If you want to really make some smaller moving jobs a lot easier, contact a local moving service. Even if you aren't making a full house move, these movers can easily transport items, saving you time and effort as well as saving your belongings from damage. Anything that requires organizing boxes, furniture, and other belongings will benefit from having a moving company handle the job. You'll find that whatever packing, stacking, and organizing that's needed will be done efficiently.
Bringing Items to Storage
If you're going to store items in a storage unit for a while, you need to have them organized as neatly as possible. Storage units can quickly become cramped, rather dangerous places if boxes are stacked up too high or placed in areas that make it hard to move around the unit. Even if you have already picked up a bunch of shelving units to help keep the items neatly placed, it's best to have movers take everything over. You won't have to worry about the physical exertion needed to get all those boxes into the unit, and the movers will have a better sense of which boxes should be near the bottom of a stack.
Packing a Freight Container
If you have to bring items to a shipping company to pack up a freight container (such as those used for long distance moves or to ship belongings across the country), don't assume that you can't have movers help you. You can still get a local moving service to bring everything over and pack up the container. Many of these freight shipping services will deliver the container to your home so you can pack there, but if your driveway is sloped, or if there's not enough room for the container and you can't leave it in the street, you can bring your items to the shipping depot and pack the container there. Instead of stressing yourself out with that job, have movers do it.
House Reorganization
And sometimes your belongings don't even need to leave the house to see a benefit from having movers come over. If you are remodeling part of your home and need to move furniture into other rooms, as well as reorganizing everything so that those pieces fit in the new rooms, you can see if a local moving company will do it. You'll need them to send a representative over to give you a quote, as this is a more unusual use of movers, but the price shouldn't be too bad given that you're moving things to another room, and not another dwelling.
Contact some local moving services and see what they would charge for these smaller moves. They'll be happy to help you out.

There are all kinds of reasons to use storage units, but renting one for your next move is absolutely vital for your sanity and your organization. I didn't used to use a storage unit, but about six months ago, I realized that there were some serious problems with the clutter in my home. I started going through and finding things that I didn't need to use right away, and it was amazing to me to see just how much clutter I was hanging onto. Check out this blog for more information about using your storage unit to the best of your ability and knowing how to utilize storage during a relocation.
