Moving can be a stressful and overwhelming process, especially if you are moving into a new storage unit. There are many things to consider logistically when moving into a new storage unit, and that doesn't exclude finding reliable movers.

In this article, we will provide some tips on how to find the right movers for your situation to help you move into your new storage unit.

First, it is important to do your research and shop around for different moving companies. This will give you an idea of the different options available to you and the range of prices that movers charge.

Do you need movers with a truck? Deciding for yourself if you will rent the truck or not will determine whether you need full-service movers.

Sometimes, the storage company will have a moving truck to rent to you for free on move-in as a perk for choosing their facility. Always check with your storage company to see if they have any of these perks available to you.

Bonus: Look for a storage company that has a partnership with a moving service. Many times this can result in a discount to you. For example, "As a welcome to our new tenants moving into Storage Facility XYZ, we offer discounted moving help with ABC Movers!"

After you decide whether or not you need full-service or a labor-only moving company, you then begin asking friends and family for recommendations, as well as searching online for moving companies in your area. For movers, it's especially important to consider their reputation and experience.

Look for companies that have been in business for several years and have a good track record with customers. Be sure to check online reviews and ratings to get a sense of how well the company has performed for other customers. 

Once you have a shortlist of potential moving companies, go ahead and begin getting estimates from each of them. This will give you an idea of the cost of the move and help you compare the different options.

When getting estimates, be sure to provide the movers with detailed information about the items you need to move and the distance between your current location and the new storage unit.

It is also a good idea to visit the storage unit before the move to assess the space and determine the best way to move your belongings. This will help the movers plan the move and ensure that everything fits into the unit.

When choosing movers, make sure to also verify their insurance coverage. Moving can be a risky business, and accidents can happen. Make sure the moving company you choose has insurance to protect your belongings in case of damage or loss.

Once you have chosen a moving company, start preparing for the move. This includes packing your belongings carefully and labeling boxes to make it easier to unpack and organize your items in the new storage unit. It is also a good idea to create a floor plan of the storage unit to help the movers know where to place each item.

On the day of the move, it is important to be organized and prepared. Make sure you have all the necessary supplies, such as boxes, tape, and markers, and be available to answer any questions the movers may have.

Many times, your storage company will have these items available in the leasing office. Don't be afraid to ask for extra tools and equipment like dollies or furniture pads, because they will sometimes also lend these out to new tenants moving in.

All in all, finding movers to help you move into a new storage unit can be a challenging process. However, with some careful research and planning, you can find reliable and experienced movers to make the move easier and less stressful.

Be sure to shop around, get estimates, and consider the movers' reputation and insurance coverage when making your decision. And remember to pack and organize your belongings carefully to make the most of your new storage unit.
