Don't overfill your boxes.
Pack heavy items in small boxes, so that they're easier to lift. You can use a marker pen from Viking Self Storage to mark as 'heavy', or some fragile tape for the breakables.
Label or number the boxes so you can easily retrieve specific items later. Make a list of what's in which box and keep close to hand.

When boxing up china and glass don't wrap in newspaper as the print can stain your crockery, instead wrap in tissue Paper or bubble wrap, both available from Viking Self Storage in Bedford.
Wrap table and chair legs in bubble wrap, and cover the edges with shrink wrap prior to transporting or storing. All available from the Viking Self Storage Box Shop in Bedford.

What our customers say

We used Viking Self Storage to de-clutter our house while it was on the market and were delighted with the service. The team at Viking were really helpful the facility is well lit and the unit was fresh and clean. Being able to access our unit late in the evening was a great benefit. Recommended.
