The best way to ensure a good self storage experience is to plan ahead.
Gather up sturdy boxes, paper, markers and tape. Box
similar things together so they're easy to find in your unit in the
future. Make sure your boxes are all a uniform size so they'll stack
easily.
Fill your boxes tightly, but don't overfill them—bulky boxes make for
bad stacking. Don't underfill them, either, or they might buckle under
the weight of other boxes. Fill any empty spaces with your bubble wrap
or paper. Follow these self storage tips to best preserve Aunt Edna's
