Self Storage Tips

A Self Storage Guide for You

Self storage tips from Storage Deluxe have been compiled into a self storage guide for people who are just discovering the great benefits of using self storage. There are numerous times in your life when you find yourself tripping over household or office items, for which there is no storage space. There are many times in our lives that self storage becomes useful and often necessary. These are times when you've run out of space; moved to a smaller apartment or office; been through a divorce; been evicted, etc. All of these life changes can leave you with "stuff" that has to be stored.

When you find yourself in any of these situations, temporary self-storage may be your best option. Here are some tips that we hope you can use as your self storage guide:

1. Check out your nearest Storage Deluxe in person. Take a tour and visualize your unit to estimate how all your stuff will fit in. Visit our online guide or call us for helpful self storage tips.

2. Storage Deluxe provides everything you need for your move:
   1. A clean, brightly lit facility with friendly professionals ready to help you
   2. Moving carts and dollies
   3. Free pick up from you to us

3. At Storage Deluxe all our self storage units have true climate control. Avoid mold and mildew on your furniture or old photographs. Even stereo equipment does not do well in extreme temperatures.

4. Make a list of what you want to store and bring it with you to a self-storage facility. This will enable them to estimate the proper amount of storage space you will need and which insurance option is best for you.

5. Carefully wrap and place your items in cartons with proper padding to avoid breakage. Avoid plastic garbage bag storage which may result in mildew.

6. Make a detailed list of the items you are placing in storage.

7. Use a personal lock with either a cylinder or disk to secure your unit. Have extra keys made and put in a safe place. Locks are available at every Storage Deluxe facility.

8. Do not store:
   1. Perishables like food
   2. Flammable items
   3. Pets (Yes, people have tried this!)

9. Don't worry. Storage Deluxe backs up its service promise with a money back guarantee.
