Crowded House? Gain Space By Using Storage Units

June 20, 2022 by admin

“With the two of us, our three kids, and Max the very enthusiastic beagle, this house is too crowded,” Sven said. “I need to be able to turn around without tripping over everyone. My wife, she does not want to just get rid of all of our things. So we need a compromise solution.”

Storage Units = External Closet Space

“What really solved this issue for me was how a co-worker described their storage unit. They called it their off-site closet. They’re not throwing their things away, they’re not selling or donating them. They’re keeping the things they want. They’re just not keeping them in the house.”

Sven broached the plan with his wife using a seasonal approach. “I said to her “Honey, how much more closet space would you have without all of these heavy sweaters and winter coats in here.” And she said “A lot!” And with the kid’s sports gear, same thing. Soccer season doesn’t start for weeks, and cheer is even later than that. We don’t need all this stuff in the house.”

The best Boston storage units are accessible 24/7, 365 days a year. “If for whatever reason – my wife wants her fuzzy blue sweater, let’s say – we need to get to the storage unit in the middle of the night, we can do that. On the weekend. On Christmas day. It literally does not matter – we can get to our things whenever we feel like it.” Additionally, the Boston storage units Sven and his wife rented are in a secure location, monitored continually to keep their possessions safe.

“It was a small decision that made a big difference in our quality of life,” Sven said. “If I had a million dollars, maybe I’d buy a bigger house or put an addition on this one. But I don’t have a million dollars. I have a reasonable rent to pay on the storage unit, and the extra space our family needed to be comfortable.”

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move from San Francisco to Boston. There was a bit of a lag period of about a month from when my items were picked up to when I arrived in Boston. The company was great at accommodating my schedule. I was so overwhelmed when I arrived to Boston! It was quite comforting that the movers were punctual, professional and kind and that all my things arrived in great condition. The movers were even kind enough to install my window AC when they realized it was too heavy for me to pick up! I would definitely recommend Boston Pack and Ship."

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!
