Many people today are in need of options to store excess belongings, whether downsizing to a smaller home, transferring to new location, decluttering to make a home ready for sale, inviting family to visit or just have too much stuff and not enough space.
To get the most out of long term storage, here are 5 tips:
1. Plan ahead to reduce chaos, relieve stress and ensure the process goes smoothly. Keep a list of items you are storing and clearly label each box.
2. Take advantage of PODS® storage containers. These clean storage containers are delivered directly to you so you can take your time packing the container before PODS transports it back its local storage facility.
3. Determine the size of storage space you need. PODS® containers come in three sizes: 8x7x7, 8x8x12 and 8x8x16. A small unit is great for storing contents of a one-bedroom apartment or office, where a larger unit can hold the contents of a larger home.
4. If you need to dismantle furniture, keep all hardware, nuts and bolts in a clearly labeled plastic bag or container and keep with the item for easy reassembly.
5. PODS® is ready when you are. The beauty of storing your belongings with PODS is they can deliver all of your belongings right back to your door a week, a month, a year or more!
