What can moving storage do for you that a moving van can’t? Plenty! Here are just a few of the ways that moving storage is a better way to move than renting a moving van:
* You can pack and unpack storage pods at your leisure, since you do not pay for them by the day. There’s none of the rush associated with packing and unpacking vans or trucks.
* Storage pods, unlike vans, are modular. If you ordered too small a truck, you have to scramble for a second truck or make a second trip. If you did not order enough storage pods, a call to the moving company will bring more pods to your door in no time.
* Moving storage can double as a regular storage facility. With a van, you have to drive your belongings from your old house to your new house, unpack them, sort them, repack some of them into your car or another van, drive them to a storage facility, and unpack them yet again. With moving storage, you simply designate one of your moving pods as storage, and when you call for the rest of your belongings, specify that you want it left at the storage facility.
* If you are not moving directly from your old house to your new house, moving storage makes it easier to hold your belongings in storage during the delay. The moving company holds the pods at their warehouse, and you are free to come and open the pod if you find that you need something you put in storage. When you are ready, you call for delivery, and the moving company brings the pods straight to you. Simple, clean, stressless.
* Storage pods are greener than regular moving vans. Because pods are smaller and better enclosed, it is easy to pack them efficiently, wasting less space in the truck. You can also share a moving truck more easily when you use storage pods. That means less waste of gas, less pollution, and a more efficient use of the earth’s resources.
As you can see, renting a moving van is less efficient, convenient, and flexible than using moving storage. You save time and trouble, and make the world a greener place. Rather than schedule your move according to the moving company’s needs, why not take control of the process and rent moving storage?
