Using Self Storage for a New Office
Posted by admin on Dec 4, 2008
It is generally a positive thing when a business decides to move to a new office or open up an additional branch office in a new location. It often means that the business is progressing and growing. However, even a successful business does not have a lot of extra money lying around to spend on cubicles and furniture for a new office. Unfortunately, though, it can be difficult to save money on office furniture. That is, unless if you use self storage for your move.
When they do not use self storage, the way most businesses choose to open a branch office or move their current office can waste a lot of money. Instead of playing it smart with self storage, companies simply sell off their old office furniture and cubicles, and buy it all again when they get to their new location. And while this may seem simpler than self storage, the truth is that it is not. In actuality, it is generally the more pricey option, not better one.
How, though, does self storage save a company money when they move to a new office? The answer is simple: by avoiding low resell returns. When you move from one office to another, the price you will receive from both furniture companies and individual buyers on your used office furniture will be just a fraction of its worth. Even if it has not seen much use, and is (for all intents and purposes) new, you will lose a large amount of money when you try to resell it.
But self storage can really cut down costs For example, to purchase four new cube units for an office can cost you anywhere from $2,500 to upwards of $10,000. However, if you choose to use self storage for your existing furniture, you will be able to use your existing office furniture. All you need to do is have somebody load your office furniture, etc., into your self storage unit. When your company is ready to move into its new space, the self storage unit will be delivered, allowing you to easily unload and use your old furniture and equipment.
You can also cut down costs with self storage when you open up an additional office in a new location. The truth is, many companies use only about 70% of their current cubicles and furniture. Rather than simply purchasing all you need for a new office, you can save money by collecting your current unused furniture and placing it in self storage. And when your new office space is all set, you have enough inventory that you will only need to buy what is absolutely necessary… and since the self storage unit itself is so cheap to rent and use, your final savings are considerable.
This is a helpful blog.

I will visit this site again.
I got a ton out of this post.
Like a pod, they are self contained units which can be customized to the customer’s requirements.
The terms and conditions for loading and unloading are flexible and hassle free. The self sustenance even covers ready to use cardboard boxes, Styrofoam sheets, bubble plastic and other forms of packing material which are of suitable size to fit the items as well as the pod and provide foolproof safety during transportation. Pods are customizable across the entire range of items to be moved from household good to office cubes. In case a customer has some temperature sensitive goods such as wines or electronic equipment, bio material, Pods come equipped with climate controlled.
Even a small population center will have more boxes available than you will ever need, so place some calls, do a little extra driving, and stock up. The only boxes you will need to buy are specialty boxes like picture boxes and glassware boxes.
(Note that you should avoid using boxes from areas with cockroach or bedbug infestation problems. Both types of insects can infest cardboard boxes, so you may arrive at the end of your move with a problem you didn’t have when you started. Getting used boxes from the grocery store should also be an emergency measure, since even the cleanest grocery store has roaches.
I’ll be back for sure. I love this blog.
We had the same movers who did the heavy lifting a couple days before come to the new place that day and unload the furniture. We slowly unloaded the rest at our leisure, as we got settled in that week. The pods storage guys brought a truck and took the unit away when we finally emptied it. If you are not moving locally, the pods storage company also offers storage units in climate controlled warehouses until you are ready to receive your container.
It was much less stressful and more cost effective to hire pods storage.
Great information. Very helpful stuff here.
Keep the posts coming dude.
, for a small amount of the original purchase price. Even if it has not seen much use, and is (for all intents and purposes) new, you will lose a large amount of money when you try to resell it.
But self storage can really cut down costs For example, to purchase four new cube units for an office can cost you anywhere from $2,500 to upwards of $10,000. But you avoid some of those costs when you use self storage to store and later reuse your current cubicles. You simply load up your existing cubicles, etc.
