Storage is an essential element for many types of moves, local, long distance and international.
Relocation services will offer you both long and short term storage for a fixed monthly fee.
Obviously, you want to make sure that your valuable goods will be well protected and in a clean, climate controlled and safe environment.
In this post, we will provide you with answers for questions that you should ask your movers regarding storage as well as with a few of the basic facts about how boxes and furniture are stored and handled by most relocation service providers.
Local and Long Distance Storage Options
Most relocation services will determine the storage charges according to the volume your household goods will require in the storage facility. Obviously, the charges here are based on the amount of space required. The most common way to determine the storage fee is according to a rate per cubic foot.
In most instances, the charges will be based on set monthly fees. In some cases, long distance moving will involve up to one month of free storage.
You are highly advised to make sure that your mover has its own storage facility. Also, make sure that the storage facility has the right conditions to protect your goods.
Delivery from Storage
For long distance moving, taking the goods out of storage represents the natural continuation of the long distance process.
For local moving, the move out of storage represents a second move that will be charged according to a pre-agreed upon hourly rate.
Before making your selection, make sure that your potential mover provides you with detailed information about storage fees, storage basic charge units and re-delivery procedures.
