Which weather to move and store??

Moving things to store in a self-storage facility requires a lot of physical activity. When it is cold, hot, sunny, rainy, it is hard to find perfect weather to move to the storage facility. However, we can find a better one than the other.

Many people think it is not great to move during a sunny and hot day because it will make people who move very tired. True. It is not a smart thing to move under the sun and it can be also dangerous.

Thus, many people look for cloudy weather when it is likely to be humid. However, that is not a great idea.

Some storage facilities like Dino’s Storage has a dehumidifier and air conditioner for their climate-controlled units. However, if the item is not in great condition when it is stored, it can affect the whole storing time.

Humidity, when stored, can make all the water-sensitive products stored in a wet and humid condition which can be very critical when they are going to be stored in one place for a long time.

Find a day without a cloud and humidity. It is hard to move under the sun, so pick a time around 6 p.m.-8 p.m. It will be great if you have a storage unit with a facility that has 24 hours access like us!

Why the self-storage?

A self-storage facility is an option for many people when they want to manage their space more efficiently. Some people think it is not that necessary but it can be the perk for your life which seems small.

Managing a space can be a pain even when you have your own space. A House that has lots of space to store but does not have a well-divided section can make you “lose your item in your house.” You don’t want to store something until you move out, do you?

Self-storage facilities prevent that kind of situation. You strictly divide the purpose and usage of the space with a well-managed atmosphere. You can use that space for keeping extra important things so that you don’t have to be super worried about keeping in your house. Otherwise, you can keep something that consumes space but that you don’t want to throw away.

Having a self – storage unit and managing it efficiently can give you a little more breath to your life. Why don’t you get a quote now for this extra perk?

How the self-storage can be the best option close to the Amazon fulfillment center

New Amazon fulfillment center is coming at Bondurant, Iowa with a characteristic of a warehouse. The facility will be used as a place that stores products but also for packing and picking up. Amazon fulfillment center does have storage to be used for its own business, but it only keeps the product when it is in transit. There are tons of ways for sellers and buyers to use self-storage units near the Amazon fulfillment center.

Sellers can use the storage units to store their product that frequently goes through the fulfillment center for the transit to the customers. For example, if you sell lots of appliances that consume your personal space but you still want to keep them at someplace before it goes to the fulfillment center, the storage unit nearby will be the perfect option. You can have 24 hours access so that you can manage your products anytime you want.

Buyers who buy things periodically from Amazon but if they don’t want it in their personal house or property, here it is! A storage unit near the fulfillment center can be the best choice to store items you buy before you actually use it. It is going to be very convenient to pick up from the Amazon fulfillment distribution center and manage it anytime you want.

It is so exciting to see the Amazon fulfillment center is building up their facility. Remember, having a personal storage unit that is very close to the Amazon fulfillment center can be an upgrade to your consuming process.

Spring Cleaning & Storage

It’s Spring! Warmer days, still cool nights and plenty of work to do inside and outside the house.

It’s time to put away the snow blower and the sleds and break out the yard tools and bicycles. Time to haul out the hoses, rake the leaves and clean up the yard. Time to clear out the gutters, wash the windows and clean the window screens. It’s time to straighten up the garage, clean the floor and finally stow those Christmas items, skates, hockey sticks and whatever else you stacked in the corners.

There’s plenty more to be done and lots of things you’ll need to get out for the spring and summer seasons. But first you need to make room for the new season by packing away the winter things.

That’s where Dino’s Storage can help!

Give us a call, reserve a storage space and bring those winter things to our nearest storage facility. You’ll make plenty of room for the summer tools and toys. All the winter clutter will be out of sight and out of mind until you swap it all out when you bring in the summer things later, much later, in the year and retrieve what you need for next winter.

Omaha’s Dino’s Storage-Reason For The Season

It’s that time of the year when you need to give thanks for what you have. You may think times are hard, but take a look around and see the less fortunate. There are many people out there that are homeless, cold and hungry. We need to remember these people and help them. Many have lost their jobs to cut backs. Some may be sick and can’t work. We may be worried about how we are going to buy all these presents for everyone. Remember that is not what Christmas is all about. Be thankful for what you have and give to the people that need help. Many need warm coats, hats and gloves. Many need warm meals and something warm to drink. A little kindness goes a long way and can bring smiles to many faces. Children that have never known what it is like to be warm and have hot meals. Pets that are left out in the cold and are hungry and freezing. They need help. Let’s step back and think about this and help. There are many organizations that you can donate to. Be thankful for what you have and give a little. Everyone have a Merry Christmas and remember what Christmas is all about.

Packing Materials

Remember Dino’s storage not only has storage units for your items but we have everything here for your packing as well. We stock a variety of different size boxes, everything from small boxes for books to large boxes for linens and towels. We carry several different specialty boxes, such as, wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, flat boxes for pictures and flat screen TV’s, different types of dish packing boxes with the perfect dividers in them for plates and glasses. In addition to boxes we have mattress covers, furniture covers, bubble wrap and the tape you need to secure everything.

Oversizing

In the years that I have been operating storage facilities there remains one consistency…..people always think they need a bigger size storage unit than what is actually needed.

Before using storage, it is a good idea to think things through, and decide what you would like your storage unit to do for you. For example: if you are going to be leaving your belongings stored away while out of town or just not using them, then you want to get the smallest possible unit, and pack everything tightly. If you have decided that using a storage unit will be part of your new lifestyle either from not having enough room, or moving from a large house into an apartment or condo, you may want to get a storage unit 35% bigger than what you had expected just to allow yourself the room inside to make seasonal changes, or to locate stored items much easier. Whatever the end result is for you, either bigger or smaller, you will enjoy your storage experience much more if you think these things through, and work with your property manager to make the right decision.

I would really enjoy getting some feedback from you readers out there, concerning my blog. Those of you who take the time to write a comment will receive 1/2 off of their application fee when leasing a unit from me. Hope to hear from you!

Never Give Up…Dino’s Storage Keeps Their Vows

Dino’s Storage will not give up and cave in to a faithless society. Dino’s Storage keeps their vows to our customers.

Definition of vow: a set of promises committing one to a prescribed role, calling or course of action, typically to marriage or a monastic career.

Breaking of vows is more common than most want to believe. Our society has developed the expectation that keeping our word isn’t a top priority, more of a minor detail. Take the airline companies for example, they overbook a large percent of their seats to compensate for expected no shows. I don’t understand how this is acceptable. Seldom have I heard someone say “my flight was overbooked” but more “they lost my luggage or we don’t get a drink/snack during flight any longer”. Which leads me to believe the reason why airlines overbook is because we are not sticking to our word on showing up. Other examples include business practices, sport teams, parenthood and marriage.

The generation of my great grandparents, keeping a vow was normal practice and an expectation of society. Those who would not keep their vows were shunned by others around them and commonly people would stop doing business with those. Evolution from that generation to the current one, is the fulfillment of a vow is conditional.

Dino’s Storage will not give up and or give into this practice. We value our customers and keep our vow to them. Ultimately Dino’s Storage wants to help people who have too much stuff. Whether that be for a minimal moment in time to organize a house that you want to put on the market or you want to preserve items for your future generations. Dino’s Storage wants to continue to move the bar forward and set industry standards by staying true to our word.

At Dino’s Storage our number one priority is treating our customers and employees with the highest degree of service while preserving our vows as a company and who we are.
