The mobile storage units Kelowna families choose for convenience are quickly becoming a favourable option over moving trucks.
Mentally, you've already got your boxes packed and you're ready to move into your new Okanagan home. In reality, you'e still trying to figure out how you'e going to transport all of your material possessions in the quickest, easiest way possible. Before you hire a moving truck, consider a mobile storage unit Kelowna homeowners are turning to for a more convenient move.
People that move house‚ either into a permanent dwelling or a temporary arrangement‚ itypically rent a moving truck to transport their belongings. And if you don't know any better, it seems like a fairly straightforward process:
- Pick up the moving truck from the rental company
- Rush to fill it, risking damage to your personal effects
- Hustle to your new residence
- Hurriedly unload everything
- Repeat the process until the job is done
That's fine if you don't have a lot of stuff to move, or if you've got a small army of helpers to speed up the process, but it can be an exhausting process to get it done all in one day. With possession dates being what they are, that's usually the way it has to go.
Portable shipping containers like the ones found at Space Centre Storage in Kelowna alleviate the rush job, allowing you to move at your convenience. All you've got to do is:
- Phone to arrange a time and location to drop off a container (hint, order well in advance to give yourself plenty of time to pack your belongings without feeling rushed)
- Pack your belongings into the spacious container (various sizes are available to suit your needs)
- Contact Space Centre Storage to come and load the container and transport it to new residence
- Unload your belongings at your leisure
- Call Space Centre Storage to retrieve the empty container
Additional Considerations for Moving Trucks
When it comes to moving trucks, costs can quickly add up. On top of the rental fee, you're also looking at some fairly hefty mileage costs, as these hefty vehicles require a lot of fuel to operate.
With a portable storage unit rental, the price you see is the price you pay.
Also, if your regular vehicle is a compact car or small SUV, getting behind the wheel of a cube van or other large moving vehicle can be a daunting experience. Your maneuverability and ability to take corners is vastly different, and learning to use those side view mirrors properly‚ as there is no rear-view mirror in most moving trucks‚ is also an adjustment.
With Space Centre Self Storage, our professional drivers will carefully load your portable storage unit and transport it to your chosen destination. What could be easier?
