We here at 1-800-PACK-RAT want to do what we can to help college students and their families who find themselves in a pinch due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak. To that end, we want to list the benefits of working with 1-800-PACK-RAT to store your child's belongings for the Spring and Summer seasons, as well as announce a special we are running to help you during these hard times.
Simple Delivery and Pickup
1-800-PACK-RAT makes things as simple as possible when it comes to storage and providing storage units for those who need it in a hurry. By using 1-800-PACK-RAT, you can avoid the hassles of having to find and rent a large and unfamiliar moving truck. You can also avoid the trouble of having to find parking for a large moving truck when moving your child's belongings. With 1-800-PACK-RAT, we deliver a container where you need it and pick it up when you finish. It's as simple as that; no driving on your part is required!
Load and Unload Just Once
If you are planning on using a traditional storage area, consider the work that will have to be done to store your child's belongings. You'll have to pack everything up into your personal vehicle or a rented moving truck, then drive it yourself to the storage area where you'll have to unload it all only to repeat this process come August. With 1-800-PACK-RAT, you only need to pack and unpack once. Once you are ready, you give us a call, and we will pick up your container and store it for as long as you need it. And when your child is ready to head back to college, we'll deliver it where it needs to be. We eliminate the need for double packing and unloading, saving you time!
You Are in Control
If you have to rent a truck to store your items, chances are it is a daily rental, which can add up over time. This may force you to pack and move your child's stuff to a storage area all in one day, which can be stressful and lead to issues during the packing process. With 1-800-PACK-RAT, we give you as much time as you need to pack your child's items for storing. Keep your container until you are done with it. No rushing to get the job done all in the course of a few hours. Take your time and pack the right way!
Secure Containers
1-800-PACK-RAT's portable storage containers are of all-steel construction and are constructed to withstand the elements by providing durable protection that our storage area competitors cannot match. Our containers also have barn-style doors that offer dual protection traditional roll-up doors at a storage area do not provide. Barn-style doors are harder to break into, and you won't have to worry about a barn-style door jamming like roll-up doors are known to do.
Secure Facilities
We have facilities across the continental United States that can service your location. Our storage facilities feature 24/7 video surveillance, automated sprinkler systems, and secure warehouse doors to ensure your container stays safe when being stored in our care. We also offer easy on-site access if you need it. Just give us 24-48 hours' notice and we will have your container ready in one of our on-site staging areas that are well-lit, safe, and car accessible. We want to make it as simple as possible for you and your child to access your container when and where you need it!
