Planning for your next move? Moving and storage containers are the perfect solution for many people looking for a flexible and affordable alternative to the traditional removalist service. They allow you the time to pack at your own pace, and provide long- and short-term storage options. Their convenience and the control they give you can take a lot of stress out of your next moving experience.

Packing

Packing up your home can be the most stressful aspect of moving. To make it as easy as possible, plan ahead and give yourself as much time as possible.

With a moving container, the container is delivered to your home. You pack to your own timetable and to your own standards. You can also take your time to sort your possessions and declutter as you go.

As you pack, separate your items into ‘rooms’ or ‘categories’. Label boxes as you go, and consider packing up one room at a time. Consider also the order you place your packed items into the container to make unpacking as easy as possible.

Renovating

Making room and keeping furniture and valuables safe during any renovation can be challenging. Moving and storage containers give you the flexibility to move items out of the way and clear space for easy access during a renovation project.

You can keep your items in the storage container onsite for easy instant access, or store your container at a storage centre and out of the way. You can also access your possessions while they are at the storage centre.

Moving

Once the packing is done, it’s time for the big move. Simply call the company to collect your container and they do the moving for you. Check that you understand how the moving container is loaded and unloaded between moves, to ensure that your goods are keep safe and stable while in transit in the container.

If you’re undertaking a long-distance move, the items you placed into your container are delivered exactly as you packed them. There is no unloading and reloading of your items at a depot between warehouse locations.

Storage

Containers provide a portable storage option that storage lockers can’t. Therefore your stored items can stay with you, move with you and, or, reside in a secure storage facility. No other storage service offers this sort of flexibility. You’re not locked into any long-term contracts, so you can store your possessions for as short or as long a time as you need.

So, when you’re planning your next move, or need a storage solution, consider a moving and storage container service. You can’t beat the flexibility and convenience they offer.
