STORAGE TIPS
Get helpful, easy-to-follow storage tips designed to make organizing, packing, and storing your belongings simple and stress-free.
1. Choose the Right Unit Size
Start by listing everything you plan to store. Selecting the right unit size helps you avoid overpaying for unused space while ensuring everything fits comfortably and safely.
2. Use Sturdy, Uniform Boxes
Stacking is easier and safer when boxes are the same size. Quality boxes also help protect your belongings during long-term storage.
3. Label Everything Clearly
Mark each box on multiple sides so you can quickly find what you need without unpacking your entire unit.
4. Place Frequently Used Items Near the Front
If you’ll be visiting your unit often, store commonly used items near the entrance to save time and reduce hassle.
5. Protect Valuables with Proper Packing
Wrap fragile items carefully, use padding for furniture, and avoid placing heavy items on top of delicate belongings.
6. Take Advantage of Online Tools
Use online rentals, account management, and bill pay to simplify your storage experience, from move-in to monthly payments.
7. Enroll in Auto-Pay to Avoid Late Fees
