Renting a self-storage space is an easy and affordable way to clear the clutter while still keeping the belongings in your home and office.

 

However, before renting a self-storage space, avoid making these common mistakes that might cost you more in the long run.

 

Choosing the wrong storage size

More often than not, one of the main factors for monthly storage rental is the storage size. Choosing the wrong size can often lead to problems and unnecessary expenses.

 

If you’re working with a tight budget, ensure that you have taken the proper measurements so that the rented storage unit can fit all your items nicely.

 

Do note that you should not aim to cramp all your belongings into a smaller-sized storage unit as it can potentially cause damage. Likewise, you should not choose a unit that is too big as you will end up paying more money and wasting space that you do not actually need.

 

Accumulating more items

Just because you have decluttered your living space doesn’t mean that you should start accumulating more to fill the void. Essentially, this defeats the purpose of decluttering.

 

Remember, if your aim is to downsize to live a more minimalist lifestyle, you should try not to bring in too many excess items after decluttering.

 

Storing without a strategy in mind

When storing your belongings, it’s easy to stack and pile everything up quickly without much thought. However, when you inevitably need to retrieve something in the future, it’ll take you hours of pulling apart your hard work.

 

As such, always organise your items strategically. Store items by type and label all boxes accordingly. This will make finding items that much easier in the future when you can simply read a label to know what each box contains.

 

It might be time-consuming at the start, but you’ll thank us when it’s time to retrieve your belongings!

 

Not taking up insurance for your storage unit

Typically, self-storage facilities are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged belongings. As such, you’ll require insurance for all your stored belongings. You might think that it’s safe. However, what if there’s a fire?

 

A smart storer understands that accidents can happen. They also know that in the event of unforeseen circumstances, their belongings would be protected if they were insured.

 

Consider taking up insurance or a protection plan in case anything goes south during your storage rental period. This is especially crucial if you’re storing any valuables or expensive items.

At Extra Space Asia, it’s compulsory for all storers to undertake insurance during their storage rental duration, covering fire, lighting, and/or extraneous perils.

At Extra Space Asia Self Storage, we understand different customers have different storage requirements and needs to consider before renting their first storage unit.

Why choose Extra Space Asia Self Storage as your first storage space?

Unlike big warehouse storage and office leases, where you are committed to a specific rental duration of one year or more, the rental duration of a storage unit is more flexible. For self-storage companies like Extra Space Asia, customers can choose to store from as short as 14 days to as long as needed.

By storing at self-storage companies like Extra Space Asia, you will have the freedom of round-the-clock access to your air-conditioned storage unit. All you have to do is to key in your unique PIN code, and you will be able to access the storage unit. This feature is important for our customers who have businesses to run, as it enables owners and operators to boost efficiency without being affected by the operating hours of a storage facility.

With Extra Space Asia Self Storage, you can also be assured that your items are in good hands, as our storage facilities are all equipped with 24-hour CCTV monitoring for extra protection.

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 Malaysia, 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 google online to find out more. For example, if you are staying in Kuala Lumpur, you can search online and check out all of the self-storage providers in the area where your business is operating. 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 that the 24/7 CCTV monitored premises with staff available during operation hours from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday, 9 am to 1pm. This provides peace of mind, knowing that your items are secure. Moreover, 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 may 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 10 sqft to 200 sqft, along with flexible storage terms. To learn more about their storage offerings, feel free to contact them at 6771 3100.

Self-storage is a wonderful invention that has provided many around the world with extra space in their living area and working environments.

As useful as self-storage can be, it is natural to have second thoughts about using it, especially if the concept is new to you.

At Extra Space Asia, we are prepared to answer all your questions to give you peace of mind early in your storage journey. Here are some of the answers to the most commonly asked questions by our customers.

What are self-storage units, and what is the average size?

A self-storage unit is a space you rent to store your belongings. You can use your rented space to store almost anything you want, with the exception of a few items—contrabands, perishables, food, flammable materials and prohibited objects.

In general, storage size ranges from as small as 10 square feet to as large as you require. This range serves to accommodate the different requirements that you might face at different stages of your life.

What is the cost of renting a self-storage unit?

The answer to this question will vary based on your storage size, storage duration, storage location, and ongoing promotions. However, prices will generally range from $50 per month (subject to ongoing promotions) for the smallest unit.

To get an accurate quote, simply contact us at 6771 3100 with your requirements so we can help you select the best storage size suited for you at the most affordable price.

Is it possible to tour the storage unit before renting it?

It is absolutely possible to tour your storage unit before renting. In fact, we will highly recommend that you do so!

Just like you will not be likely to purchase a house before visiting, you are not expected to rent a storage unit without first seeing it for yourself. This ensures that the recommended storage space will fit your requirements and hold all your belongings.

Can I access my storage unit anytime I want to? 

Feel free to retrieve, access, or simply take a look at your items any time of the day, any day of the week.

Self-storage has seen an increase in demand in recent years. However, there are still several misconceptions floating around. Unfortunately, these myths can either dissuade you from renting a storage unit or use them for the wrong reasons. You may have heard them vaguely from someone else and became needlessly concerned. Rest assured, here are some common myths finally debunked!

Self-storage is not safe and secure

One of the most common misconceptions about renting self-storage spaces is that they are not safe. However, not only is that untrue, but self-storage spaces in Singapore have a high level of security! Most self-storage facilities are equipped with 24/7 CCTV surveillance with PIN code access, ensuring that only you can access your storage unit. At Extra Space, we offer additional security features such as:

Renting a storage unit is expensive

Another common myth about renting a self-storage unit is that they are expensive and only meant for those who are well-off. This belief is reinforced by reality TV shows depicting storage with priceless antiques, paintings and collections. The truth is, self-storage is for everyone, regardless of monetary wealth or status. There are different types of storage space created to cater to different needs. The cost of renting a self-storage space will differ due to storage size, duration and ongoing promotions, starting from $50 per month.

You can only rent self-storage for long term

Whenever you mention ‘self-storage’, most people would often think of ‘long-term’, leading many to believe that renting a self-storage unit is a long-term commitment. While this may be true in the past, many self-storage companies are now offering more flexible storage options for their tenants who only require the space short-term! At Extra Space, the shortest lease period is 14 days, slightly shorter than the standard in the industry. You do not have to worry about signing up for the long haul if you do not need it. Furthermore, if you require a longer lease period after your 14 days are up, you can even opt to extend the lease!

You can store anything in your self-storage space

There are no restrictions on what you can store in a self-storage space In movies, characters always seem to have everything they need to be stored conveniently in their self-storage space, including items that may be considered hazardous, flammable, toxic, and even dangerous. However, most self-storage companies will restrict what you are allowed to store in your storage unit. Here is the list of some of the most common items that are not allowed in your storage;

If you are unsure if the item is allowed to be stored in your storage unit, simply ask any of our customer service advisors, and they will be happy to assist you!

Storage spaces offered are all large warehouses

Storage providers in Singapore provide a wide range of sizes for their units. You can select the storage size you need based on your requirements. At Extra Space Asia, our storage sizes range from as small as 6 square feet to as large as you require! Still not sure how much space you need? Just speak to our customer service advisors!

Only hoarders and business owners make use of self-storage

Another common misconception that people have is that only hoarders and business owners make use of self-storage. While this is partly true, it does not mean that the average person does not use self-storage. At Extra Space Asia, we have customers who use storage spaces for a wide variety of reasons, such as:

People can live and sleep inside their storage space

This is one of the more bizarre self-storage myths out there. However, people are not allowed to live and sleep inside their storage space. A storage unit is specifically designed for storing items while keeping the outside elements such as dust, dirt, water, and sunlight away from your belongings. This meant there would be no windows or water/electric supply. Furthermore, the room will be completely sealed. As such, it will be highly unsafe to live in your storage unit.  Misinformation is rampant in the digital landscape – and self-storage is among its many victims.
