Communication Is Key

S.Hay -Homebush.

All things in life can be made easier with effective communication. The experience of moving and storing your home or business is certainly no exception. Having an active dialog with your storage provider can offer you a wealth of opportunity to not only save you some time and money but take a lot of the stress and head ache out moving and storing both short and long term. 

As the manager of a self storage facility myself I can tell you. IT’S OUR JOB TO HELP YOU. In this day in age, it can be second nature to hold everything close to you chest, to not ask questions or ask for advice.

Always remember that a storage facility is a thriving hub of business networking. Don’t know how you’re going to move? Want to do it yourself? Any good storage provider will have contacts to help you with suburb to suburb, interstate and international removals. Why not pick the brain of an industry expert that knows what to do and has seen what happens when people get it wrong. 

So, you’ve just moved into you new home and it needs some work done to it. Well we just so happen to know builders, plumbers, painters, landscapers you name it. Are you ready to move out? Do you need to organise tipping, document destruction or a truck to help you move? 

Let us know, we can help. 

In these times of economic uncertainty storage could seem like a costly endeavour. As the months potentially become a year you may ask yourself the question. Can I afford to pay XYZ each month? 

Let me ask you this. Before you even move in do you really need that much space? Why not seek some advice and get the right space form the start? 

After the months/year/years of storing, have you thrown out items, are there items in storage that you no longer have need for could you sell some items or give some to charity? 

Is there a chance that you no longer need a space that big? You could very well save a bundle every month by downsizing. 

We can help you organise these things and let you know just how much space you really need.

In summery there are no silly questions just silly people that don’t ask them. As I said before. In the end, it’s our job to help you.

Ash's Organised Storage Tip

Someone once told me that one of the top five most stressful things that you will ever do in life is moving house, whether it is for good or for bad reasons. As a self-storage store manager I have seen the good, the bad, and the downright ugly when it comes to moving. Of all my years of experience, the biggest piece of advice I could give anyone who is embarking on this journey is to BE ORGANISED!

Whether you are doing the move yourself or arranging professional help, it is fundamentally important to take the time to plan and pack wisely. In turn this will save you the stress headaches and potentially a lot of your hard earned cash. If you arrange to pack your goods properly using all the correct packing materials and organise your transportation early, you will avoid the three biggest ‘FAILS’ in moving; broken/damaged goods, exorbitant transport costs and last but not least, a mammoth task of sorting and cleaning afterwards.

Moving house should be a positive experience, as change is the only constant in life. So remember BE SMART! BE ORGANISED!
