How Do I Choose A Storage Unit?

Storage Unit Sizes

How Do I Choose A Storage Unit? Click here to use our storage unit sizing tool so you can calculate how big of a storage unit you need. Finding a trustworthy storage unit is kind of like finding a trustworthy landlord, except you only really get to deal with the storage company once or twice when you sign up and move in. After that, you hopefully won't talk to them at all. You pay your rent, visit your storage unit when you need to get something or put something in, and that's all there is to it. However, there are some warning signs you should keep an eye out for to make sure your relationship with your storage company is a good one. Decide on the Type of Storage Unit You Need Take a look at the things you plan to put into storage. You may already have an idea of the size of storage unit you want to rent, but keep in mind that you don't want to just rent a storage unit that will fit all of your items, you want a unit where you can fit yourself inside with a little room to work. If you ever want to be able to get your items out, you don't want to pack your storage space wall to wall, floor to ceiling. Many people get the smallest possible unit they can get in order to save money, and then wind up having to empty half of it to get to a box that's in the back. Don't be that guy, unless you know you'll never need anything you're putting inside. Do Your Homework Now we're going to focus on how you can find storage buildings, as opposed to at-home storage boxes sealed boxes that you can't access when you want to go get your Christmas lights. First, don't get stuck on the storage facility closest to your home. Here are some things to do before you even pick up the phone. Don't get stuck on ...

Secure Storage Units

Whether you’re a veteran in the business or a first-timer, it can be rather easy to overlook important factors when it comes to renting storage. One thing that should be priority when searching for the reasonably-priced and most conveniently located units is the security of the facility you are renting from. Of all the things that happen in daily life, it will alleviate a lot of stress not having to worry about the wellbeing of your belongings. So how do you know if a storage facility is safe and secure? The most ideal way would be to go and actually tour the facility before you commit to renting. Look around the grounds to see what kind of lighting there will be at night and ask about security features that are in place such as fences and video surveillance. If there is a gate system, talk to the manager and understand thoroughly how it works. Although these electronic features are important, location is also big factor to take into consideration so keep in mind what kind of neighborhoods are nearby. Certainly life doesn’t always cooperate and you might not be able to tour the facility beforehand; however, you can do a lot of the research online by searching for testimonials and reviews on facilities in your area. Doing so may make aware of incidents in some areas you may want to avoid, while also informing you of which facility owners you will have a better experience working with. For some people, these type of features might be the deciding factor. Some might even pay a little more or drive further to have the satisfaction of knowing their valuables are secure. These are just a couple factors to consider while choosing which storage is right for you! If you have any questions about storage security, contact us now!. ...

Storage Unit Autopay

Have you ever wanted to set up an automatic payment plan but have been hesitant because you have never done it before? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Anyone who has set up an AutoPay plan can tell you that it can be scary the first time, but in reality, it’s extremely beneficial and secure. Here are 4 reasons why: Reduced risk of identity theft. Many people believe paper bills are safer than electronic payments. However, experts say a paper bill sitting in a mailbox with your name and account number is actually putting yourself at a higher risk for identity theft than electronic payment. Lower cost. Checks, stamps, ATMS and your time - four things that are not free. However, AutoPay is. Paper billing is spending more money for less convenience. Stay on time. Late payments occasionally decrease your credit score and late fees are no fun either. Autopay allows effortless and timely payments. Peace of mind. You never have to miss a payment and you can add ‘stress’ to the list of things you won’t miss when you set up automatic payments. Your amount that you have to pay will automatically come out on the same day of your choice each month. Setting up automatic payments at your storage facility will allow you to worry less and keep you from jolting out of bed in the morning when you realize you forgot to pay for your storage unit. Although AutoPay is convenient and secure, it may not be for everyone. If you don’t have a bank account or your income is very irregular, it may not be the ideal payment system for you. Consider these things before setting up an AutoPay plan. Bald Eagle Storage is proud to over autopay as an option at all of our locations. We realize this is a huge time saving convenience for our customers. Give us a call today and one of our representatives will help you setup your storage unit account on autopay. ...
