10 Businesses That Can Thrive Thanks To A Commercial Storage Unit
April 5, 2023 by in Storage Facility

Most people likely assume a business can only operate from home, an office or other premises. However, it is also the case that a business can be partly run from a storage facility.

We are not talking about someone setting up an office in a storage unit, although we dare say it has been tried.

Instead, we are talking about businesses that can use one or more storage units to benefit their business by providing a cost-effective means of storing equipment, inventory, tools, and other items associated with running that business. Here are ten such businesses and why storage units can help them thrive.

eBay/Amazon Sellers: Whether selling on eBay or Amazon, a commercial storage unit can provide a secure location to store inventory. By storing inventory in a storage unit, sellers can prepare orders and ship them with ease. Also, with 24/7 access, they can receive, retrieve, and prep inventory whenever needed.

Independent E-commerce Retailers: A commercial storage unit provides a convenient location to store products, pack and prepare orders, and ship them directly from the storage unit. With several storage options, including climate-controlled units, many products can be stored optimally while saving money on rent and other overheads. Read More

Time Factors To Consider When Deciding When To Move Home

Time Factors To Consider When Deciding When To Move Home
March 15, 2023 by in House Removals

One point that should be more obvious than it is is that people move home almost every day of the year, which means removalists very rarely have time to put their feet up and relax for a day or two, let alone a whole week. Many factors will influence when someone moves home, and it will often be the case that matters beyond their control dictate the timing.

For example, the timing of a job relocation and the necessary home move may be down to the employer's choosing. The time it takes the bank to agree on a mortgage is another. Or it could be the landlord whose apartment you will rent wishes to refurbish, delaying the date for moving in. Add to these any one of hundreds of other matters that could influence when a home move takes place.

Of course, the timing of your home move may be entirely in your hands, so you can choose the date that suits you. However, that date should not be arrived at by throwing a dart at a wall calendar. Matters such as hiring removalists and their availability will be one to cover, and there are other timing factors that you should consider, such as those we have highlighted below. Read More

Consider using a commercial storage facility to store valuable or delicate possessions. In that case, it is important to think about the conditions in which they will be stored and exposed to extreme temperatures, humidity, and moisture can all harm several item types such as electronics, wooden furniture, musical instruments, artwork, documents, and fabrics.

This is why climate-controlled storage has become an increasingly popular and necessary option for anyone wanting to preserve their belongings in optimal condition. If you read on, we will explore the benefits and uses of climate-controlled storage units and why they could be the right option for your storage needs.

Climate-Controlled Storage Explained

Climate-controlled storage space for rent is storage that maintains constant temperature and humidity levels. This is achieved through heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems that regulate the temperature and humidity levels within the storage unit.

The ideal temperature range for climate-controlled storage is between 13 and 27 degrees Centigrade, while the humidity level is between 30 and 50 per cent. This means that climate-controlled storage units can protect against extreme temperature fluctuations, moisture, and humidity, which can all cause damage to stored items. Read More

How To Choose A New Country To Live In
February 18, 2023 by in Moving Internationally

The process of choosing an overseas holiday destination and arranging to go there via a travel agency will seem like a walk in the park compared to when someone decides to move to a new country with everything that involves including acquiring visas, hiring international removalists, and buying or renting a new home,  to name but three of the many tasks that would need to be completed.

If you are considering moving overseas, prime amongst those tasks is choosing removalists because of their wealth of knowledge and vast experience in helping people move everything they own to a new home thousands of miles away in another country. In most cases, another continent, it will be invaluable to you when you do finally move.

However, before those removalists even get the chance to prove their worth, you, and those within your immediate family, such as your spouse or partner, have a decision to make. It is probably the most fundamental of them all, and that is what country you will live in.

Often, the choice of country is decided from the outset. Examples are when someone’s employment takes them to another country or they are moving from Australia to be with family-based overseas. Read More
