A new customer came into Pouch Self Storage Anaheim yesterday. He had just moved to California and needed storage for some items that won’t fit in his new place. He appeared to be a little stressed out. He said he has been to a couple other places but no one treated him well. We talked about what he was storing and the Free Truck service. He began to relax after I showed him the unit I thought would be perfect for his needs. He reserved the unit and scheduled a Truck Move. He then mentioned that he was relieved this was all taken care of because tomorrow was his birthday. I wished him happy birthday and I gave him a VIP Card as a gift so he can get $25.00 off his first month’s rent. He said I just made his day!

Out of our many services, one of our tenants loves the fact we accept his business packages and place them in his unit. His work keeps him in the field a lot and he can’t always be available to receive his merchandise. He feels very secure in the knowledge that when his deliveries arrive, we sign for them and place them in his storage unit and lock it. We then call him and inform him that his items have arrived and are safe in his space. He gets this great service just by signing a Hold Harmless Agreement. It’s that simple. Another great feature about this service…it’s FREE!

Last Saturday was FREE Shredding Day again at Pouch Self Storage Anaheim. Our annual event gave our tenants the opportunity to securely destroy their documents at no charge. Everyone was very happy we provided this service and promised to be here again next year!

There are many instances in which renting a storage unit at a self-storage facility can be very useful. Some Storage facilities such as POUCH Self Storage, offer several different unit sizes to make it convenient and easy to fit your budget. Here are some situations in which you may benefit from using the services of a self-storage facility near you.

You Can’t Move Your Belongings into a New Home Yet
If the scheduled move-out date overlaps from the time needed to move into your new location, you can temporarily store your belongings at a self-storage facility. This is a good safe, secure, option.

Your New Apartment Is Too Small
If you’re moving from a larger home or office to a smaller one, you may benefit from some personal storage space. This happens frequently when couples move in together, or when people move in with roommates who already have enough furniture. If you’re not quite ready to get rid of all of your belongings, you can store them in a storage unit until you have more space or until you decide that you’re ready to sell or donate them.

You Travel Frequently
If you travel frequently for business or pleasure, it may not make sense for you to rent or buy a home until you’re ready to settle down somewhere. While traveling, you can keep your furniture and belongings in storage. They will be protected by a security system, that only you and the people you authorize have access.

Record retention is a valuable tool for companies and home businesses. A storage unit at a reputable storage facility is a safe, secure place to store important documents you may need later. Here are some key reasons why record retention is important.

It Can Prove Valuable in a Lawsuit
If you or your company is sued, or if you are listed as a plaintiff, witness, or custodian of record in any legal proceeding, the information contained in company and employee records might prove invaluable. You don’t need to store every piece of paper you’ve received since the founding of your company. Consult with an attorney with experience in records management for guidelines on what records are crucial and useful to store, and how long they should remain in storage before they can be destroyed.

It May Be Legally Required
Depending upon your business, retaining records for a specific time period may be legally required. All organizations are required by law to retain tax records and employment records. Typically, companies with 15 or more employees are required to keep employment records for 1 to 5 years, depending upon the document. Documents related to medical exams must be retained for at least 30 years. Tax records must be retained between 2 and 7 years, depending upon the tax document.

You Can Create an Inventory of Your Records
Sending your important records to a storage facility is a perfect opportunity to create a database or inventory of these documents for future reference. Each storage box should be numbered and contain distinctly labeled folders. As you add documents to folders, folders to boxes, and boxes to your storage unit, you should maintain and update your inventory.

RV storage facilities typically provide open or enclosed RV storage. Enclosed storage units allow you to store your RV inside, surrounded by four walls and a roof. This protects your RV from the weather, as well as vandals and burglars. Open RV storage is usually in a large lot, and RVs are parked in designated parking spots that may or may not offer overhead coverage. If you choose open storage for your RV, make sure that the storage lot is well lit and protected by laser beams, a locked gate, and security cameras.

Clean Your Storage Unit and RV Prior to Storage
If you plan on using an enclosed RV storage unit, make sue to clean your RV beforehand to rid it of dust, dirt, and debris. Take time to investigate the space for signs of rodents or bugs that may damage or infest your vehicle.

Make Necessary Repairs to Your RV
