What are the bulky items in the house?
Bulky household items are defined as anything that cannot be put in bags, bins, or anything that is present in excess. We can also lend this name to objects which are no longer used frequently, but which can become useful again at any time for a specific need.
Concretely, it can be:
- furniture (sofa, wardrobes, chairs, tables, etc.),
- DIY tools,
- bedding components,
- large household appliances (refrigerator, washing machine, gas cooker, etc.),
- electronic and electrical devices (laptops, computer peripherals, telephony, tools, etc.).
The best solution for make room at home without having to throw away these objects is to opt for storage in a furniture repository.
Storage in a furniture repository, the most practical solution for storing your bulky items
A furniture repository is a storage service offered by professional movers and specialized companies. These provide individuals with containers for the storage of their personal belongings. Depending on the budget and the needs of each client, he can choose between a metal or a wooden container.
It is a service in high demand by households because of its practicality. If you live in the capital, you can easily find a storage in a furniture repository in Paris in order to keep your items for a shorter or longer period. Many providers offer very interesting offers adapted to various cases.
Here are some advantages that you can enjoy by choosing this solution.
Ease of booking
Reserving a space to store your belongings in a furniture repository is very easy. You just have to go to the site of a provider of your choice and use the simulator that is offered to assess the cost of the service you need. To do this, you will need to provide a list of items to store or the area of your home. Once you have obtained your rate, you can proceed to the reservation.
In the event of a specific request, you can contact the service provider directly by phone or email to inform him of your needs. All of this can be done remotely, without you having to visit a physical agency.
Personalized self-storage offer
You decide how much space you need for storing your belongings, depending on their volume. This saves you from paying for a space that is too small or too large for your needs. From less than 20 m² to more than 90 m², the service providers’ offers adapt to all needs.
No travel
Once the financial terms associated with the service are concluded remotely, the specialized service travels to make the collections. Indeed, the cost of the service varies according to the desired storage size, the city where your items will be stored, the duration of the rental. Home collection includes the team dismantling and packing all the items you want to store. You will not have to move.
For the return of goods, the procedure is also the same. As soon as you request it, your items will be returned to you safely, generally within 48 hours.
Security
The containers used as furniture repositories are designed in such a way as to guarantee a secure closure system. Manufactured with very suitable materials, they are resistant to climatic hazards and therefore do not promote any proliferation of fungi, moss or mold. You can have complete confidence in the integrity of your stored items.
In addition, furniture repositories are monitored by video surveillance and security teams every day, which considerably reduces the risk of burglary. Individual alarms can also be installed.
Traceability
Before moving the items to be stored, each item is photographed and labeled. All the photos taken are then added to a dedicated space to which the customer can have access. This allows owners to have at any time a view of all items sent to storage. In addition, the objects are kept individually according to the allocated box.
The storage of objects in a furniture repository is subject to certain rules. For example, it is forbidden to store objects that could affect well-being or safety such as animals, plants, broken down vehicles, illegal substances, explosive or toxic materials, perishable products and food.
Self storage, for more flexibility
Self-storage works according to the same principle as that of furniture storage. However, there are some differences between these two logistics solutions. Here the user has more flexibility and freedom. Apart from the advantages common to both solutions, here are some advantages of self storage.
Free access 24/7
By subscribing to a self-storage offer, you can access your dedicated container at any time. All you have to do is go to the site with your code and key. You can therefore withdraw goods without restriction in an emergency, for example.
Editable area, free of charge
By opting for self-storage, it is possible to modify the size of the box according to your needs. Concretely, if at the beginning, you had rented a small space and you wish to expand it later, you can do so easily. In some cases, you won’t even have to pay additional fees.
