Warehouse Storage Vs. Individual Units: When The Warehouse Might Be The Best Choice

by Erin Mitchell

Many moving companies now offer warehouse storage space for their clients. This added service can be very beneficial for many people. Storage services are often needed by those on the move because it is not always possible to have a new residence ready at the exact time they need to vacate their previous address. Storage facilities make it easy to stay with relatives, rent a small apartment or spend a week or two at a hotel without having to drag around everything you own. While individual storage units are available, there are several reasons why your mover's warehouse storage could be preferable to you.

Discounted Storage Rates

Moving services sometimes offer storage space at a discount to their customers. In some instances these rates are far less than what an storage facility will charge for their individual rental units. In addition, storage companies require their units be rented by the month. Many moving companies will pro-rate their rental fees so you will not have to pay those last two or three weeks left in the month when you need your items now.

Higher Level Of Security

Most storage units have the door to your unit outside where anyone on the property could have access just by getting through one single lock. For moving companies, their storage space is typically within their warehouse where few people have access other than employees and clients with items also stored on site. These warehouses are highly secure, fully monitored and protected with climate controls and fire suppression systems.

Reduce Your Workload

Perhaps you missed it, but this storage facility comes with movers too. Not only can they help you carry all of those boxes to the storage unit, they can help you to pick them back up at the warehouse and deliver them to their final destination. If you are wondering how you are going to organize a half dozen pickup trucks and find at least that many available friends to move all of your belongings twice, call one of these services and avoid that worry.

Obviously every company runs their business a little different than someone else, so it is always important to know all of their policies and read the small print before you sign any contract. However, if you are going to be moving all of your possessions more than once before finally make it to your final destination, you may discover a moving service that can provide storage too is not just helpful, but a necessity. For more information, contact a company like Fidelity Moving & Storage Co Inc.
