Storage

Vaulted storage in transit when the dates do not line up.

Sample: $85 per vault per month, about 250 cu ft per vault

Storage

The short version

How this one works

Closing dates rarely match move-out dates. Rather than renting a public unit and paying us twice to handle everything, your load goes into sealed wooden vaults at our Kearny Mesa warehouse, stays on the same inventory, and comes out on the day you tell us.

  • Sealed timber vaults, one household per vault, never mixed
  • The same inventory numbers from load to final delivery
  • Warehouse under alarm, sprinkler and 24-hour recording

Step by step

What happens, in order

  1. 01

    Load to vault

    We load directly into vaults at your address or at the warehouse, and photograph each vault before it is sealed.

  2. 02

    Stored

    Vaults are racked and logged. You get the vault numbers and the inventory list by email.

  3. 03

    Notice

    Give us the delivery date and we schedule the out-haul. Seven days notice is comfortable, two is usually workable.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Same crew practice as any move: walkthrough, placement, reassembly, sign-off.

Questions

About storage

No. Self storage is a room you rent and load yourself. Storage in transit keeps your goods on our inventory and our liability, in sealed vaults you never have to handle.

Yes, by appointment with 48 hours notice. Breaking a vault seal to retrieve a single item is charged as a handling event, so it is worth flagging anything you might want before we seal up.

There is no maximum. After 90 days most people switch to a permanent storage agreement, which changes the valuation basis. We will explain that before it happens.

Yes while goods are in storage in transit. It changes when the agreement converts to permanent storage, so read that letter when it arrives.
