STORAGE TIPS AND ADVICE: Don't know where to start? We've put together some information to make your move into storage as easy as possible. * If you have belongings you may need to access while in storage remember to place in storage unit last. Pack a separate "emergency" box with things you'll need during the move * Box everything that is possible and everything that is left unboxed try to secure. Books store them flat to avoid damaging their spines mark fragile boxes clearly do not mark every box fragile if they are not. * Label all boxes so you can pinpoint the contents and they can be placed in correct location when your final move takes place and keep an inventory. * It’s a good idea not to fill large boxes with heavy items such as books as they'll quickly become unmanageable to carry, a good rule is the heavier the item the smaller the box. * Do not rush the process of filling your storage space take your time and make sure everything fits nicely do not put to much weight on certain items of furniture if your belongings are going to be in storage a while they may become damaged with prolonged weight on them. * Mirrors and pictures need extra protection in a self storage unit, stack them on their ends and securely wrap in bubble tape. Pictures and mirrors should certainly not be stored flat. * As a rule start by packing the storage unit with stackable items light and awkward items leave till last. Before storage separate lamp bases and lamp shades and wrap them for protection. * For added protection of your wood furniture blankets or even cardboard can be used to separate items that could possibly rub or scratch surfaces if placing other items on furniture use cardboard boxes to protect
