So if you’re feeling that anxiety and stress are starting to kick in, know that it is the right time to call us or fill out the quote form on our website.

We’ll alleviate all that unnecessary moving stress and help you have the best relocation experience ever. Our team consists of experienced movers who handle all kinds of items daily. Whether you have loads of fragile or bulky pieces, they are all safe while in our hands. Our goal is to keep our clients coming back because we know that, just like us, they also won’t stop moving.

With years of experience in this industry, and as people who also moved quite a few times, we realized a long time ago that renting storage is often an inevitable part of every relocation. The vast majority of our clients opt for this service because it is convenient and eases the relocation process. In case this is your first ever relocation, consider taking the advice of more experienced movers, and just take that extra space.

Cross Country Movers Give You 30 Days of Free Storage

We are aware that people are suspicious when they see that something is free. Unfortunately, there are so many fraudulent companies in this industry that people are somewhat used to the fact that if something is offered to them for free, there has to be some catch, a hidden fee that is waiting around the corner or some extra charges that will pop up additionally. However, we strive to do our business entirely transparently, and you’ll only pay the price we give you, nothing more.

We give the first 30 days entirely free for all of our clients, without any obligation to continue using and paying for it after those 30 days expire. It is like a free trial that gives you more time to figure out your living arrangement options and prepare everything for the unboxing day. If you want, you can continue using our facilities longer. The price is based on the amount of stuff you have and the length of renting, so make sure to contact us to get more precise information for your case.

Why Should You Rent Storage?

Out of all moving-related services, storage is the one often neglected by our clients, that is, until they realize last-minute that they might need it after all because their new home is not ready yet. Even if you’re not making a long-distance move, or you want to use it just for a week or for months, it is always handy to have a booked storage to count on, which is why Cross Country Movers have a special offer for the first 30 days.

Why We Recommend Using the Storage Service for Long-Distance Moves

Let’s focus on those of you who are relocating for the first time. Whether it’s for work, love, fun, or anything else, you’ve never done it before, and it is safe to say that you don’t have a clue of what’s ahead of you. So far, you’ve probably figured out that it is hard to manage to move out one day and move in the next. If your lease expires, let’s say, a few days before you can move into your new home, in the best-case scenario, what are you going to do in the meanwhile?

Sure, you can spend a few days at a friend’s place or go to a hotel, but what about all your stuff? And what if you’re moving into a smaller home and there’s not enough room for everything, or you want to do a bit of remodeling and renovating before unpacking everything? That is when having a place to store your belongings can be the most convenient out of all options and save the day. Perhaps you didn’t plan it. Maybe you thought you wouldn’t have to use it, but if at the end of the day, you realize it’s better to have that extra space waiting for you. Feel free to contact us and fill out the free quote form on our website.

All Pros, No Cons

Whether you’re still busy house-hunting or doing job interviews, your goods will be safe in our hands until you decide you need them again. Therefore, it is safe to say that investing in this service hardly comes with any cons.

As a company specialized in cross country moving and long-distance moves, we are happy to offer our clients a full package, that is, every possible service they might need when relocating. Why struggle and do things on your own? There’s no reason to rent a truck or bother your friends to help with packing when you can hire professionals who can do it faster and better. Whether you have a one-bedroom apartment to move or a 5000-square-foot house, some of these services might come in handy:

• Car shipping – In case you’re relocating long-distance and don’t want to drive for hours, we can safely ship your vehicle across the country in an open or enclosed truck trailer.

Things You Should Know Before Leaving Your Belongings in Storage

Like relocations are not stressful enough, leaving all of your belongings or a part of them somewhere else is not always easy to do. We’ve all heard stories about fraudulent companies that keep their clients’ goods hostage until they pay more. This is not something you should worry about when moving interstate with us. To ensure you’re well prepared for moving across the country, we decided to share with you some tips and things you should know when interstate moving.

Create an Inventory List

In case you plan to leave some things stored for a while, make sure to create a detailed inventory list of what’s inside your containers, boxes, etc because you’ll certainly forget it. It is not enough to just label your containers. You really should make a list of its contents so you can know what’s where. You’ll be surprised how quickly you forget about small things like that.

Do I Need to Prepare My Stuff for Storing?

In case you’re packing everything on your own, make sure everything is well wrapped, packed, and protected. Whether you’re using boxes or plastic containers, you should ensure they’re sealed. Another thing is, if you plan to leave your stuff for a while, consider washing all your clothes and using mattress covers and blankets for furniture.

Will My Goods Be Protected From the Bad Weather?

All of our facilities are designed to protect all stored items from outdoor influences such as bad weather, temperature changes, and so on. In such climate-controlled conditions, your goods will be safe and sound for as long as you want them to stay there.

Are There Any Items That I’m Not Allowed to Store?

Just like with shipping, we strive to fulfill all of our clients’ requests, unless they go against our safety regulations. So just like there are some things we can’t move, such as live plants, perishable foods, flammables, potentially dangerous items and so on, there are some things we can’t store. In case you are not sure about a specific item or a category, feel free to contact us and discuss everything with our agents in-depth.

Is My Stuff Insured?

From the moment our movers pack and load your goods into our truck, they are covered with basic liability insurance. However, if you have any valuables, fragile items, or electronics, we always advise you to opt for additional full value replacement insurance coverage, because sometimes accidents do happen. Keep in mind that we only insure goods packed by our movers.

Is It Better to Use a Plastic Container Instead of Boxes?

Among different packaging options, when it comes to storing things for a while, see-through plastic containers are a much better solution than cardboard boxes. They’ll provide better protection for your goods, but also, you can actually see what is inside these containers without opening them. That’s perfect in case you forgot to create an inventory list. Also, a plastic container can always be reused since boxes tend to deform and deteriorate quickly.

Should I Disassemble Furniture?

Yes. This is something our movers do for our clients before loading furniture into our truck. Every piece of bulky furniture should be disassembled as much as possible. It will help you protect it better by wrapping specific parts individually and prevent premature wear and tear.

Should I Downsize?

Whether you’re relocating to a new smaller home or not, this is always an excellent opportunity to downsize and get rid of unnecessary stuff. Why pay additional services for things you won’t use anyway? Many clients realize that only after they leave certain things in store for months, and figure out that they can live without them. So before you opt for this service, go through your inventory list and check if there’s something you could get rid of.
