We have all seen the rise of self-storage facilities popping up in town. They are a convenient option for the “do it yourself” crowd. However they may not be right for you when planning your local or long distance move.
3 important things to consider when making your decision.
1.
Liability coverage. If you hire a moving company to place your belongings in a self-storage unit the movers liability ends at that point. However when storing items in a movers facility, liability is maintained by one company throughout the duration of your move and storage period.
2. Safety: Every self-storage facility has rules & regulations regarding items that can & cannot be stored. Nevertheless, it is virtually impossible for management of those facilities to ensure chemicals, illegal products or even worse are being brought into their facility. Contrast that with storing at movers warehouse where all items are hand carried, labeled and accounted for by properly trained employees.
3. Furniture protection: When storing at a self-storage facility, customers are required to either provide or purchase their own furniture pads & stretch wrap. Such items are often overlooked and seldom factored in to the budgeting process. It is not advisable to stack furniture without protection nor store a sofa without plastic (stretch wrap). While storing your furniture at a movers warehouse, all items are pad wrapped and stretch wrapped FREE OF CHARGE.
We invite you to come tour our climate controlled storage facility anytime at 33 Bon Air Drive Warminster, PA 18974. http://www.mooneysmoving.com/residential.html
