A friend of mine told me that 4 quarters is the same as a dollar until you need to pay the parking meter. His analogy reminded me of a customer who is happily using a couple of our smaller mobile storage units rather than the more common, much larger PODS brand (one POD is about the same amount of storage as 3 of our units).
Two interior decoraters married and were consolidating into one house. Each had beautiful furniture and after she sold her home, we delivered her 4 units to load all of her belongings into. The couple packed all of her things into the FlexBoxes and then we redelivered them to his house which they were now sharing. They kept the units onsite for a month and a half as they rearranged and decided upon which items they were going to keep and which ones they would eventually sell. Ultimately, they packed everything that had to be sold into storage units after taking some pictures of all the pieces to list them on eBay.
Slowly but surely they sold their pieces and as their storage needs changed, they reduced the amount of storage the were renting with ease. They would stop by weekly to pickup the pieces that they sold (mostly to local dealers and antique shops) and have consolidated down to 1 box. Instead of repacking all of their things and moving to a smaller space, or paying for storage that they were not using, they simply emptied the units one at a time and avoided all of the hassles. I'm constantly amazing the new and creative ways customers use our boxes.
Happy storing!
