Moving is as easy as A-B-C! A: call to book your UNITS storage container. B: order any packing supplies or accessories you might need. C: take delivery of your UNITS mobile storage container and packing supplies, and get moving. It's just that easy.

UNITS are available in two sizes (8' x 8' x 12' and 8' x 8' x 16') and can be stored at your home or in the UNITS secure temperature-controlled warehouse. The warehouse offers both heat and air conditioning, so valuables such as antiques, photographs and candles remain safe from potentially harmful outdoor temperatures. UNITS also offers 'curb-to-curb' relocation services both locally and state-to-state.

The inside of each UNIT offers an E-Racking system, which allows for the most convenient and reliable way to secure valuables. This is a critical advantage, especially during the transit of goods, given Atlanta's rolling topography. UNITS containers can even be delivered up steep or winding driveways, right to your door, making ground level storage access easy and convenient.

UNITS Mobile Storage offers an array of competitively priced packing boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape and tape guns, disc padlocks, and mattress covers. In addition, UNITS rents quilted moving pads, cam buckle straps and hand trucks. Don't underestimate the supplies you'll need, especially boxes, because UNITS will actually buy back any unused packing materials or boxes at full price.

As winter slowly starts to turn towards spring, you may find yourself thinking of ways to tidy up your home. Cleaning has become as synonymous with spring as flowers sprouting and leaves budding. But beyond getting out your cleaning supplies, sorting and storing seasonal items at the beginning of each year is a great way to stay organized and create more room in your household.

There is certainly no rule that says you have to wait until spring to start the cleaning and storing process. By making a list or packing up seasonal items that will no longer be necessary until the spring and summer months you can allow yourself more time to enjoy your family, relatives, and free time.

Unfortunately, once these seasonal items are packed up and ready to be stored away, there's not always a place to put them. Not everyone has a basement or extra space in their garage or attic to use for storing them. Some of us have to instead look at using a spare bedroom, coat closet, or any other available space that can serve as a makeshift storage unit until these items are needed again. Luckily, there are other options available to help free up some much-needed space in your home.

One of the simplest options is using a mobile storage unit. These units not only provide a hassle-free, affordable and temperature-controlled way to store items, they also create more space in your home throughout the year. A mobile storage unit can be dropped off right in your driveway and remain available for as long as you may need to go through your items. You provide the master lock on your unit and keep the key to ensure maximum security of your belongings throughout the time in storage. If that doesn't suit you, most companies will store the unit in their warehouse.

The bottom line is everyone has different belongings and items they may want to store each season. Some common off-season items you might want to store this winter could include:

Summer/Fall Clothing

·  Shorts, T-shirts, shoes and sandals

·  Bathing suits and towels, and plastic or inflatable pools and toys

·  Boating equipment and camping supplies

Spring/Summer Sports Equipment

·  Basketballs, water skis, bicycles, and golf clubs

Holiday Decorations

·  Lights, household decorations, Christmas trees, lawn displays, ornaments, wrapping paper

Yard & Home Equipment

·  Rakes, lawnmowers, weed-eaters, gardening supplies

Remember, now is the time to prepare your house so that when spring comes around you can just head to your storage unit and exchange your winter items for your summer ones and have more time to enjoy the beach!
