Moving abroad, whether to our from the UK, is something that appeals to the masses! For those taking the leap, it can be a very exciting time, but with so much to consider, it can easily become stressful. One of the biggest issues is what to do with all your belongings when you emigrate. Sometimes, it’s just not feasible to bring everything with you. This is where container self storage plays an invaluable part in alleviating logistical issues from your move.

Less Clutter

In this instance, less is certainly more! Often, it’s a lot more cost effective to sell, donate or store non-essential items to avoid the expense of taking it overseas with you. Think of your new home and make a list of the items you will definitely need and what would room they would live in. There are many items that you will be able to find in your new country of residence, so it’s worth making your job easier long term. Clear out or utilise container self storage for what you don’t need to take with you.

Decreases Your Shipping Fee

Shipping items abroad can be expensive. By using container self storage, you’ll potentially be saving money! Once you’ve decided what you’re taking and what you’re not, you can start pricing things up. Bigger household items will usually be shipped by air or sea. Reputable shipping companies have calculators to provide quotes based on the items you’re shipping and the distance they will be travelling. Obviously, prices vary based on the volume and location, but sometimes, it’s more cost-effective to fill an entire shipping container than to have bits and bobs sent out separately.
