Hongkongers are no strangers to moving home. As rents constantly rise, tenants face little choice but to find new apartments every two to three years, with many forced to downsize.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those stuck in limbo often seek temporary accommodation during their moves \u2013 and in those already-stressful situations, finding short-term solutions for all your belongings can be demanding.<\/span><\/p>\n

But worry no more! Boxful is here for you, with our helpful short-term storage tips.<\/p>\n

1)  Mini-Storage Eases Moves<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re moving home, renovating or redecorating, thoughts naturally turn to renting a temporary mini-storage space for your needs. But most aren\u2019t aware that there\u2019s a shortage of local units right now \u2013 if you\u2019re looking for small to medium storage units, there\u2019s a chance you\u2019ll be disappointed, and it\u2019s often even harder to find a short-term lease.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is, some storage providers are now offering services where you get to pay per-square foot. At Boxful, our spaces start at just 6-square feet, more than enough space for up to 8 cardboard boxes \u2013 but we have a range of larger square-footage available, making us ideal and flexible as a short-term storage solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pay special attention when choosing a storage provider, especially for short-term solutions. Without temperature and humidity control in the facility, personal belongings can be easily damaged. Just think of all the mishaps after a month: mouldy clothes, rusty appliances, discolored documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even for short-term storage, make sure you choose a storage provider that guarantees a climate-controlled facility \u2013 like Boxful<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
