Transportation is the progress of people and goods from one place to another and there’s no hesitation that moving into storage can be expensive. Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline, and space.
At the same time the more apparent costs are related to vehicle rentals and removalist hire, the most overlooked cost is the damage to your furniture during transportation.
No matter how good your removalists may be, you’re inevitably exposed to the risk of damage to your belongings whilst being loaded to and unloaded from a truck.
If you’re moving into storage, your furniture will have been handled 4 times – loading at your property and unloading at the storage facility. At the end of the storage term, the process is the same (except in reverse).
Damage can also occur during transportation. This is because your goods often shift during transit on the way to the storage facility.
For example, mobile storage providers often deliver portable storage containers that are often tilted when delivered and redelivered to your property.
The way to avoid damage to your belongings during transportation is the use of adequate packing supplies.
It’s only natural to try and avoid as many costs as possible during a move into a self-storage facility, people often forget (or ignore) the need to purchase adequate packing supplies.
Packing supplies ensure that your goods are well protected during transportation to and from the storage facility.

Packing supplies consist of various protective items which include:
- Cardboard boxes
- Bubble wrap
- moving blankets
- Harnesses and straps
- packing tapes
Once you’ve committed to the idea of purchasing the right supplies before your move into storage, it can be quite difficult to estimate which supplies are suitable to your needs and how many of each item you might need.
In these circumstances, it may be best to contact your removalist or storage provider for more guidance – they’re the experts!
