Everybody always seems to have advice for people getting married, having a baby and, of course, moving. All three life changing events can cause a fair amount of stress. SMARTBOX can help you with the moving part. Here are five moving tips that can make a stressful situation just a little easier to deal with.

Follow these tips and you will avoid much of the headaches that moving can cause:

1. Start Early – As soon as you know you are moving, start organizing and packing. It is never too early.

2. Have a moving checklist – Create a list with clearly defined deadlines and follow it.

3. Create priority boxes for every room – This will make your un-packing so much better. You will have easy access to all the essential items you will need right away.

4. If you don’t need it, don’t pack it – Throw away or donate items that you know you no longer need.

5. Call SMARTBOX – As soon as you know you are moving, give us a call. If you are making a long distance move or moving around the block, we will help you through the entire process.

One of the greatest moving boxes ever created was the wardrobe box. What a simple but ingenious design. Because they are designed to carry a lot of weight, wardrobe boxes are double-walled which makes them twice as strong as any other moving box. The wardrobe bar is metal which will support all the weight of your clothes.

Moving with wardrobe boxes is a simple process. Grab your hanging clothes from your closet and hang them in the wardrobe box. There is usually a bit of room at the bottom that you can put shoes in too. Most wardrobe boxes are large enough to fit almost an entire standard closet of clothes in. (Not your walk-in closet variety.)

Don’t throw away your wardrobe boxes after you move! These boxes are perfect for long term storage for seasonal clothes.

At SMARTBOX, we are committed to helping you through every phase of your move. We offer packing supplies and will deliver them with your SMARTBOX containers to your home at your convenience.

You will know exactly what your moving costs will be before you pack the first box—guaranteed! Because we know that moving long distance can be stressful, you will have a single point of contact at SMARTBOX to answer your questions and help you through all the phases of your move.

When you are ready, we will deliver your moving and storage containers with all of your packing materials right to your door. Just call us when you are finished packing and we will pick up your boxes. And if your move requires the need for temporary storage we can take care of that for you. Your containers will be safe in our state-of-the-art, temperature controlled, secure warehouses until you are ready for them.

There are two types of self storage warehouses. The first type is self storage and the second type is portable storage.

Self storage requires that the customer drive down with their belongings and store them in an assigned unit. We have all probably used self storage at some point in our lives. Yes, mini storage provides a place to store items temporarily when you need it, but is it worth it? Half the time, you don’t want to drive the distance to get what you want from your storage unit, so you don’t.

Portable storage, on the other hand, is designed so that the container comes to the customer. Once the container has been packed with customer’s belongings at the customer’s pace, the portable storage company picks it up and stores it in their facility. If you prefer, you can store your belongings on site rather than in a warehouse.

Homeowners and businesses should take advantage of the convenience of portable storage. If you need to store something, you should use portable storage. All storage units are not created equal. Look for the SMART storage solution, look for SMARTBOX.

Do you need to store some stuff? Portable temporary storage is the perfect solution for people remodeling their homes or businesses who have extra inventory. SMARTBOX will deliver a container to your home or business and you can fill it up and leave it on site for as long as you need to.

If you don’t have a lot of extra outside storage space, it is not a problem because your SMARTBOX will fit into a standard parking space. Your SMARTBOX is only five feet wide which means you can squeeze into a lot of different spaces. It is easy to load your box because each storage container sits only six inches off of the ground. And don’t worry, your belongings are safe. Each box has one large swinging door that is secured by two butterfly clamps and a sliding hasp built to hold a padlock or combination lock.

SMARTBOX provides SMART solutions for temporary storage and moving.
