Storage for Newborn – De-Cluttering

You are probably planning to put in a nursery, but now you see you don’t have much room.

The reality is you may have enough room in your home. However, you’ve got so much stuff it is hard to make room for the nursery. This is one thing a self-storage can offer: space. All expecting parents have to do is clean house by donating what they don’t need. Throw away any trash, and place things they don’t use often in a storage unit.

Room Evolution

Sometimes, a parent has to change a room completely in order to prepare it for the baby. Depending on what you are doing, it may be necessary to empty out a room completely.

A self-storage unit will give you a place to put things temporarily. This will give you the freedom to remodel or rework in order to install carpet or paint. This storage unit cannot only hold the stuff in the room but also things you’ve already bought for you baby. There is no need to crowd the hallway in the house or some other room because all you need is a little extra space.

Storage for Newborn – A Changing Need

As expecting parents, you are probably getting a lot of gifts and buying all sorts of things. You might stop at a thrift store or some other interesting store and find things that might be great for your bundle of joy.

The thing is, sometimes you find stuff that your baby won’t need for some time. You do not want these things to clutter up your baby’s nursery. You can keep all your precious finds in a good storage facility. Trade things as your baby grows up and his or her needs continue to change.

Spread the Expense

Parents have all sorts of expenses when expecting a baby. As much as you want to have everything ready, you also know that money doesn’t grow on trees, so getting prepared in a short period of time can be financially straining.

There is a solution though; you can simply buy bulk items before hand, and use a storage unit to have everything in place. This way you can spread bigger expenses over the course of a long period of time to avoid stretching out your wallet too thinly. That is a pretty sweet deal, so do not hesitate.

Box-n-Go is a mobile storage company. Unlike traditional storage companies, we deliver storage units to the customer. We leave them with the customer for a few days so they can pack at their convenience, and once they’re done, we come back, pick up the units, and store them at our secure, centrally located warehouse. Once in the warehouse, your belongings are accessible to you seven days a week. Access is free — all you need to do is give us a call, and we’ll move your units to the access area, where you can drive right up to them and do whatever you need to do.

Customer: I was doing extensive research online. After I read customer reviews, I checked out the rates, which were very competitive — in many cases better than anyone else out there. I placed my order online, and within 48 hours my containers were delivered to me. I was honestly surprised how much stuff fit into the container. Overall, the experience was wonderful. I honestly would recommend it to anybody.

Storage for Newborn – The Rejects

Everyone you know is pretty excited for you, and they are probably going to try to show you somehow. Sometimes, they might give you a gift that you’ll definitely appreciate but don’t necessarily love.

You do not want to throw gifts like these away. But you really aren’t going to use them, and you do not want them cluttering up your nursery. At this point, a self storage can come in handy for you. You get to put all those unwanted gifts away without hurting anyone’s feelings. You can keep them there until the time is right to find a new home for them if needed, or just keep them for sentimental reasons.

Where Memories Rest

A good self-storage has a number of little features that customers love, like climate control. This is important because it can help prevent mold, which could damage your possessions. It can also keep bugs away, which can be a problem in some storage facilities.

You do not want bugs to invade your precious things, especially because those belongings represent memories. Your baby is going to grow, and you are probably going to want to keep your baby’s belongings. These are things you get to pass down or can show your child when he or she is grown. You are going to love showing pictures, toys, and clothes to everyone. Your storage unit is going to make it easier to preserve those memories and keep them safe.

Storage for Newborn – Beyond the Nursery

There is a lot going on in your baby’s nursery, but that is not the only aspect of your home that is transforming before your baby arrives. You may also decide to start baby proofing your home.

This requires some work, and it requires observation, ensuring you don’t miss a single detail. Some things are easy like plugging up electrical sockets. But some things are a little more complicated, especially as your baby grows up. You are going to want to get rid of sharp edges and tall shelves that are not secured to the wall. What you want to do is place all items you feel are dangerous in a self storage unit until your baby is a little older. Then, you can put them back in place.

Peace of Mind

As an expecting parent, you probably have a lot going on in your mind. You have to prepare a lot of things in your home to get ready and ensure your home is safe. There is a lot to take care of, and it could feel overwhelming.

You are not alone in this because you probably won’t find a parent who did not feel overwhelmed as you do now. Having a good storage unit gives you peace of mind by giving you some of the aforementioned benefits. It may not seem like much, but the truth is any peace you can get is going to mean the world to you. Your family will also value this peace as it helps the whole family.

Keep in mind that most storage facilities offer insurance to customers on top of all the security perks you get, such as 24/7 surveillance and access to the unit at all times. These are just some of the benefits you can get by having a storage unit now that you are expecting a little bundle of joy.

What Our Customers Think

With any storage facility, my concerns are, number one, safety and theft of my items — how well are they going to be cared for? Are they going to be damaged, shaken around, especially in a pod? Then also ease of access — it’s not like a roll-up-door storage locker where you can just go and get in; it has to be brought out. And I thought, boy, all that moving around, it’s going to be a wreck. And cost, and so on. And then, working with the people there — how easy is that going to be?

I was very pleased with the service. When I first packed up, I didn’t order enough pods, and here I am in the middle of moving, on a deadline — I have to fly out across the Pacific, so it’s not like I can wait around. I needed more pods. They delivered me more pods on the spot, and I packed them up.

Over the years — and I’ve been here quite a few years, because I moved from the mainland to Hawaii, and now from Hawaii to Panama — I’ve had these storage lockers for years. I went from four to three, three to two, and now two to one. Every time I’ve had to come here or contact them, they’re Johnny-on-the-spot, so accommodating. When I call in to make my payments, I almost feel like I work here now, because I know everybody so well. They’re very understanding and easy to work with.

I’ve had other storage lockers — this is the best experience I’ve ever had. That’s why I’ve been here so long. My kids are already saying they’re going to use Box-n-Go when they move. You don’t think your stuff’s going to be in storage that long, but it is. And with all the ins and outs of the pods, nothing has ever been damaged. Not one thing. So I’m very pleased. Very pleased.

If you’re going to be out of state, your stuff’s secure, it’s taken care of, it’s not deteriorating. We had a leather saddle in there for years — I said to my husband, it’s going to be full of mold, even your shoes get moldy when they’re locked up. We took it out — it’s perfect. It’s temperature controlled, all of it. I couldn’t be happier. I would definitely recommend them. I have recommended them.

This was the first time I was renting storage. My first concerns were: where was the storage place, and was it safe? I’m putting all my valuables and keepsakes — things that are really important to me — so it was really important that they felt safe, that the company was a real company I trusted. Also the cost — how much was it going to be? I didn’t want to have to worry, while I’m out traveling, about being hit with all these fees on top of it, or weird things. So those were the main concerns.

What surprised me the most — there are so many things I could say, but I guess just how easy it was. I had no idea. The whole process was very easy. When I moved everything, the box came to me, I put everything in there — it was just so simple and affordable. And then even getting into my storage: because I decided to keep traveling a little bit longer, it was super easy just to drop in, take stuff out or put some in. It was just so easy. And I felt very safe. So it totally blew my expectations of what I thought storage would be, because it’s just been very pleasant.

I recommend them all the time to many people — mostly because I feel safe, I feel like my storage is in a safe place, and just because of how easy and affordable this whole process has been.

When I first called Box-n-Go, I spoke to Frank, and he was very thorough with the information I needed — sizes, prices and rates, the contract based on the number of months, any specials. I thought, wow, he’s giving me everything; I’m not really having to ask. I liked that a lot — the information was provided up front. I told him I’d take everything, look through it, do some research, and come back to him. But I pretty much knew everything he’d said made sense, and I felt really comfortable with him. He was oriented toward good customer service, just on point. I had nothing in my mind that said I wanted to look any further.

I did some searches and Box-n-Go came up. I’d talked to some other people before, but when I got to Box-n-Go I was just like, “You know what? I’ve made my decision.” I had no hesitation about going with anyone else.

The container came to my home, and it was exactly the size I thought it was — no surprises, no “this is too big, this is too small.” I put everything in it, it got picked up, everything was on schedule, exactly as Frank had said. I was definitely pleased.

I really liked working with Frank. He was my point person the whole time I had my storage. I’d call him, he remembered me, and he made every attempt to be on point with everything. When I’d come to the storage facility to check on things — take some out, put some in — he was always there, friendly. And there were the two Stans; customer service was great, the warehouse guys were great. Everyone was friendly, no one was rude, no one was lost or disappeared. They helped me move stuff in, they helped me move stuff out. It was great — even though I was taking my stuff out of storage.

I would recommend them to everyone. So kudos to Frank, the two Stans, the warehouse guys, and Box-n-Go in general.

Your life is definitely going to be changing. But the change is going to feel great, especially after taking care of any space issues you might be facing with a good storage unit. Do not hesitate to talk to a storage unit specialist about any questions you might have regarding some of the benefits mentioned or anything about the storage unit itself. The specialist will have the answers you seek.
