Premier Self Storage - Moving Tips
At Premier Self Storage, we want your storage experience to go as smooth as possible. We hope these moving tips may help you:
- Create a list of the items you store;
- Remove table legs to save space;
- Stack chairs seat to seat with a protective cloth or paper between them;
- Pack boxes completely to prevent collapsing and tipping;
- Wrap valuables with appropriate packing materials, newspaper ink can stain;
- Use a quality lock to secure your storage space;
- Use furniture and mattress covers for protection;
- Seal boxes with tape for better protection;
- Label boxes clearly for easy reference;
- Organize boxes based upon potential future need of access;
- Never store perishable items such as food;
- Do not store combustible or hazardous items;
- Remember to drain fuel from gasoline engines before storing;
- Leave appliance and equipment doors open slightly. Drain your appliances so they are lighter to handle;
- Wardrobe boxes — allow for clothing to be hung, saving the garments. Leave smaller clothing items in drawers to save space;
- Use original boxes, if available, for electronics and other fragile items;
- Fill in empty spaces with paper to prevent boxes from folding;
- Property should not be leaned against the walls of your storage unit. If packed items can not be stored upright, place a hard material (such as a board) between unit wall and stored item;
- Boxes should be stacked only to a height where they can be reached easily. Over stacking can be dangerous to you and others;
- Leave an access aisle down the middle of the unit for ease of access to all stored items;
- Insuring your property is your sole responsibility. Check with your insurance carrier for coverage. We are not responsible for damaged property.
