Moving can be a daunting task, but with the right preparation, it can be a seamless experience. Once you have your boxes ready and are set to bring them to StoreSmart Self-Storage, you can enjoy the simplicity, security, convenience, and flexibility that our facilities offer. Here’s a checklist to ensure a smooth transition into your new storage unit:
1. Prepare Your Boxes and Items
- Label Everything: Clearly mark each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make it easier to find items later.
- Protect Fragile Items: Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or old blankets to safeguard delicate items during the move.
2. Secure Your Storage Unit
- Choose the Right Unit Size: Assess your needs and select a unit that can accommodate all your belongings without overcrowding.
- Lock and Key: Make sure you have a sturdy lock for your unit. StoreSmart offers various options for secure storage, but bringing your own can add an extra layer of security.
3. Understand StoreSmart’s Policies
- Know Your Access Hours: Familiarize yourself with the access hours to your storage unit to ensure you can retrieve items when needed.
- Payment and Lease Terms: Review your payment schedule and lease agreement to avoid any surprises.
4. Packing and Loading Tips
- Utilize Vertical Space: Stack boxes to maximize storage space. Use larger boxes for lightweight items and smaller boxes for heavier items.
- Create a Path: Keep a clear walkway in your unit for easy access to items in the back.
5. Move-In Day Essentials
- Bring Moving Supplies: Have extra boxes, tape, scissors, and markers on hand for last-minute packing.
- Transportation: Arrange for a vehicle that can handle your boxes efficiently. If you need assistance, StoreSmart can recommend local moving services.
6. Ensure Personal Security
- Use Personal Insurance: Check if your renters or homeowners insurance covers items in storage. If not, consider purchasing coverage for your belongings.
- Keep Important Items Separate: If you have items you might need quick access to, keep them in a clearly marked box at the front of your unit.
7. Stay Organized
- Create an Inventory List: Keep a written or digital record of everything you store. This will help you track your belongings and simplify retrieval.
- Regularly Check on Your Unit: If you’re using the unit long-term, plan regular visits to reorganize and check on your items.
8. Enjoy Your Storage Experience
- Take Advantage of StoreSmart Amenities: Utilize any available features like climate control, 24-hour security, and customer support to enhance your storage experience.
- Connect with Staff: If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the friendly StoreSmart team.
