Storage Container Moving - FAQ
|
|
|
Why use Store to Door’s One Way service instead of a traditional moving company?
Three reasons: it's affordable, convenient and secure. Not only will you save up to 50% off the price of a traditional move, but your items are completely safe and secure inside your One Way container. Unlike traditional movers that combine multiple households into one moving truck, Store to Door keeps your items securely containerized, no chance of items getting lost during transit.

|
|
Is the One Way service more expensive than a traditional moving company?
No! As a matter of fact, you can save up to 50% off the price of a traditional long distance moving company. Store to Door is normally your most cost-effective choice.

How big are the storage containers?
Each storage container measures 5’x 8’x 7’ (5 feet wide, 8 feet deep, 7 feet tall), and will hold approximately one to one-and-a-half average-size rooms of household content. Couches, king-size mattresses, armoires, appliances, all fit into a Store to Door container.

How do I know how many containers I'll need?
On average, each container will hold approximately a room to a room-and-a-half of household items. No need to worry if you over estimate, however. You’ll only be charged for the containers you use. That's why we usually suggest you take an extra one. If you use it, great. If not, we pick it up at no charge to you. To help estimate the number of containers you’ll need, use our convenient estimator.

What’s the delivery process like?
Your One Way containers arrive on a smooth-riding, air-suspension, flatbed truck. Our highly-skilled drivers then use a forklift to unload the containers and place them in the most convenient location for you to load. When ready, your One Way containers are brought back to our facility, sealed in a weather protective covering and strapped for extra security. The containers are then loaded inside the shipping vehicle for transport to your new home, not on a flat bed where they could be exposed to the elements. When they arrive in your new location, they are delivered right to your door for unloading.

|
How do I pack the containers to keep the contents from shifting?
You simply pack the container in the same manner that you would pack a moving truck -- avoiding empty space and protecting furniture and fragile items with moving blankets, bubble wrap and moving boxes. Place heavier items on the bottom and distribute weight evenly throughout the containers. To take a look at the packing supplies we offer, click here: Boxes and Supplies

|
How long do I have to load or unload my container?
No need for added stress. It’s up to you. We can schedule a same day delivery and pickup, or you can take up to two weeks to load or unload, you decide.
|
|
|
Does Store to Door provide help packing the containers?
Yes, Store to Door can provide this service. Whether you just need additional assistance with your larger items or are looking for a complete pack-and-load (down to the last teaspoon in the kitchen drawer), Store to Door will arrange for experienced, professional movers to load your containers.
|
|
|
Are your warehouses secure?
Very. All Store to Door facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art smoke, fire and intrusion systems -- all monitored at a central station. The warehouse, including all access points are continuously videotaped with the tapes rotated offsite. Only authorized Store to Door personnel have access to the main storage facility. Customers accessing their storage containers are asked to provide identification and must sign in before proceeding to the customer-access area. Security procedures are thorough and strictly-enforced throughout each facility.

“The first time I saw your truck, and your people working in my area, I thought, 'what a great idea'. A few months later, when I was getting ready for a local move, I remembered those slick looking pods, so I checked the yellow pages, made the call, and had a pod just outside my garage one day later. I loaded it up with the 'must have' memories that I have been tripping over all these years, and scheduled a pick-up for the following Monday.
The service was prompt and courteous.” |
