One of the things I like about working in the moving industry is the fact that we help people. At a basic level, we help our clients to move their possessions but many times we help them when they're stuck with difficult decisions.
About a year ago, one lady was stuck over moving all of her belongings from her home to a new apartment. She was an elderly lady with her family grown up and living elsewhere, and she and her husband had decided to sell their home of 35 years to move to a more manageable place. The problem was they had gathered so much stuff over those 35 years that there wasn't enough room in their apartment for it all. So, what to do?
The answer to the problem is storage and there are two avenues you can take in this regard: you can either find a self-storage facility or avail of storage services provided by your moving company.
At Sage, we see storage as a vital service for those clients who need space to leave items before finally finding a place for them or finally deciding what to do with them. In the meantime, the items are kept safe in facilities that are not only secure but air-conditioned and temperature-controlled to prevent mould and damp causing damage.
The elderly lady had boxes and boxes of memories that she wasn't ready to let go of (her children's old toys and books and other things of sentimental value). By leaving them in storage, she and her husband could concentrate on actually moving and settling in before turning their attention to other things.
She took the option to store with us and after a few months moved her things out again. She was smiling when I saw her then, so she must have been happy with how things had worked out - which was a bonus for me!
