Take Care Of Those Fragile Items While Using A Moving Storage

Moving storage spaces certainly do have their merits. You can select and use the best moving storage services available in town and your possessions can still be damaged. It is important to realize that while sending our possessions to self storage warehouse, we are in possession of our goods. The self storage buildings are just renting us space. So in case our possession gets damaged, the self storage building has nothing to do with it if they have undertaken all appropriate measures that they generally do.

So while it is essential to use moving and storage, it is better to understand the how's and what's of taking care of your possessions, particularly the fragile ones. The fragile ones are a special case because they are both the most vulnerable and most expensive. So here is how you should go about it:

Packing In Layers: While using a moving storage, make a list of the items that you want to store. Carefully read this list and simultaneously make a parallel list of the items that you think will require extra attention. Then carefully pack them.

It is important to understand that the fragile items should be packed in layers. One of the best ways is to use the original packing when you had bought the item, of course only if you still have it handy. So first put a plastic around it. Then apply a thermocol sheet cover to protect it. Finally, use a cardboard box.

Do not forget to use the tape to cover the lid so that it does not break open and damage your possessions. The sad thing about this is that even if one of the boxes breaks open, chances are it will damage much more.

Using Labels: When you are done with the difficult task of packing, make sure you label everything. This is because when you transport them further, they will look the same, and chances are that you will get confused and will not be able to provide the special treatment for the desired boxes.

Using Cartons: When finally everything is packed and labeled, you need to pack it again in larger containers, which are easier to move than the smaller ones. Place the heavy items at the bottom, and if possible, keep the fragile items in a separate carton and pay special attention to it. This will prevent damage while using your moving storage.

Insurance: It is important to know that your insurance is subject to certain conditions. Your objects may be insured at home. But they most certainly are not insured in transit or in a self storage. However, these extensions are easily available. But be sure to call your insurance company before you prepare to head for the moving storage.
