Today’s question comes to us from Sam, who wants to know what are the best portable storage units? That’s a really good question. Sometimes you know that you’re going to want portable storage specifically for all kinds of reasons, like maybe you want to store it on site so that you have it nearby, maybe you’re involved in a moving process and you want to store stuff while you’re moving so they can move the container over to your new address. For all these reasons, sometimes you want portable storage and that’s definitely the way to go. So how do you choose the best one? So basically there are two kinds of portable storage. The first kind is classic portable storage. Basically what they offer is moving and storage services and that is all. Meaning they will deliver the container to you or to any address you choose and they can move it to wherever you want. That’s why it makes moving easier in this case. The second type of portable storage is called valet storage. Valet storage offers a wide array of services including packing, lifting, loading, moving, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and everything related to moving and storage so that your moving experience can actually be done without you ever lifting a finger. So in short, Sam, better really depends on what you need and who you are. For me, I don’t like packing, I don’t like lifting heavy things, I will always go for the full service storage, but it really depends on you, what kind of experience you have, and what you want to do on your own, and what you’d rather have professionals do.
