am the removalists called and said they were
15mins away, we started going through all the things we had to move and going
through the cupboards making sure we had not missed anything. Then it occurred
to me that I have more things than I had anticipated - and so we hurriedly
tried to repack and reorganise - all the on the fly!
