When people need to move, storage is sometimes a necessary component to the overall process. There are several situations in which storage is helpful, and in these cases, storage can be arranged through a special storage company, or it can be done by the moving company itself. By combining moving and storage, Jackson residents may find that their move is less stressful and more efficient in different situations.
Waiting to Move
In a move, timing is sometimes difficult. In many cases, the new home is not available yet when the old one needs to be vacated. This creates a situation where the person or family being moved not only needs to find temporary housing, but needs to find a place for all their possessions, too. Short term storage provided through a moving company allows Jackson residents to essentially pack up as if they’re moving, put their belignings in storage, and then just complete the move later when their home is ready and only deal with one company the whole time.
Downsizing with Storage
People rarely move from one home to another that happens to be the exact same size. In the case where someone is moving to a smaller home, they may not be able to fit all of their possessions in it. If they are not ready to part with those possessions, long term storage is sometimes the best option. By arranging moving and storage with the same company, people can load all of their belongings on the same truck and ship some to the newhome and some to the storage facility, or even ship all to the new home and have whatever won’t fit sent to the storage facility when the move is complete.
Disposing of Unwanted Items
A move is a great excuse to clean house, and every move uncovers items that jst aren’t wanted or needed anymore. If these items have monetary or sentimental value, people usually don’t want to just dispose of them, so short term storage provides the ability to hang onto the items long enough to find a buyer or select the right person or charity to give them to. When moving and storage is done with the same company, it’s not an extra step to deal with during the move—it’s just a matter of telling the company what goes where.
