Moving into Public/Self Storage- Delivery Tips

In this busy moving season we are seeing more customers choosing a delivery into self storage when storage is needed.  Possibly the trend is due to the economy and the need to cut costs in the move.  Self storage does present some added considerations and precautions when being delivered and they must be seriously followed to prevent any misunderstandings.    

The movers can deliver the shipment to a public/self storage facility of your choosing in your destination state. As noted above, be advised that once the shipment is unloaded into public/self storage the mover is released of all liability, even if you discover damage at a later date to boxes that the professionals packed.
Therefore, once again, any damaged or missing items must be notated on the inventory as the items are being placed into the facility. The movers will not consider a claim if you move the items out of the public/self storage unit before filing. It is very important that you or someone you trust is there to oversee the delivery into the facility. CRS also recommends that you research public/self storage locations prior to choosing one to determine their access limitations. If a tractor trailer cannot easily access the unit you will incur additional charges for shuttle/auxiliary service. Many newer facilities are designed to accommodate tractor trailers.

  2. I agree. It is a very simple rule, and I believe clients must be able to follow it. The items, first of all, belong to them, and it is still their job to look out for their belongings. They just have to look out for their things as the move is on-going. It’s as simple as that, and everything will fall in place. It is important that clients are aware of the rules and regulations to avoid conflict with the operators.
