Conclusion

If you only need to store a few small items, if you don’t have a car, or if you don’t need access to your belongings during storage, pick up & delivery storage can be a solution for your storage needs.

However, it can get very expensive if you need frequent access to your belongings as each delivery can cost 5 to 10 times more than your weekly rent.

Self-storage providers like Shurgard can offer you much more flexibility and control over what you store, where you store and when you store. And there’s no cost when you stop storing.

You know exactly where your items are stored.
You can visit your unit 7 days a week. Plus it’s free and you don’t have to make any appointment.
You are fully in control – you can move in or out whenever you want.
Each storage unit has a unique lock & key - only you can enter your unit, no one else can.
Knowing your items are safe and always within reach will give you the comfort to move, travel or run your company.
