Are you running out of options on where to store your belongings? Do you feel like your belongings or possessions are holding you captive in your own home? Perhaps you didn’t know there are various types of storage facilities in Melbourne.

When it comes to choosing the right storage facilities that best suits your needs, two factors come into play; how much space you need and how long you need to store your belongings. Storage facilities are categorized into three major types;

Self Storage

If you live in Melbourne this is the most efficient and cost-effective way of storing your belongings. With a self storage company that offers reliable, prompt, convenient and inexpensive services you are good to go. These self storage facilities usually have different room size with a controlled room temperature/climate but this varies from one company to another.

In self storage unit, you do everything by yourself; moving or organizing your belongings is all on you. There are some Melbourne companies however that assist their clients to move. The good thing about self storage facilities is that you can access the premises at any time on any day of the week. You basically don’t need to get anyone’s approval or consent to visit the storage site.

You can as well select a storage facility in preferred locale; whether you want it in Braeside, Keysborough or Dandenong.

Mobile Storage

Mobile storage facilities are trailer-like containers that are normally dropped off at your location after an agreed arrangement by the storage company. Your job is to pack your belongings in the container and after you finish packing & loading, you contact the company to come and pick it up. Mobile storage allows you to do everything at your own pace, it’s just that simple.

However, you need to be extremely careful when packing or loading your possessions to avoid damage. Packing securely eliminates the possibility of damaging your valuables during transportation. Unlike self storage, mobile storage facility is not easily accessible. You have to make proper arrangement with the said Melbourne storage company in case you need re-delivery.

Your items can also be moved to any location of your choice ONLY if there is a similar storage unit.

Moving Company Storage

Moving company storage is designed for people who don’t have time to pack their belongings. This type of arrangement is however considered costly but it’s worth the cost. From packing to loading, the moving company is responsible for everything. What happens is the client and the mover agree on a specific collection day, what needs to be stored and it’s done, just like that.

Moving companies normally store clients items in their own facility which are climate/temperature controlled and have high-tech security systems. Melbourne residents who value professional services more than cost opt for this option. They have some sort of assurance that their possessions are handled properly and are safe.

Just like Mobile Storage, you need to arrange an appointment to access your possessions.
