Nothing causes confusion or frustration quite like uncertainty. But if you’re planning a residential move using a portable storage container, the last thing you need is more stress. That’s why it’s helpful to know all of the details about any move you’re planning, including an expected timeline.
Whether it’s your first time moving with a portable storage container or you want an improvement over a previous experience with another company, we’re here to help you plan the move as far in advance as possible.
Let’s take a look at what an ideal timeline looks like for these types of relocations
.
Phase 1: Pre-Move
There are a few things that need to happen in a portable storage container move, before the container arrives. For starters, you should perform due diligence and pick a portable storage container company with an A+ BBB rating, like SAM (Store & Move). You also need to determine how many containers you’ll need—fortunately, there are online resources like storage calculators that let you enter all of the items you’re moving and determine the number of them you’ll need for your move. Once those two tasks are complete, you are ready to schedule your portable storage container move.
Phase 2: Move
The moving phase starts with booking the storage container with the rental company. Once you’ve called and scheduled when the container will arrive, it will be delivered to your residence (or the approved location of your choosing). You are then free to load it up at your own pace and keep it for as long as you need. Once everything is ready to move, you give the container company a call again to have it picked up. It is then re-delivered to your new location, or stored in a climate-controlled facility for as long as you need it.
Phase 3: Post-Move
After the move, you have a few options with your portable storage container. These are rented out on a monthly basis, so there is no need to rush when it comes to getting your belongings again. They will be safe and secured for as long as you need it, whether it’s a few days, months or years. At the point when you want all of your belongings again, simply give the container rental company a call to have them delivered and picked up once you’re done.
