I like that you mentioned trying to sell everything that you don’t need or can’t fit early. This can help cover some of the moving costs and help get a little extra cash. Once you have all that you want to store, I would be sure and label everything.

I think when moving things into storage it is a great time to find things you don’t need or want to get rid of. I like the idea of having a yard sale, and then donating what you don’t sell. My wife and I are moving this summer and are looking forward to cleaning and getting rid of junk.

This is some really good information about storage units. I like that you talked about how it might be a good idea to look for a storage unit off of a highway. That way you can have easy access to it.

This has some great tips for effectively using a storage unit. I think finding the right self storage unit is the hardest part, balancing size, price, and location. However, finding the right unit is definitely worth the search.

Cool post! I learned a lot about self-storage units by reading this article! Thank you for explaining that “being off a major highway will help you in the future when you need to return to your storage unit.” I have never rented out a storage unit before so it is good to know where the best place to rent one would be.

This is some great information, and I appreciate your suggestion to pack things you won’t need in the back. My husband and I are wanting to make some changes to the shop in our backyard, and we need to take a lot our stuff we’re storing there and move it. We’re looking into getting a storage unit for that, and we’ll be sure to put the things we don’t need access to in the back corners. Thanks for the great post!

The hardest part of the process seems like step number two: getting rid of everything that won’t fit. I am starting to worry about the size of a self storage unit for an upcoming move. However, it is comforting to know that I can sell bulky items that are replaceable (like furniture) on Craigslist. I’m sure that will help me get everything to fit.

These tips for packing my things away in storage will help make moving a little easier. Your tips for finding an affordable storage unit will be useful to know while I’m looking for one that I can use. I’ll be sure to rent a unit that’s located off the freeway and away from the city to find a cheaper unit. Thanks for the tips!

For me, the most daunting task is always the first: finding the right self storage place in my area. Your tip to strategically select a place located by a major highway is genius, though! It would make those inevitable trips back and forth so much less of a hassle. I am going to keep this in mind for my next move. Thanks for the insight!

Getting rid of things is really hard because for whatever reason I develop a connection to the smallest items. Despite this, however, I really appreciated your second step to get rid of it all. I liked the idea of selling your large items on the internet and then having a big yard sell to get rid of the rest. This idea helps you part with your things easier because you know they are going to someone who will use it, but also, you are making a bit of profit too. Thanks for your tips on packing and moving to make it a lot easier.
