Did you know all our Extra Space Asia Self-Storage Hong Kong storage facilities are air-conditioned and dehumidified? Yes, this means the temperature and environment will keep your storage unit cool all day and night. By choosing to store your items in an air-conditioned storage unit, you will be able to enjoy some perks.

  1. Optimal Conditions for Temperature-Sensitive Items

If you have temperature-sensitive items like documents or collectables, it’s crucial to store them in a stable and controlled environment. Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can cause damage or deterioration to your possessions over time. To prevent this, air-conditioned storage units can provide consistent cooling and dehumidification for your cherished possessions. With this protection, you can rest assured that your possessions are safeguarded from extreme conditions.

  1. Improved comfort during storage access

Having a comfortable environment is essential when you need to access your storage unit, whether it’s for personal or business reasons. Air-conditioned storage units offer a more pleasant and comfortable experience for customers. You won’t have to endure sweltering heat or extreme humidity while sorting your belongings or conducting inventory checks. This makes the storage facility more user-friendly and ensures a better overall experience.

  1. Enhanced Cleanliness and Hygiene

Air-conditioned storage units often have improved air quality compared to non-air-conditioned units. The controlled environment helps filter out dust and allergens, making it a cleaner and more hygienic space for your stored items. This is particularly important for items sensitive to dust or allergens, such as clothing, upholstery, and electronics. It also contributes to a healthier environment for customers and staff who may need to stay in the storage facility.

With the current home size, it can be tight when we store all the various personal and family items under one roof. If they do not fit, it might not be wise to purchase a bigger home, too, as it can be very costly with the relocation, renovation and moving costs involved. As such, the idea of renting a self-storage unit might be one option that homeowners can consider. Here are three benefits homeowners can enjoy when they utilise a self-storage unit.

More living space at home

With a storage unit, homeowners can plan to store items they do not require daily. This includes seasonal clothing, luggage, decoration pieces, family items, and even furniture pieces. All of these items take up a lot of space in a home, especially if you live with many family members in the same area. By storing these items in a self-storage unit, you will be able to create more living space at home to walk around and create a less stressful and clutter-free environment.

Temporary storage

If you are planning to rent a space to store your items for a short period, storage providers like Extra Space Asia Self Storage offer storage units for as short as 14 days. This is good for homeowners planning to do a small home renovation or improvement project to spruce up their home. By renting a self-storage unit, they can move their items to the storage unit first to create more space around the home to move around quickly. By renting a self-storage unit, they can also ensure their items are dust-free. This will reduce the time and effort required to clean everything once the renovation is done.

Extra space for personal collection

A self-storage unit will also be a more cost-effective space solution if homeowners plan to downsize their homes for various reasons. One might throw and donate as many things as possible to fit everything into one’s new home. But if they have a personal collection that is precious to them, throwing is not an option if the collection includes pieces worth a lot and limited-edition collectables. By keeping them in a self-storage unit, these homeowners will enjoy a space of their own in a safe and secure storage environment where they can access these collections any time, any day, round the clock. This can also be a short-term and long-term storage solution for these personal collectors.

If you are a homeowner who is new to the idea of self-storage, don’t fret. It is also good to do some research, but if you need extra space to store the items you cannot throw or store in another family/friend’s place, self-storage might be one option you can explore. You can always visit a self-storage facility to look at the space after making a list of items you plan to store, as storage rental is always based on the storage duration and the amount of storage space you rent. Contact Extra Space Asia Self Storage today at 3974 6000 and we will be glad to assist you in making a wise decision before renting your very first storage unit.

Do you have enough space at home to keep everything you desire to store? Are you struggling to create a clutter-free home due to limited space? We understand that it can be hard to create a clutter-free home when space is a constraint. Don’t worry, Extra Space Asia is here to help. Renting a self-storage unit can provide the additional space you need to breathe and live comfortably.

Here are three ways Extra Space Asia can assist you in creating a clutter-free home:

  1. Store your seasonal items and traveling accessories

Seasonal items like bulky winter jackets and luggage can take up valuable storage space at home. By storing these items with Extra Space Asia Self Storage, you can free up wardrobe space for your everyday clothes. Consider using vacuum-sealed bags to reduce the storage space required. Ensure that seasonal items are thoroughly washed and dried before storing them to keep them in good condition. You can also donate clothes you rarely wear to create even more space in your wardrobe.

  1. Store your personal collection

Love collecting toys, figurines, sneakers, photos, or even bicycles? We understand the joy and excitement of scoring that new limited edition collectible. But what about the lack of space? Good news, you don’t have to let the issue of storage hinder your growing collection when you choose to store them at Extra Space Asia.

You can also enjoy the flexibility of upsizing your storage unit any time you need more space.

  1. Store your furniture

Furniture often occupies significant space in a home. If you have furniture pieces that you rarely use, consider selling them or storing them in a self-storage unit. This way, you can still access them when needed, especially if you plan to move to a larger space in the future. Clearing out unnecessary furniture will create more room for you and your family to enjoy.

Did you know that self-storage rental is calculated based on the storage square feet that we rent? To maximise your storage unit efficiently and save on rental costs, carefully plan how to store your furniture. If you’re unsure about the storage space you require, make a list of the items you plan to store and consult with the self-storage team. They can recommend the ideal storage size for your needs.

The idea of eliminating clutters and chaos can be daunting as it takes up quite a lot of time and effort, especially for those living with other family members and kids. Thus, one will need a lot of motivation to start the decluttering process. For a start, consider trying these three steps!

1. Ask your friends and family members for help

We all need second opinions for some matters. In this case, it does not hurt to ask your friends or family members to lend a helping hand and eye to check and see if there is any value or use for the items in your home so that you can plan what to do with them. Schedule a date with your friends and start the process of decluttering. Having an extra pair of hands will also be great if you are on a tight deadline to clear your items for upcoming relocation or renovation plans.

2.Tackle it step by step

If you plan to declutter your home, you can choose your battles of either starting with the space or room with the most clutter to declutter or the room with the least items so you can improve the storage. By choosing your rooms, you can also be mentally prepared to do it and not be too overwhelmed by the mess or things you have to clear.

To eliminate the clutter and chaos, you can also split the various rooms with your family members staying in the same home. In this case, the owner of the room will be the one clearing up their room as they are in a better position to figure out what is needed to throw, donate or keep.

3.Decide what to keep, store, donate and discard

Before packing your home, prepare some trash bags and boxes for items you wish to donate or throw away. Remember to label the bags so that they will be handled correctly. If you need boxes, you can purchase them from Extra Space’s Box Shop.

As for big-ticket items or your growing collections, which you plan to keep, you can explore the idea of renting a self-storage unit. Before storing your items in the storage unit, you can pack all of your items in boxes or transparent plastic cases with labels so that you will know what you will be storing in the storage unit and also be able to estimate the storage size required. The perk of having a storage unit is that you will be able to enjoy more space to grow your collection and more space to enjoy your home with your family.

If you are new to the idea of storage, you can always contact Extra Space Self-Storage at 3974 6000, and we will be glad to assist.

Calling all university students who need extra space! Renting a self-storage unit could be the perfect storage solution for you. There are several reasons why students might need a storage unit during their university life.

Let’s explore the top 3 reasons:

  1. Going home during the school holiday break

During university term breaks, some schools require students to vacate their dorm rooms or off-campus housing. Renting another apartment just for storage can be costly and inconvenient.

For these cases, self-storage is a great storage alternative for these university students to temporarily store their personal items instead of transporting them back to their homes during the university term break period.

Facilities like Extra Space Asia Self-Storage are FSD approved, and their facilities are fully equipped with 24-hour CCTV and personal pin code access. These security features will ensure that students’ valuable items are well-protected and accessible at any time.

  1. Outgrowing your dorm or home space

University accommodations are often on the smaller side, especially in space-constrained countries. With limited living and shared spaces, students may find it challenging to keep an organised living area. Thus, the idea of renting a self-storage unit is great as they can enjoy more space to store items such as their seasonal clothing, luggage, books, and even other personal items.

For students who are studying around Sai Wan and Hung Hom area, they can always find various self-storage providers near their school area. As such, it is important to do some research besides enquiring only about the storage rental cost. Research should include whether the storage provider offers both short-term and long-term duration storage rental and what storage sizes are available, and if there are any university student perks.

Extra Space Asia Self-Storage offers flexible storage plans, allowing students to rent for as short as 14 days to as long as they need, with locker units suitable for luggage and boxes.

  1. Starting a business

For university students, besides studying, some might explore side businesses for extra income and experience. However, their dorm space might be insufficient, hindering their business operations. Renting a self-storage unit near the university or accessible public transportation areas can be a practical solution.

Extra Space Asia Self-Storage provides 24-hour access and fully air-conditioned storage areas, creating a comfortable environment for students to store and retrieve their items, even on hot days. Additionally, some facilities offer space for small packing operations to support their businesses.

For those seeking flexible storage options that allow for upsizing or downsizing based on their evolving needs, consider renting a storage unit at Extra Space Asia Self-Storage. They offer a wide range of storage sizes for both your personal and business storage needs, from 7 sqft to 199 sqft, along with flexible storage terms. To learn more about their storage offerings, feel free to contact them at 3974 6000 or send them a Whatsapp at 63806498.

Packing your personal and home items for the upcoming relocation project? When you have multiple items to pack, using sturdy boxes and labelling them clearly is essential. Here are three box-packing tips to make the process easier:

  1. Fill boxes to capacity but avoid over-packing

Partially filled or over-packed boxes can tip over or collapse when stacked during the move or storage. It’s important to find the right balance. It might also be dangerous to lift the boxes up during the move as the items might fall out due to the heavy weight.

If a box becomes too heavy but still has empty space, you can fill the gaps with packing paper or bubble wrap to prevent items from shifting. This will ensure that the items do not move around during the moving process.

  1. Use sturdy and high-quality storage boxes 

When relocating, there are bound to be plenty of items that you will have to pack for the move. Opt for sturdy, good-quality storage boxes to ensure your items remain in good condition throughout the moving process. Consider using double-ply boxes for added durability.

If you are using a moving service company, you can always check in with them to see if they offer complimentary boxes and packing materials to pack your items. This will be more convenient as you do not need to purchase from another place and incur additional delivery charges to deliver the packing items to you.

When packing items with multiple parts, dismantle them and store the smaller parts in boxes. Double-tape the box’s base to ensure that it is strong enough to hold the items in the box.

  1. Protect all fragile items with bubble wrap and packing materials 

Safeguard delicate glassware and furniture pieces by wrapping them in bubble wrap or packing materials. These extra layers of protection will help prevent damage during the move and storage.

For items like photos, place them in plastic containers to keep them safe. As these items are made of paper, they can be easily destroyed by water damage. Thus, by storing them in a tight plastic container, not only will you be able to see the content easily, it will also protect them from water damage. Another perk about clear containers is that you will be able to see the content clearly. In this case, you can also try to organise the photos by indicating the year and photo details on the boxes for reference. If you plan to store these temperature-sensitive items, besides storing them in an air-conditioned storage unit, it would be good to also let your self-storage provider know so that they can advise you further if needed.

For items that are odd shapes that do not fit into any boxes, you can use bubble wrap with stretch film to protect them during the relocation process.

How to store your boxes in a storage unit?

Planning to move these boxes to a storage unit? Remember to label them so that you do not need to open up all of the boxes just to find one item. When stacking the boxes, start with heavy or bulky boxes to create a solid base. To maximise space, try to stack similar-sized boxes together. This organisation will make accessing items in the future much more convenient.

If you need more sturdy boxes or packing materials like tape and bubble wrap, you can always visit any Extra Space Asia Self Storage facility located in Hung Hom and Sai Wan to purchase them in their box shop. The box shop is open during the storage facility’s operation hours from Monday to Saturday, 10am to 7pm. Feel free to visit, and the staff on duty will be glad to assist you. If you would like to learn more about the various self-storage solutions that Extra Space Asia offers, you can always send them a Whatsapp at 63806498 or contact them at 3974 6041.

Are you starting or expanding your e-commerce business? As you navigate the initial phase and plan for growth, it’s essential to have an effective inventory storage plan.

While storing inventory at home may work for smaller quantities, a self-storage facility can provide the space you need for larger stock volumes. When selecting a self-storage facility for your business, consider these three important factors:

  1. Self-storage brand and location

With numerous storage providers available in Hong Kong, it is important to narrow down your options. Research self-storage providers near your business location to find one that offers convenient access for storing, retrieving, and restocking your items.

If you are not sure where to start, you can walk around your area to have a look. For example, if you are staying in the Sai Wan area, you can visit buildings like Hong Kong Industrial Building and check out all of the self-storage providers in the building. This will save you time on traveling from storage company A to storage company B.

It is important to store with a company that is reputable and trustworthy as you are storing all of your business inventory with them. You would not want to worry all the time about losing your goods or losing your money once you have chosen a storage facility to store your items.

  1. Storage amenities and features

When researching storage options, it is important to note that some providers require booking appointments before visiting their facilities. These facilities may be predominantly unmanned, so contacting them in advance is necessary. However, for customers, this can be inconvenient if immediate assistance is required.

To ensure a smooth experience, it’s recommended to personally visit the storage facility before committing to a unit. This visit will give you an idea of the facility’s offerings. For example, at Extra Space Asia Self-Storage facilities, you’ll find FSD-approved premises with staff available during operation hours from Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm. This provides peace of mind, knowing that your items are secure. Moreover, unlike facilities that provide hard copy access cards, Extra Space Asia Self-Storage offers customers a unique PIN code for access, eliminating concerns about losing physical cards and potential penalties. Additionally, they provide free use of trolleys to easily transport your business inventory.

  1. Storage sizes and promotions 

Once you have narrowed down your choices to three storage facilities, it’s time to learn more about their storage sizes and rental costs.

Before visiting, make a list of the items you plan to store, including any odd-shaped or long items that may affect the required storage unit size. Share this list with the self-storage personnel during your visit or inquiry. They can recommend a storage size that suits your current needs.

After confirming the availability of suitable storage sizes, it’s worth inquiring with the storage provider about any discounts or promotions for long-term storage. Some facilities offer extra perks for customers planning to store for over six months, so it’s beneficial to explore these possibilities.

For those seeking flexible storage options that allow for upsizing or downsizing based on their evolving needs, consider renting a storage unit at Extra Space Asia Self-Storage. They offer a wide range of storage sizes, from 7 sqft to 199 sqft, along with flexible storage terms. To learn more about their storage offerings, feel free to contact them at 3974 6000.
