A MI-BOX® mobile storage container makes a two-part move significantly easier.
Moving is always a stressful experience - even more so when you are moving in two stages and not directly from one home to another. Whether your possession dates don't line up, you're traveling in between moves, or your new home isn't completed yet, there are any number of reasons that you may need to stay in a temporary location between homes. Using a Kelowna mobile storage container rather than a moving truck and self storage rental can make the whole process much easier.
Here are a few tips for simplifying your two-part move.
Pack Only the Essentials
If you're staying in a furnished, temporary rental or with friends or family, you don't need to bring much. There's no need for all your pots and pans and kitchen items if you're staying in a fully equipped house.
That said, beyond the bare necessities (clothing and toiletries), bring a few daily essentials that will make life more pleasant. It's stressful to be 'displaced' for any amount of time and having a few comforts of home – like your favourite duvet, pillows, or your fancy espresso maker – will make the time more bearable.
Split your clothes seasonally and bring only what you absolutely need. Use specialized garment boxes for the rest of your clothes going into the storage rental. It saves time to hang them directly in the box and is better for your clothes. You definitely don't want to have to iron everything when you finally get settled.
Store Everything Else in a MI-BOX® Storage Rental
MI-BOX® is the perfect storage rental solution for a two-part move. Rather than rushing to load a moving truck that you're paying for by the hour, the mobile storage container is dropped off right at your home, allowing you to load everything at your convenience.
When you have everything packed up, the moving box is picked up and taken for storage at Space Centre's climate controlled secure indoor facility. When you're ready to move into your new home, MI-BOX® will be delivered to your new location where you can unpack everything at your leisure.
Choosing MI-BOX® saves you from the additional loading and unloading you would have to do with a moving truck and self storage rental. You load the MI-BOX® once and unload it once. The friends helping you move will thank you!
