Sometimes the move-out date arrives before the new home or office is ready. Storage can help bridge that gap, but it needs its own plan. Tell us what you want to store, how long you expect to need the space and whether you will need access during that period.
List furniture, cartons, appliances and equipment, including dimensions for larger pieces. Identify fragile items and anything with specific environmental or handling needs.
Ask which items are accepted and how they should be prepared. Keep documents, medicines and belongings you use regularly with you rather than in a shipment you may not be able to access immediately.
Share an item list, approximate volume, preferred start date and expected storage duration.
Discuss suitability, access, handling and quotation details before confirming storage.
Coordinate arrival and review the goods being handed over for storage.
Use the agreed contact and access arrangements for questions or changes to your storage requirements.
Give the team your proposed release date and confirm any collection, loading or onward transport services required.
Confirm the services, responsibilities and proposed arrangements in your quotation before booking.
Discuss Your RequirementsDiscuss the available facility, storage conditions, security arrangements and access procedure before booking. If temperature or humidity control matters for an item, ask specifically whether suitable conditions are available.
Agree whether you can retrieve individual items, how much notice is needed and what handling charges apply. Storage access is not necessarily the same as visiting a self-storage unit.
Ask how the storage period is charged, when billing starts and what happens if you need to extend. Check whether packing, collection, loading and redelivery are included or separately priced.
For a move between cities, connect storage with your intercity moving plan. Keep dates flexible until the destination is ready to receive the shipment.
Keep the inventory and booking details together. Let the team know the destination, access arrangements and preferred redelivery date in advance.
Check items against the record when they are returned. Discuss any change in the inventory or delivery address before the retrieval arrangement is confirmed.

Share the inventory and expected dates so availability and charging arrangements can be discussed.
Ask about the facility's retrieval procedure before booking. Access, notice periods and handling charges depend on the agreed arrangement.
Do not assume it is. Explain the item's requirements and obtain confirmation of the available conditions.
Check the written scope and any offered policy separately, including cover limits, exclusions and the claim procedure.
Share your pickup, destination and preferred date, along with the items or services involved. We will help you work through the next steps and prepare a quotation for your requirements.
