Boston Living: Storage, Your Winter Wardrobe, and You

October 22, 2017 by admin

Whether you’re a college student or live in Boston year round, chances are that you have more stuff than space. It happens – Boston is one of the most expensive cities to live in, and things like spacious closets and access to attic or basement storage aren’t something everyone has. That’s where storage units come in.

Think of your storage unit as a seasonal off-site closet. During the summer, your Boston storage unit can hold your winter wardrobe, your ski gear, your heavy blankets, your snow shovels, and that sort of thing. When winter rolls around, as it inevitably does, your Boston storage unit can hold all of your summer gear, the kids’ outdoor toys, bicycles, the barbecue grill and other items you won’t need when it’s cold outside.

Storage units come in a variety of sizes. Some families prefer to contain costs by securing a large storage unit and storing everyone’s things in there. However, for some families, particularly those with older or adult children living at home, it may make more sense to rent multiple smaller storage units and divide them logically. Choose a storage facility that allows you 24/7 access to your possessions: this can be important in case you decide at the last minute you really do need the barbecue grill or your bikini.

Another reason people in Boston rent storage units is because they have a home business. Storing excess inventory, raw materials, and packing supplies can make your home uncomfortably crowded. Renting a storage unit is a smart way to keep the items you’ll need, easily accessible, at a regular, predicted cost, and still have room in your home for your family and friends!

"I needed to bring a few pieces of furniture from my parents' home in Connecticut to my home in Watertown and move a few additional pieces to Bethesda, Maryland. This was not a large project, but complicated to arrange. I had to go to southern Connecticut in order to meet the moving truck, which involved coordinating my schedule with their availability and then arrange for the drop-off at each end of the move. In spite of my schedule constraints on my part, waffling (on my part) and the overall complexity of the task at hand, Joe Fell [of Boston Pack and Ship] was invariably helpful, responsive and patient. In the end, the move went smoothly and I very much appreciated their efforts."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
