Traditional furniture storage vs. Self-storage at Shurgard - what's the difference?
Traditional furniture storage
We all know how traditional furniture storage works:
- The removal company stacks your boxes and furniture into a sealed container.
- You have no access to your belongings. In order to access your belongings, you have to call the mover and make an appointment. This may result in additional costs.
- You are bound by a fixed-term contract.
Conclusion:
If you do not need access to your belongings, traditional furniture storage might be a suitable option.
