Self Storage 101: Save money on your Storage
January 27, 2020
Cut down and save money!
We know price is usually a big factor when i comes to self storage solutions so we have some quick tips to help you save money on storage.
1.
Declutter!
Before you start putting things into storage you should really think about if you want to keep it first! It's time to have an honest conversation with your self about that old DVD collection, stack of magazines or those old kitchen appliances that you never use anymore. You could even make a little money here by listing them for sale or just donate to charity. The less items you have to store, the less space you will need to rent!
2.
Can it be replaced?
Now that you have decluttered its time to look at what you have and decide Whether to Store It or Replace It Later.
If you are planning on storing items long term then storage of some of your larger items may not be cost effective. Instead of paying for a larger storage space would it be better to buy a replacement refrigerator later?
3.
Don't rent more than you need
Wherever possible you should aim to rent the Smallest Space you can. Our staff have a lot of experience with customers shifting households small and large. Talk to them for advice on the smallest space you will need to store your items.
4.
Stack it up!
You should try to make the most of your storage space by packing efficiently. It it's also worth using shelving in your unit to get the most of the space! It will save you money by letting you stack items to the ceiling. Just remember to keep your most used goods near the front where you can access them easily without needing to move things around too much.
5.
Review your options
There is nothing wrong with downsizing your storage. Circumstances change and often peoples storage needs change with them. You should review your storage needs regularly and if your unit is looking a little empty then maybe its time to ask about moving into a smaller storage unit.
