Choosing astorage company isn’t something you want to take lightly. It involves packing up all the things you love and placing them in the hands of someone else to keep safe and sound on your behalf. You need to find a company you can trust, which means a company that will respect you and your treasures.

When deciding on a storage company, look for:

State-of-the-Art Storage Facilities

The company you go with should Provide facilities that are designed to protect your valuables. The average storage facility provides you with a chain-mesh cage, a little box with a roller door or, even worse, a plywood box that sits on your nature strip for days on end. All of these options leave your valuables to the mercy of theft, humidity, dampness and even vermin.

Look for a secure storage facility that offers a climate-controlled environment in a purpose-built facility. It should also be CCTV monitored, fitted out with an alarm system and have a fire control and monitoring system.

A Wide Array of Services

The perfect storage company will provide you with a service far beyond simply locking up your Belongings. They will provide you with a free inventory report checks so you know what you have in storage at all times, as well as reports on the condition of your stored items. They should also offer ancillary services such as the option to professionally pick-up and add to your storage or drop off items at your request as well as professional storage packing and wrapping services.

Positive Customer Experiences

Thanks to the Internet, it’s quite easy to see how your storage company has performed. Just jump online and check out a few public review sites to see what past customers have said.

Comprehensive Insurance

Don’t trust a company unless they’re prepared to provide you with insurance policies that keep you covered in all circumstances. If a company is willing to provide you with storage insurance, it shows that they are confident in their ability to look after your belongings.

Multiple Payment Options

A storage provider that demands cash and cash only is a red flag. Only accepting cash shows that they want to avoid a paper trail being attached to your contract, which usually means they are operating outside the law. Go with a company that is operating above board by choosing one that offers you a variety of payment options.

Experience Storing a Variety of Items

It’s one thing to have experience in storing a few boxes with books and clothes inside, but what about boat or vehicle storage, or even storage for a grand piano or an aquarium. You may think your needs are basic but you never know what might pop up. It’s always a good idea to choose a storage provider that can look after all of your storage needs, regardless of the circumstances.

An Easy, Stress Free Process

When it comes to storage, the entire process can be a bit of a nightmare. With self storage, you have to hire a truck, pack and load your belongings, then unload and pack your storage container. It’s time consuming, tiring and can be quite stressful if you happen to be moving house at the same time. And then, when you need your belongings back, you have to go through the entire process (in reverse), all over again. So, if you can find a storage provider that offers services such as storage pick up and redelivery, jump at the chance to get them onboard.
