Are you planning to move your belongings into a storage unit? It can be a daunting task, but with the right approach, you can do it safely and efficiently. Here are some tips to help you move your belongings into a storage unit at Charlevoix Mini Storage without any hassles:

  1. Choose the right storage unit: The first step to moving your belongings into a storage unit is to choose the right one. Choose a unit that's the right size for your needs, has good security features, and is easily accessible. At Charlevoix Mini Storage we have everything you'll need. If you need a hand choosing the right size storage unit, our size guide can be found here, which you may find useful.

  2. Declutter before packing: Before you start packing, declutter your belongings. Get rid of anything you no longer need or use. This will help you save space in your storage unit and reduce the amount of items you need to move.

  3. Gather packing supplies: Gather all the packing supplies you'll need, such as boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts. It's important to use high-quality packing supplies to protect your belongings during transport and storage.

  4. Label everything: Label all your boxes and items clearly with the contents and destination room. This will make it easier to find what you need when you're ready to move items out of storage.

  5. Create an inventory: Keep a detailed inventory of everything you're storing in your unit. This will help you keep track of your items and can be useful for insurance purposes.

  6. Pack carefully: When packing your items, be sure to wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper. Make sure to fill any empty space in the boxes with packing peanuts or a similar filler to prevent shifting during transport.

  7. Stack smartly: Stack heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top. This will prevent damage to fragile items and make it easier to access your items when you need them.

  8. Use a dolly: A dolly can be a lifesaver when moving heavy items. Use one to move larger items into your storage unit safely.

  9. Ask for help: Don't be afraid to ask for help when moving your items into your storage unit. Hire professional movers or enlist the help of friends and family if required to make the process smoother and safer.

At Charlevoix Mini Storage, we understand that moving your belongings into a storage unit can be stressful. That's why we offer a wide variety of storage unit sizes and convenient features like drive-up 24/7 access and fully secure and well lit yards to make the process easier and safer for you.
