In a perfect world, your new house will be ready to move into at exactly the save time as you need to leave your previous residence. However, in real life, things often don't work out quite so smoothly. Often, you have to be out of your old house before you can close on your new one. Or, you're building a new house and there are delays, forcing you to live in a much smaller rental property or apartment while the work is completed. Whatever the reason, sometimes it's necessary to store your possessions while you finalize the plans on your new life.
When you find that you are going to need temporary storage for your possessions between moving out of your old home and into your new one, one of the first places you should look is to the company you've already been talking to about the transition to your new life--your moving company. Many moving companies, such as Absolute Moving & Storage Inc, offer temporary storage for their moving clients. Here are a few reasons why storing your belongings with your moving company is your best option.
1. Less hassle. Contracting with your moving company for storage means one less service provider that you have to deal with, helping to streamline your move. You also won't have to come up with an additional deposit and sign a second contract.
2. Seamless. When your moving company handles your temporary storage, you won't have the logistic problems that can arise when you coordinate the move with separate moving and storage companies. Since they all work for the same company, you won't have to worry about the storage location being closed when the movers go to pick up your possessions or about the moving company not being able to access your individual storage unit.
3. Continuous insurance. When you work with your moving company to store your belongings for that gap between houses, your possessions will be insured the entire time they are being moved and stored by the moving company. In the event something gets damaged, you won't have to deal with two companies each claiming the damage was the other party's fault.
It's a rare move that doesn't involve some extra time between when you move from your old home and when you can move into your new one. Arranging for temporary storage for your furniture and other possessions with your moving company can reduce the hassle, make for a seamless move and make sure that your belongings are insured from the time they are picked up at your old house until they are installed in your new one.
