Steps to a DIY Office Move: Why a Kelowna MI-BOX® Offers the Ideal Solution

Posted on July 18, 2018

DIY Office Move

Make an office move easy on you and your staff by renting a MI-BOX® portable storage container.

If you are a small business owner in the Okanagan who is ready to make a move into a new office, why not make it easier on yourself, and your budget, by moving yourself? By doing it yourself, and renting a Kelowna MI-BOX®, you will relieve the stress and panic of moving by packing your office in your own time. You can also have your portable storage container delivered to your new location when you are ready.

Read our blog to see how you can move your office in just a few easy steps:

 

Arrange Your Moving Box

Even if you don’t know your moving date, it only takes a phone call to get started.

All you have to do is:

  • Call MI-BOX®’s Kelowna distributor, Space Centre Storage, as soon as you can to have a moving storage container delivered to the office you are moving from
  • Clear out a parking space or lot in front of your office to fit the container
  • Purchase a sturdy padlock to use on your container and pass out the key only to those who you want to have access
  • Get packing

 

Pack at Your Own Time

Now that you have your storage container, you can start packing. As a MI-BOX® is made of a sturdy Duraplate® finish, you won’t have to worry about leaks from rain or your items from overheating or freezing. And the bonus is that you can pack at your own schedule.

Make it an easy transition by following these steps:

  • Pack and cover the items you won’t be needing right away securely in boxes or containers 
  • Place them at the back of the container. Do this at your own pace
  • Leave important items for last
  • Make aisles in between your boxes so you can access items easily

 

Ready to Deliver

Now that you are packed and have set your moving date, you can now call Space Centre Storage to have your portable storage unit delivered to your new location.

Your office equipment and other items will be kept safe as Space Centre Storage uses a patented Level Lift System on all of its MI-BOX mover trucks. They lift the containers without tilting them, which protects your items from shifting while they are being lifted and also while they are in transit.

Once your container is delivered, you can then take your time unpacking as the same deal applies to when you loaded your unit.

 

Don’t Leave it in Limbo

If a scenario arises where the time between your moving out date doesn’t coincide with the moving in date at your new location, don’t despair. There is a solution. You can still pack your mobile storage container and have it picked up and delivered to Space Centre Storage’s climate controlled commercial storage warehouse. Then when you are ready to move into your new office, just give Space Centre Storage a call and have it delivered.

Easy peasy.
