5 Reasons to Move Yourself Using a MI-BOX® Storage Container

Posted on September 20, 2017

Move with MI-BOX Storage Container

Instead of hiring professional movers, you can move yourself easily with the help of a MI-BOX® container rental.

There are many benefits of doing a DIY move, and these perks can often outweigh the advantages of hiring a professional moving company. When you do a self-move, you not only save money, but you get the comfort of knowing exactly which moving boxes your items are tucked away in. You are also on your own schedule and not waiting on someone else to pack your belongings.

 

Here are five reasons why a DIY move is worth considering:

 

1. Moving and Storage Big Cash Savings

Professional movers provide a professional service at a professional price. Although some people are happy to pay someone else to take care of this job for them, many people are unable to afford this costly service or simply don’t want to pay for it.

When you decide to pack your items yourself and move them to your new home without a professional moving company’s assistance, your moving costs are minimal.

However, many people find that using mobile storage containers provide the best of both worlds. The do-it-yourself-ers simply fill it up then the container providers pick it up and safely deliver it to the new home. With affordable rental rates, it’s easy to see why this option has become a new favourite among movers.

2. A More Flexible Schedule

When you work with professional movers, you may find yourself bending to accommodate their moving schedule instead of your own. You are also more susceptible to delays since you’re relying on someone else to meet your deadlines. By moving yourself, you’re able to set your own schedule.

 

3. Organize Items Your Way

When you look around your home, you may see a sweater draped across the banister, a pair of worn out slippers tucked under the couch, or a stack of towels in the laundry room waiting to be put away in the linen closet. Because these items are not in their usual locations, professional movers may not pack them with similar items. When you move yourself, you can ensure your items are organized correctly into the appropriate moving boxes.

 

4. Cheap Labour Options

When you skip on hiring the professionals, you can essentially hire your family and friends instead. In most cases, they’re happy to help as long as you offer to return the gesture and provide a little sustenance. Pizza and beer, anyone?

 

5. Keep a Better Eye on Your Stuff

You have probably heard horror stories about friends of friends that hired professionals to help them move only to discover their antique heirloom necklace or prized game-watching chair got lost along the way. If you move yourself, you can be sure no items get lost or left behind.
