There are two different types of indoor storage choices. If you opt for climate controlled units, then you can rest assured that the outside elements will not affect the products. Or files you are storing. However, if you choose a non-climate controlled unit, then there is the possibility that whatever you are storing will be affected over time. There are many options for small business storage units. However, you will want to speak with the manager in regards to what will work best for your needs.

Power inside the storage units

Do not expect to find electrical outlets in your small business storage units. Lights are mainly in the hallways. In most cases, to enter the long hallway of units it is necessary to enter your code at the door. Then find your unit. After that remove your lock from your storage unit. Managers do not have access to your keys. Therefore, it is pertinent that you keep up with your keys to ensure you can always get into your unit. However, many managers of small business storage units are very helpful, Many will assist you with whatever needs you may have.

The main reason most facilities do not provide the power outlets or lights inside the storage units is because they can easily spark fires. Hence cause great damage. To avoid this risk, most facilities are simply built without having power sources on inside the unit. However, you may find some units that are specifically built with the power sources. These are very rare, however.

Other types of small business storage units.

Drive up storage units differ in the aspect that there is not a hallway to enter. There is usually no air conditioning or heater. The only light that will shine in your unit comes from the lights that are for security purposes on the property. These units are very similar to a regular garage. All units typically have a roll-up door. If you are storing company documents, samples, supplies,. Also anything else that may degrade, then it is a better option to opt for a climate controlled unit.

Getting the best deal on your small business storage units needs

It is important to remember that each storage facility varies on what they have to offer. The manager of the facility often dictates what extras they can provide to you. For instance, rental deals, move-in specials, or discounts on your small business storage units. Although, they can not provide you with electricity, if it is not already built into the unit.

Therefore, it is wise to call around to as many storage facilities before simply choosing the cheapest or closest one to you. It will take a little bit of time. However, in the end, you will be glad that you interviewed multiple facilities before entrusting your goods to just any facility. It is important to remember that your products are only being stored at the facility. They are not protected by the facility. However, many storage properties utilize cameras on the premises to better protect every renter's security and property.

To ensure you have enough light to see in your unit, it is best to visit your unit during the daytime. Make sure you choose an indoor storage unit that comes equipped with electricity. If one is available. This will help ensure that you can freely move around your unit. Easily find what you are looking for. It is also important to remember that not all storage facilities are open 24 hours a day. Therefore, if you need to enter and exit your unit at odd hours, then it is best to pick a facility that is designed solely for this purpose.

Using your units after hours

Most facilities are gated. Many have onsite managers present on the premises. However, this does not mean that the manager is always available to you. They work according to a schedule just like every other business. At the end of the day they retire to their home on the premises. Although, as I have previously stated, it depends on the manager in reference to what perks you will receive. Also how much they are willing to do after hours.

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.

Just remember that you must call around as well as visit the property to ensure that you will get everything you are looking for. It is helpful to know that there are many facilities that are part of the same company. But each facility is different. Therefore, you will want to visit each property. Regardless of if you have already checked out their other properties.

Needing a source of power inside your unit

If you require electricity in your storage unit, then make sure you ask the manager up front. They will probably want to know what you need electricity for. More than likely they will remind you that the unit is for storage not living. As previously stated, you will get what you pay for when it comes to storage. Although, this does not mean that you will be able to use the electricity on a daily basis. Simply because you pay top dollar for your unit. After all, electricity is a luxury that not every facility has to offer.

If a storage facility does offer electricity, then it is often for tenants to be able to turn a light on in their unit. Therefore, do not expect to find electrical outlets in every unit. More often than not, there are not even outlets in the hallways or on the premises. Although, there may be an outlet located somewhere on the premises. That is to ensure that the manager has access to power whenever necessary. Nonetheless, these outlets are not normally for customer use.

Other needs

If you need power to charge a personal device, then more than likely you can ask the manager of the property if you can use one in the office. Once again, the answer will vary from manager to manager. As well as facility to facility. Some storage facilities are much more accommodating then the others. While others tend to have a more corporate attitude. In all honesty, the more corporate a storage business is, the less you can expect the manager to bend the rules per say.

More options for your small business storage needs

If you can not find what you are looking for in your local area, then make sure you call outside of your immediate area. You may not want to travel. However, it is better to know that your needs are met and your property is secure at all times. If you must travel further than desired, then try to look at it as a break from work. This will help make the trip that much easier. If you call the manager in advance they will more than likely assist you so you can get in and out of your unit as quickly as possible.
