If you are planning to move to Northwest Chicago, SMARTBOX Portable Storage & Moving offers a variety of services to assist you along the way.  Here is everything you need to know about how to move using a portable storage company.

What are Portable Storage Containers?

A portable storage container is a standalone storage container that can easily be moved from one location to another. Built to withstand all kinds of weather, these durable containers are ideal for storing belongings onsite as well as transporting them to a different location. They are conveniently delivered right to your home, giving you a secure place to pack and store your belongings while keeping them safe from weather, theft, and accidental damage.

Why Portable Storage Containers are Ideal for Moving

While portable storage containers can be used for a variety of purposes, they are especially useful during the moving process. SMARTBOX of Northwest Chicago offers a variety of services that help make your move easy and hassle free. 

• ●Cost-Effective: Portable storage containers are much more cost effective than hiring a professional moving company. They are available in a variety of sizes, so you only pay for the space you need. You also get to keep the container for as long as you need, paying only a monthly rental fee.

   

• ●Flexible moving options: Since you rent the portable unit for as long as you need, you can take your time packing and unpacking on your own schedule. You don’t have to worry about adhering to someone else’s timetable or getting charged overage fees. Instead, you can enjoy a stress-free move all at your own pace.

   

• ●Convenient delivery: Your portable storage container is conveniently delivered to your home where you keep it for as long as you need. At your convenience, simply call and arrange to have your portable container picked up and transported to your new home.
