I'm very pleased with the service from Br Movers, These guys walked me through the whole process answered all questions I had. They told me all the charges up front how long it would take. Basically took good care of me. The move was completely stress free! It was also awesome that I was able to book them kind of last minute (about 2 days before I was going to move). THANK YOU!! ...read more

Three very important words separate 1-800-PACK-RAT from its competitors: Climate controlled facilities. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that outside temperatures can adversely affect the contents stored in a traditional non climate controlled storage unit. However, in our 1-800-PACK-RAT facilities, our ability to regulate the temperatures protects contents in any kind of weather – hot or cold. With spring upon us, one might think that we need no longer think about the weather affecting contents stored in a self storage unit. However, extreme heat – like that associated with the summer months – also affects contents stored in traditional storage units. Here are a few benefits of storing items in a climate controlled facility. • When storing leather or wood furniture, extreme temperatures can harm leather and cause wood to warp. • Classic car collectors prefer the climate controlled facilities to preserve their pride and joy. • Family heirlooms that have already survived decades of dust, mildew and moisture, are often very fragile and one season of extreme heat or cold could easily destroy them. • It is a good idea to keep clothing and bedding in a climate controlled self storage space. Humidity can cause a musty smell in these items, and that can be difficult to get rid of. This is also a good opportunity to remind our customers that our all-steel containers protect items against moisture. • Photographs, 45s, and LP albums are very sensitive to temperatures and need to be put in a climate controlled self storage unit. • Musical instruments are another example of things that need to be put in a climate controlled self storage space. Pianos, guitars, and harps need a fairly constant temperature to assure their well-being. These are just a few benefits of 1-800-PACK-RAT’s climate controlled facilities and just another way of “Thinking Outside of the Box.” Source: Storageblog.com ...read more

Food storage – not just for kitchens anymore! A kitchen is where one would typically find food. But would you believe that self-storage facilities, like 1-800-PACK-RAT are often utilized by religious organizations, shelters and even private individuals such as caterers to store food? Some churches, temples and synagogues that provide meals to the homeless, host senior programs or even summer feeding programs for youth, often need extra space to store items like canned goods, grains and other non-perishable food items. Also, some food storage clients prefer second floor or higher at a self storage facility to keep the food away from rodents. You will love our climate controlled environment for your precious foods. Just another way to “think outside the box.” ...read more
