Check out this hilarious POUCH Self Storage Rap!!

POUCH Self Storage units are a great solution when you have more belongings than square footage. However, even if your home or office has decent storage capacity, a POUCH self-storage unit can still be a good investment.  Here are some circumstances in which additional storage can really come in handy. 

You’re Going through a Temporary Work Transfer

What do you do with your belongings when your job temporarily sends you out of town for long extended periods of time requiring that you move out of your current place, but not long enough that you need to move all of your items to a new town? A POUCH Self Storage unit can be the perfect solution. Pack your belongings and have them waiting for you when you return without the inconvenience of stashing boxes at the homes of friends and family. The same goes for military personnel who get deployed. You can face your duties knowing your belongings are safely waiting for you at home.

You’re Selling Your House

All of the little, personal touches that make your house feel like your home does you no favors when it comes time to selling your home. It is best to give buyers a blank canvas so they can picture themselves living there. A POUCH Storage unit gives you a place to store some or all of your extraneous items so your home doesn’t appear cluttered.

You Have Items You Rarely Use

Do you love to decorate for the holidays? Are you finished using your baby’s crib now that they’re in college? A POUCH Storage unit is a great place to store items that get used for a specific period of time. Save the storage space in your home or office for items that are put to use on a regular basis, and rely on a POUCH Self Storage unit for everything else.

It was a beautiful day today at Pouch Self Storage – Anaheim! Warm sunshine, clear skies with a cool breeze, made for lovely day to be spent outside. The customers that actually did come by today, did so with some haste. All that came in made a comment about the excellent weather outside. So, after signing in, pressing their code and taking their key, they hurried to their storage space to complete their tasks. Some were getting pool toys for a swimming party. Others were grabbing beach chairs and umbrellas for a drive to the surf and sand. One couple fully loaded a cart with all their picnic essentials and packed the car at record speed. It may be winter time but it was definitely a summer day here at Pouch.

We have a tenant that filled out the rental agreement.  To our amazement, his handwriting looks like type written words.   So we asked him where he learned writing like that.  He said he is a writer and during his time, personal computers are not available yet and printers are quite expensive.  So he would consistently practice writing the letters similar to that of a type writer. He spent countless hours perfecting his strokes because he had no money to even get his own type writer.  Eventually, this became second nature to him.  

Did you know that shredding is essential for protecting your identity? Identity thieves can use small amounts of personally identifiable information to gain access to all of your sensitive information, and even your finances. Watch the video to learn more about why document shredding is so important for personal identity protection.

We don’t seem to realize how much dumpster diving and identity theft are on the rise, it’s important to not only shred sensitive documents, but to shred them well. A good way to help keep you protected is to use a cross-cut shredder, this type of shredded  completely removes all of the information from documents such as credit card statements, bank statements, old checks, paystubs, tax returns, and papers with your Social Security number.

Why use up storage space or waste time at your own shredder when POUCH Self Storage can take care of it for you with our professional document shredding services. Our trained professionals can pick up your documents, shred them, and dispose of them for you, or if you would rather visit a POUCH Self Storage facility near you, call us at (888) 258-9626 or click on www.pouchselfstorage.com to learn more about how we can protect you or your business from identity theft. 

One of our long-term customers arrived this morning at 7am sharp. He owns and operates a pool cleaning business in the area and was here picking up some items  needed for his busy day. He is sometimes referred to as the Pool Guy and his supplies fill his storage unit… he is here on most days to pick-up and drop-off his work supplies. Today is going to be busy for him as the clean up from the recent storm begins…

In the past, he has shared how very thankful he doesn’t have to store all of his equipment in his garage at home.  “ It’s great to have my own space away from home…My wife and kids can do whatever they like in the garage at home and I have my own space here…to organize however I like and have peace of mind it’ll be there when I need it!”

Sincerely and a G’Daye,

The weather was very uncooperative today. Although, we need the rain in this area, our tenants would have preferred a break in the downpour to load and unload their items into the storage facility. As a rule, we do not allow tenants to block the loading bays with their vehicles. Today’s circumstances warranted some leeway. So, we let our tenants back their cars up to the loading bay doors so they could get some cover. All were relieved to work without being drenched and happy that items would be loaded kept dry. 

One of our valued customers came in today to grab a few items out of his unit. He’s been with us since 2012 and he seems to always be in a good mood. Today was no exception as I walked with him up to his unit and informed him of the new upgrades here at POUCH Self Storage Trabuco.

Last week we started a new project here at Pouch in Lake Forest. A face lift on all of the upstairs units in one of our buildings.  The grey, dull  partitions are being replaced with brighter and cleaner looking white partitions… Our customer really liked the new look and said he loves that we’re always making things better (and safer, of course) here at Trabuco Self Storage

Moving is an involved process, even if you have moved many times before. By taking the time to plan your next move, however, you can organize your possessions and make unpacking into your new home or office much easier. If you are wondering how to streamline the moving process to save time and effort, read this article for tips on making your next move more efficient.

Collect Boxes

Well before your move, ask friends, family, and coworkers to keep an eye out for boxes that they don’t need. Stop by a supermarket, clothing store, or electronics store to see if you can pick up some spare boxes.  Or make it easy on yourself and purchase boxes and packing supplies at any POUCH Self Storage location.  

Go Through One Room at a Time

Go through each room and decide whether to toss, donate, or keep each item. If you decide to keep an item, think carefully about whether you need it in your new home or office. If you don’t need an item but you want to keep it, put it in a secure POUCH Self Storage unit.

Keep a File Box

As you start packing for a move , you will undoubtedly run across important papers that must survive the move. Keep a file box to store these papers. If you don’t need to access these papers regularly, it’s probably safer to put them in protected storage unit.

Label Meticulously

Every box you pack, whether it’s headed to a storage unit, your new office, or your next home, should be labeled clearly. The contents of each box should be relatively similar, and arranged so the items you are most likely to need first are at the top of the box. Keep a written inventory of what is in each box to facilitate the unpacking process.

At Pouch POUCH Self Storage & RV we move our customers for free. If you have belongings you want to put into storage, call us to schedule a FREE Truck Move (restrictions apply). All you have to do is load and unload. Call us at (888) 258-9626 or visit us  www.pouchselfstorage.com to see how we can simplify your move in the Pasadena, Long Beach, Rancho Cucamonga or Orange County area.

I was sweeping one of our lifts when I heard HELLO, HELLO I said Hello where are you, then I heard I’m up stairs and can’t find my unit. I went up stairs and helped the customer and on my way back I heard excuse me could you help me find my unit, I showed the customer our map and walked him to his unit. We’ll call this one “LOST IN SPACE” storage space that is.
