Even if the overall objective of these storage facilities are to offer safe and hassle-free storage services to their customers, there are many thing that have to be considered when choosing a storage facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you should go for the storage facility that is\nsafe, secured, offers end to end storage service, is cost-effective and so on. Not\nknowing what to look for when choosing a storage facility can turn out to be a\ncostly mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I have got you covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on my years of experience in working with moving and storage companies in India, I can help you choose a storage facility that\u2019ll suit your requirements and budget perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So bear with me, as today I am sharing everything worth\nknowing about how to choose a storage facility, types of storage facilities\navailable in India, and how to save money on storing your household goods in\nstorage and warehousing facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s start with the key factors worth considering when\nchoosing a storage facility to store your goods and articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Size of the storage unit <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason you want to move your goods to a storage facility\nis to ensure that your household goods can be safely stored. Obviously, based\non what you want to store, you should know the size of the storage space you\nwould require. And you may go wrong here, if you don\u2019t know how much of storage\nspace you require for proper storage of your goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rent out the bigger storage unit than you require,\nthen you will end up wasting your money. And if you opt for a storage unit that\nis too small, then all your items may not fit properly in that small unit. In\neither case, you are the one who is going to suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get rid of this confusion, you should carefully evaluate\nthe inventory of goods that you want to move to the storage facility. You can\neasily measure the size of the items and add 10% more because once these items\nare packed; the dimensions of those packed boxes will be a little bigger than\nthe actual size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you will get clear idea of how much of storage\nspace do you need to safely your store you goods in the storage facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Location of the storage facility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the exact location of the storage facility is\nseriously important when using storage facility. Usually, the storage\nfacilities are located in the outskirts of the city, on the highways or in\ntransport hub of that city. For example, in Kolkata, most of the warehouses and\nstorage facilities are located outside of the city on Kona express way, Bombay\nroad and Dankuni area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices of properties (storage space) are unusually cheaper\nin the outskirts in comparison to the prime locations in the main city.\nNaturally, if you want to store your goods in the prime locations, closer to\nyour home, you may find such facilities, but then the daily storage fees for\nsuch facilities are going to be way more than the storage facility located in\nthe outskirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is true for any city in India or anywhere for that\nmatter. It\u2019s pure math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the best judgment about the best location of the\nstorage facility you should opt for, just consider a few things like the accessibility\nand duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I would be in your place and I have to choose between the\nstorage facility near me and the one located in the outskirts, then I will\ndecide based on frequency of access and duration of storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I need frequent access to my goods, and the storage\nduration is not more than a couple of month then I will opt for prime location,\neven if it costs a little more than outskirt ones. This way, I will be able to\nsave my time and money on commute to the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if i am going abroad or on long term assignment and\nI don\u2019t necessarily need frequent access and storage period is also going to be\nin months, and then I will opt for the warehouse located at the outskirts. By\ndoing so, I will be able to save on my monthly storage cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you got to think practically and I am sure you\u2019ll be\nable to take the best call as per your needs and preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Security of\nthe facility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously the overall security of the storage facility is of\nhighest importance to you. You don\u2019t want to compromise with the safety and\nsecurity of your household goods you will be storing in the storage facility\nand hence the overall security arrangement has to be f highest standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The storage companies know this that in case of any sort of\nsecurity lapses, they will have bad name in the market and they won\u2019t be able\nto sustain the storage business. So they are going to ensure that the storage\nunit itself and the overall storage facility are fully secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then, you should just check, review and ensure that the\nstorage facility in fully secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common security features includes security\nguards, installation of security cameras, and fire safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storage facility must have CC TV cameras installed across\nthe facility to secure it from external theft or any kind of emergency and it\nshould guard the inside of the premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, emergency fire fighting system should be\ninstalled at the storage facility to fight any emergency situation that may\narise due to sudden fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Insurance of the facility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after taking all the precautions and making all\npossible arrangements to ensure safety of stored goods in a storage facility,\nif anything goes wrong like a theft or damage, then the insurance is going to\nbe vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So just ensure that the storage facility you are planning to\nuse is sufficiently insured, and you should confirm the same. In fact, if you\nwant, you can ask them about the insurer and more details like when the\ninsurance is due for renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Pickup and delivery service<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many storage facilities in India that offer both\npickup and delivery service for your goods. They may also provide packing\nmaterials for you to pack your goods, and once you are ready with packed boxes,\nthey will pick the materials from your house and take it to the storage\nfacility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some weeks or months, when you want your goods back,\nthey will again deliver your goods from the warehouse to your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pickup and door delivery features can be very handy at\ntimes, but then these features are not free of cost and the storage companies\nmay charge you for this value-added service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on whether you need the pick-up and delivery service,\nand associated cost for the same, you can take a call and choose a storage\nfacility that suits your needs and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Storage policy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one fit all policy and terms of use for storage\nservices. Different storage companies may have different storage policy and\nterms of use. So, you must know about any specific terms and condition prior to\nchoosing a storage facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each storage facilities may have different types of storage\npolicy. They may have certain restriction on what types of items can be stored\nin their facility. Like most of the household storage facilities in India won\u2019t\nallow storage of foods grains, inflammable items, liquid inflammable stock,\nmedicines etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s better to check their policy when choosing a storage\nfacility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Maintenance of the facility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is equally important. Since you\u2019re going to use the\nstorage facility to store your goods for long term, you should ensure that the\nfacility is properly maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a good look at the facility and see of the building is\nproperly maintained and it is up to date. If the building does not look like\nproperly maintained then there may be several risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dirty, cluttered and unorganized space clearly indicates\nthe lack of maintenance and that\u2019ll be a turn off for me. A properly maintained\nstorage facility will do timely maintenance of the building that includes\nrepairing and paint etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The facility should be properly cleaned, tidy and organized.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Periodic pest control is equally important and a good\nfacility should have monthly pest control contract with a reliable pest control\ncompany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Features of the storage unit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from all these safety features, maintenance, insurance\netc, there are certain key features that are really important and hence it\u2019s\nworth considering when choosing a storage facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The storage facility should have proper ventilation for\nproper air flow. If the unit is totally closed, then due to lack of proper air\ncirculation, it may attract mildew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There should be no open window in the unit and floor of the\nstorage facility should be at least feet or more up to restrict water flow from\noutside. The door of the storage unit should be secured with strong latch so\nthat you can lock it securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the storage facilities are climate controlled and\nthat\u2019s a good sign. When you store your goods in a climate controlled storage\nfacilities, there will be no risk of humidity and moisture and your goods will\nremain safe inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But rent of such climate controlled storage units may be a\nlittle more than that facility that does not have climate control features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Types of storage facilities available in India<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the main objective of a storage facility is to\nstore goods and articles safely, different types of storage facilities are\navailable with different features and usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there are pros and cons of using these facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s check the types of storage facilities that are available\nfor you in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Warehousing facility by moving companies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, this type of storage facility is\nprovided by the movers and packers companies in India. Most of the movers and\npackers have big size godown or warehouse as they call it, in the suburbs of\nthe city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They use this facility to offer end to end, safe and secured\nstorage services to their customers. Such storage facilities are most suited to\nstore household goods, furniture, appliances, electronic goods, crockery items\netc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they use part of their storage facility as a\ncollection point for goods to be transported, they use remaining part of the\nfacility as exclusive storage using for their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part of using these types of storage facility is that\nit\u2019s cost effective and comparatively cheaper than other available self storage\nfacilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of using such storage facility is that,\nyou don\u2019t have to worry about anything including safe and secured packing of\nyou goods and hassles of transporting your goods to and from the storage\nfacility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you decide to use such storage service, the movers and\npackers will come over to your home; they\u2019ll pack everything safely and bring\nall the goods to their storage facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will safely store your goods for as long as you want,\nand when you want those goods back, you can simply call them and they will\ndeliver the goods to your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, its hassle-free way of storing your goods at cost\neffective rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of storage services are going to be on door-to-door\nbasis and that\u2019s big advantage otherwise you have to spend time in packing and\nalso have to manage local transportation to and from the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Lock and key self storage facility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lock and key self storage facility is a new concept in\nIndia. There are a number of self storage companies offering lock and key\nstorage facility to their customer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They usually have a big storage facility, divided into\nseveral rooms of various sizes from 100 square feet to 150 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest advantage of using such lock and key self\nstorage is that you will have easy access to your goods and if ease of access\nis important to you, then you should choose a lock and key self storage\nfacility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing, pickup and drop facility may be and may not be\navailable in case of lock and key self storage facility. If you want to store\nsmaller items, and want frequent and easy access to your stored goods, then you\nmay chose lock and key self storage facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Container storage facility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, container storage facility uses\nshipping containers as a storage space. Shipping container facility is mostly\nused for commercial goods storage. You may rent out the full container in case\nyou need more space or can rent a divided compartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The storage company may offer to ship the container storage\nto your place or a nearby place and once you have stored your goods, they will\npick and move the container to their space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said, these types of storage facility will suit those\nwho want to store commercial goods and it may not be the best fit for\nindividuals to store household articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to cut storage costs when using storage facility?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you read this post so far, then I am sure you are\nplanning to move some of your household goods to a storage facility near you.\nAnd as I promised, I am going to help you cut storage costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have decided to use a self storage facility or\nthe storage facilities offered by the movers and packers companies, there are\nsome easy ways to reduce costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering? Here you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reduce inventory<\/strong> \u2013 It may not be always easy to\nreduce the inventory, but still, you should review the list of items twice and\nsee if there is anything that you can get rid of before renting out the storage\nspace. Less inventory means, less packing and transportation cost and obviously\nsmaller space will work for you. This hack is going to help you save some money\non overall storage, irrespective of the type of storage you decide to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opt for self-service <\/strong>\u2013 if you opt to pack your goods\non your own and then transport it to the storage facility, you will be able to\nsave the packing local transportation cost.
