Storage tips: Packing your portable storage container
Door To Door's portable storage containers are designed to be safe and easy to load and unload. Many people are surprised by what they can fit into one container — an average room to a room-and-a-half of furniture or 40 to 50 medium-sized moving boxes.
Generally, you should pack your storage container as tightly as possible without open spaces in order to prevent your items from shifting while the container is being transported. A good approach is to pack one-quarter of the container at a time.
- Moving boxes should be filled completely and lids closed.
- Heavy items should be packed in small boxes for easier lifting.
- Stack heavy items on the bottom, lightweight items on top.
- Distribute weight evenly throughout your storage container.
- Protect your items with paper pads, bubble pack, or moving blankets.
- Prop the door open while you are loading to keep it from closing unexpectedly.
- Secure the storage container when it is unattended with a strong commercial-grade padlock. For extra security, park your car in front of the door of the container.
- Use the inventory list in the packet you received from your Door To Door Customer Care Representative to make it easy to keep track of your items.
- Store fragile items in dresser drawers.
