Why a Portable Storage Container Can Offer a Less Stressful Move

No matter how much you prepare, moving day can be a source of great stress. Even the thought of the approaching day can be overwhelming at times. However, more and more people are realizing that a lot of that stress can be minimized with the inclusion of a portable storage container.  

Why a Portable Storage Container Can Offer a Less Stressful Move

Portable Storage Containers to the Rescue

How can a portable storage container make your move less stressful? We’re more than happy to list a number of ways in which our storage units can help save you time, money and stress. 

1. Flexibility Means More Time and Less Stress

To start with, there’s the matter of providing you and your family or business with more flexibility and time. Yes, movers and trucks rely on a schedule and that scheduled day is looming. However, if you have a portable storage container on-site ahead of that schedule, this allows you more time to organize and pack. As a result, this minimizes the need to rush the job when the day finally arrives. 

2. Make Fewer Trips on Moving Day

This leads to the next win-win on our list. Packing a portable storage container on site before the move means that it’s a “one and done” situation. Often, moving means multiple trips to and from the old and new site. When a portable storage container is pre-packed prior to the move day, that means you only need to commit to one trip. Everything you need to move to the new home or place of business is locked and loaded in one of our perfectly sized storage containers and ready for transport. 

3. Plenty of Time to Organize

Having a portable storage container on site also means that you have the time to properly organize your belongings before the big move. Our portable containers allow you to go deep with your organizational needs so that you can minimize clutter while also making sure that fragile items are securely placed. You can also pack in stages. This way, you do what you can when you can and, again, there’s no real rush. 

4. Secure Containers Means Your Belongings are Safe

Sure, you might be a bit worried when it comes to having a portable storage container on-site for too long. Let us ease your mind in that regard. Our portable storage units are very secure and also feature anti-theft devices. The only person or people going into your storage container will be you and whoever else you might grant that privilege to. This also means that you don’t need to worry about unintended exposure during the day of your move. 

Our storage containers are also designed to protect your stored belongings from various environmental conditions. If April showers bring May flowers then those showers can also be a burden to your big move. However, with a portable storage container on site, you can load at your leisure between all that pesky rain and be fully comforted by the fact that your belongings will remain high and dry and safe as can be. 

5. Easier to Coordinate Your Move

Let’s face a quick truth. No matter how good a friend it is, no one is ever over joyed when they are asked to help with a big move. This is just an unintended but convenient way to transfer the stress of a move to another. Let our portable storage containers be your friend in need so you don’t have to put that burden on someone else.

With an on-site moving container, you’re more able to deal with your packing issues at your leisure. There’s no rush and there’s no friend picking up the slack because of some impending schedule or moving deadline. With an easier schedule and a more laid-back approach, you might be surprised to find a friend volunteering to help. 

6. It’s Even Easier on the Other Side of the Move

The win part of this win-win is reaching your new home or place of business. As much as you enjoyed packing at your leisure, you can now unpack at your leisure. There’s no rush at all when you have your own portable storage container right there. 

One of the joys of moving into a new place is visualizing how your belongings will fit in your new space. This moment of joy can be quickly uprooted because of an unsightly clutter of boxes that is now backed up to your front door. However, with a portable storage container at your new site, you can take your time and unpack with purpose and flexibility.

7. A Careful Move Means a Break-Free Move

There’s a lot to be said for taking your time and getting it done right the first time. With a portable storage container in your corner, it’s easier to expect a trouble-free move. By packing and handling your own precious items and according to your own schedule you have more control over how it’s all packed together. 

Professional movers are, of course, professional and they know how to pack. However, they’re packing your items, not theirs. If it was the other way around don’t you think they might pack things a bit differently? You can be sure the answer is yes. 

Taking the time to pack your belongings allows for a greater peace of mind and, as the title reaffirms, less stress. You know where everything is, how everything is packed and how you want it to be unpacked and when. Are you getting the picture now?
