We had a tenant who was moving out. While her movers were busy loading her belongings to her truck, she went in the office to cool off from the afternoon heat. We offered her a glass of cold water and told her to sit down. She then started a conversion with us about how long she rented her storage unit. She said when she moved in, she was very confident that she would only stay here for a few months. But because of our security and great customer service she stayed longer that she envisioned. Her word “envisioned” caught our attention so we asked her what she meant by this. She said all her life she has seen her future and had foreknowledge where she would be and planned what to do. But staying in her storage, she had no clue of how long she had to stay or if she has to move somewhere else. She mentioned she always had a positive “aura” when she comes here. Still not certain of what she’s leading up to, we asked her what she does for a living? She said she’s a psychic and palm reader. We told her we’re happy that she finally found a place and felt safe while she was storing with us. Then we asked her if she’s renting with us in the future? Again she answered; she has no clear picture but knows where to go when she needs one.

If you’re looking into business storage or records management services at a storage, you may be interested in learning more about the importance of document shredding. Document shredding is a crucial way to prevent the theft of confidential information that can be used for fraudulent purposes, such as identity theft.

For certain businesses, document shredding is necessary under the law. Some businesses retain records that contain confidential information such as addresses, Social Security numbers, personal health information, etc. These businesses are required to permanently and securely destroy these documents when they are no longer needed for the operation of the business.

At POUCH Self Storage, we provide business storage and records management services at our POUCH Records Management.

We had our customer appreciation day in August here at Fountain Valley Self Storage. Once a year we offer Free Shredding and had a very good turnout. Our tenants were happy that we extended to them the opportunity of shredding their documents for Free. They highly appreciated it and said that this extra service free of charge made it easier for them to clean up and organize their storage. This gave them the extra space they need for other important items to store.

Our new neighbor. The walls of this building were up in a few days. Our tenants have been saying that the old Fountain Valley feeling when they come here will be missed. It used to be a strawberry field now just another structure of new development.

As we have mentioned before here at Pouch Self Storage Anaheim, we are always maintaining and upgrading our facility. The most recent endeavor is replacing all of the fluorescent lights with brighter energy efficient LEDs. The new illumination system works great and it’s a very noticeable improvement. To prove that point, Our District manager came by and entered the office with the new lights in place. She did not know that they were already replaced and asked, “ Did you paint the office? “ Nope, it’s just another bright day at Pouch Self Storage Anaheim.

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.

At POUCH Self Storage, we provide business storage, vehicle storage, and personal self-storage in Orange County , San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County. Our 10 convenient California storage facilities offer many services, 24-hour security systems, and a variety of storage unit sizes.
