Welcome to Tupelo’s premier self-storage facility! Whether you’re relocating, decluttering, or just need extra space, our storage units are designed to make your life easier. Here are some essential tips to help you maximize your storage experience and streamline your move.

1. Plan Ahead

Before you start packing, create a detailed plan. Make a list of items you need to store and categorize them by size and fragility. This will help you determine the appropriate storage unit size and ensure you have the right packing materials.

2. Use Quality Packing Supplies

Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers. Quality supplies protect your belongings from damage and make the packing process more efficient. Label each box clearly to make unpacking a breeze.

3. Optimize Space

Maximize your storage unit’s space by packing strategically. Use the vertical space by stacking boxes and placing heavier items at the bottom. Disassemble large furniture to save room and use empty spaces within larger items to store smaller belongings.

4. Protect Your Belongings

Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper, and place them in labeled boxes. For extra protection, use blankets or furniture pads to cover larger pieces. Consider climate-controlled units for sensitive items like electronics, artwork, and antiques.

5. Create an Inventory

Keep track of what you’re storing with an inventory list. This will help you locate items quickly and ensure nothing gets lost. You can also take photos of your packed boxes to have a visual reference.

6. Pack similar items together and avoid overloading boxes. Fill any gaps with packing paper or bubble wrap to prevent items from shifting during transit. Seal boxes securely with packing tape to keep them closed and protected.

7. Stay Organized

Arrange your storage unit for easy access. Place frequently used items near the front and less-used items at the back. Leave a pathway through the unit to reach all your belongings without having to move everything around.

8. Moving Day Tips

On moving day, start early to avoid the midday heat. Enlist friends or hire movers to help with heavy lifting. Use a dolly or hand truck to transport heavy items safely. Take breaks and stay hydrated to keep energy levels up.

9. Secure Your Unit

Our facility provides combination disc locks to all of our customers during the storage lease.
