Picture of My Scooter and Storage Pod [San Diego, CA]

Just the other day I dashed to my friend's house on Ingraham and parked right in front of a Big Box San Diego storage pod. Here's a picture of my scooter and the "Big Box".



I though to myself, how convenient..., to be able to move all your things into a storage pod right next to your place. And if you look at the top right corner of the storage box, it says "Free Delivery". I can't even imagine why people still choose to load up a truck, unload it and store everything themselves at the self storage facilities, when a company like Big Box Storage could come drop-off AND pickup your storage so you never have to pay for a mover or load and unload a truck.

If you're thinking about storing some old things or planning on moving, consider the possibility of cutting out the middle-man (moving to the storage facility).

Big Box Storage San Diego does have professional movers to help you load and unload the pod as well.

Big Box Storage Made It Easy For Us

As you know, we do moves for a living damn-near ever day of our lives. We've moved people in apartments, houses, storage facilities, you name it. We moved the biggest pieces of furniture from the 3rd floor down tight flights of stairs. We've walked around corners, down driveways, through backyards and so on, just to move some of the craziest pieces of furniture. Well, this past weekend we had one of the easiest and fastest moves ever!

Tom in Lemon Grove is moving to Chula Vista. For some unlucky economic circumstances, he had to move out NOW. But he couldn't move into his new place until something was squared away. It seemed like it'd be roughly a few weeks before he could move into his new place.

So he ordered a Big Box Portable Storage Unit that was scheduled to be dropped off at his house at 8am. Big Box arrived about 7:45 and dropped the storage unit right next to the curve. The guy said he would be back around 4pm or 8am the next day. It was really our choose. He could actually keep the unit as long as he wanted. He can also stored the bin at Big Box's warehouse as long as he needs to also.

Long story short, we were able to load his whole 2 bedroom house (of 7 years) into the storage unit within 4 Hours. Right now the unit is in Big Box's warehouse and we'll be waiting on a call from Tom to unload it at his new place whenever its ready.

If you are ever looking for a real storage solution, consider Big Box. They can do anything a typical storage company can do AND MORE! Check out Big Box' site to learn more about there storage services.

San Diego Storage Unit Tips

Appliances:
Refrigerators and/freezers should be thoroughly dry and stored with doors slightly open. Make sure they are completely cleaned before storing.

Bicycles & Metal Items:
To prevent rust, wipe all metals with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil.

Books & Documents:
Pack books flat to protect their spines. Do not place boxes directly on concrete floors, put on pallets or skids to prevent moisture absorption. Use pack paper to fill in the empty parts.

Bedding, Clothing, Curtains, Linens:
Use wardrobe boxes. Big Box Storage provides free wardrobe boxes for moves (must request before-hand)

Dishes & Glassware:
Place a layer of packing material inside the bottom and at top of boxes containing glassware. Ideally these should be stored in a specifically designed dish pack box (available upon request). All glass items should be individually wrapped; nest cups and bowls and stand plates, saucers and platters on edge. Wrapped glasses should be placd near the top od cartons. Fill all pockets with packing materials. Label all boxes containing glassware, and do not place heavy items on boxes containing glassware.

Lamps:
Wrap large lamps and place them in boxes and pack delicate lamp shades separately. Do not use newsprint to wrap lamp shades or any other goods that may be dammages by ink stains. Do not store heavy items on cartons containing lamp shades.

Mirrors, Windows and Screen:
These items should be stored on edge, not flat.
