When it comes to moving, you have three primary options to consider: hiring professional movers, renting a moving truck, or using a portable storage company. While there are certainly pros and cons to each, there are some benefits that you only get with a portable storage company. Here we will take a closer look at some of the issues that can only be resolved with the help of portable storage.
1- Scheduling Conflicts
Many people who are moving might be on a tight schedule and need to work within the confines of specific dates. Unfortunately, this can cause problems when you are working with professional movers who might not be available on the date you need them. This can cause you to have to push back closing dates and rearrange moving plans in some cases. Likewise, renting a truck can be difficult during peak season as well as on weekends and during long holiday weekends. It can be quite a challenge to book a truck during these popular moving times. Portable storage containers, on the other hand, are available when you need them. They are delivered directly to your door and then they can be transported to your new home upon your request.
2-Feeling Rushed
Moving is a stressful time and the pressure to pack quickly and move in a matter of days can only intensify the stress. Unlike other moving options, portable storage containers offer unmatched flexibility so you can pack and unpack at your leisure. Forget about having to load and unload an entire moving truck in one weekend! With the help of portable storage containers, you can take your time packing and unpacking. This can help ease some of that pressure of feeling rushed and allow you to focus on other aspects of your move.
3-Expense
Moving is not only stressful, but it can put a huge strain on your finances. This is especially true if you are moving long distance. That’s why it’s important to choose a moving option that is both convenient and affordable. Portable storage companies take the guesswork out of budgeting and offer simple, upfront pricing. All you pay for is the container rental as well as delivery and pick-up. There are no exorbitant costs, fuel charges, and hidden fees, making portable storage containers a less expensive option for moving.
4- Loading and Driving a Rental Truck
Many do-it-your selfers might consider renting a moving truck, but there are a lot of things to consider before getting behind the wheel of these large trucks. For starters, they are not always the easiest vehicles to drive. This can make drivers nervous and uneasy as they drive around transporting all of their belongings. In addition, it can take quite a toll on you if you are lifting heavy furniture and appliances up and down the steep ramp of a rental truck. Portable storage containers eliminate both of these issues since the containers are transported for you and they are on ground level which makes for easy loading and unloading.
5-Logistical Issues
Planning a move is never easy and it can be even more complicated if you are relocating to a different city. In addition to selling your home, packing your belongings, looking for a new home, and dealing with everything else related to the move, planning the actual logistics of the move can be a nightmare. Luckily, portable storage containers are safely transported directly to your new home so you never have to worry about the logistics of transporting your belongings.
