Stress-free storage

By B. Thoms

Having been in the storage industry for over 10 years now, I've seen storage evolve with more facilities implementing new features to make storage easier for our valuable Residential, Commercial and Archive clients. We here at Storage King are leaders in the field and provide simple storage solutions.

Please allow me to let you in on my top 10 tips.

1. Call us, we're a one stop shop that will save you time and money.

2.     We will arrange your removal or trailer requirements, set you up with packing materials and storage space all in one phone call.

3. We offer a free home appraisal service or you can use our online estimator.

4. It's important to use the correct boxes for your valuable goods to avoid damage, call us to discuss or you can find sizes and prices online.

5. We have on the spot insurance cover available for peace of mind.

6. All units are easy to access 7 days a week.

7. For short term storage choose a larger storage space and long-term, the smallest space possible.

8. Pack larger items at the back of the space and as a general rule, boxes at the front.

9. Don’t forget to cover your mattresses and lounge suites when storing for more than 3mths.

10. Defrost your fridge the night before your move and leave Fridge doors open in your space and disconnect your washing machine and drain water out before putting in storage.

Storing does not need to be a stressful time. Come and see us at your local Storage King and allow us to assist you with all your storage needs.

Why self storage?

Self storage is not a product we think about very often. It is a need based product that is only considered in dire/stressful circumstances.

There are many advantages that Self storage offers when compared to removalist storage or Portable storage units. The main advantage is you can visit your goods when you want, at no extra cost. It is a private lock up only you hold the keys to. There’s CCTV, back to base alarm monitoring and pin code access for your peace of mind. The aisle ways are well lit so when you want to visit your storage unit you can do so safely, with some facilities even offering individual lighting in storage units.

The great advantage for businesses that are just starting off is the flexibility self storage offers as their demand levels fluctuate. With low capital/cash flow in the first stage of a new business, the owners have the ability to tailor their storage needs as demand goes up/down. With on site forklifts, trolleys, meeting rooms, WIFI access, and delivery concierge service, Self storage is a very attractive option.

Every day, self storage is getting more and more popular and we all see these buildings popping up everywhere around us. Next time you are moving, de-cluttering, or simply need more space, drop in to your local self storage centre and see what they have to offer!
