Practical storage tips

Pack so that the breakable items are protected and the boxes aren’t too heavy. Especially dangerous...are book boxes. Give yourself a break and only pack small boxes of books or mix them with other lighter items. At the storage site, you can use our trollies and carts. It’ll save unnecessary carrying and injuries. And pack up everything, even the trivial things. We have a wide selection of boxes and packing material available. If you have unused packing material, feel free to bring it back to us and we’ll take the difference off of your rent. Talk to one of our representatives at any time.

Often after a move or during storage, you run short of time. On the first day, to survive/manage without damage, you should pack the most important things: Clothing for a week, toiletries and cooking utensils, so that you are sure to survive. And don’t forget to label the boxes. Mark them clearly so that they can be found without too much searching. Once you are ready to move the boxes, you can then put them in the right room.

For an easy move you need the right kind of transportation. Plan to make as few trips as possible. Call for local removal service or your transportation requirements. The use of blankets help protect your furniture during transport.

When you have to carry a heavy box, you don’t want to have to go a long way. Secure a good parking spot in front of your home.

IN case you are in an inner city location, you may obtain parking permits through the city. This city service will cost you between €25 and €175 depending on your location.
