Tips for getting a storage unit that best fits you

You are overwhelmed with all the stuff hanging around you and need to find a storage facility to keep it. How would you find the best one wisely with a quick process? Here are some tips for you to have a wise selection.

  1. When you type “storage” on the search engine, you will see some results under Ad. It is important to go through all the paid Ad results, but it is also essential to see the organic result, which is an unpaid result because it proves that they are locally popular in that area even they are not paying for ads.
  2. Call and walk in a lot. Most of people want to know the price right away because they think it is wasting time, but it is actually very helpful to call the storage company and get some information. It is the best way if you can actually go in to the facility and see how it works. Just like when you rent an apartment!
  3. Price varies depends on location so it is important to consider the location. Get a quote from the company with several locations so that you can find the best value with the best location.

People can be frustrated when there are so many storage facilities out there and don’t know what to do. Lots of research will help of course, but with also some trips. Hope you the best luck in searching a storage that best fits you!

Quick Dino’s Storage Storing Tips

Storage tips:

Many people ask “how should I store my mattress as far as side or flat?” Storing your mattress in a breathable plastic bag will protect it from the elements. Here at Dino’s Storage we sell a wide range of breathable mattress bags and totes. Avoid storing your mattress in a thick plastic cover, as this will encourage condensation. Breathable plastic is enough to protect it from mold, dust and allergens while keeping it moisture-free. Mattresses are not meant to sit in storage for years, even with proper protection. In addition throw in a few laundry softener sheets for a nice scent. The retail stores have them on the sides so I don’t see a problem storing the same way as long as the mattress is a well constructed one. You can always come to you storage area and rotate the mattress also.

Last Friday of the Month is Auction Day in Des Moines

Happy Friday Everyone!!

Today is AUCTION day for the Dino’s Storage facilities in Des Moines, Iowa.

I just wanted to give you a little information about the auction process just incase you are curious about how it all works…we would love to see your smiling face at our auctions!!

Schedule:

Dino’s Storage in Bondurant @ 9am

Dino’s Storage on SE 14th @ 11am

Dino’s Storage on 2nd   Ave @ 1pm

** Auction for these 3 locations is on the last Friday of every month **

Please arrive at the location at least 30 min before the action starts, as we will proceed with the sale on time.  You will need to sign-in at the office and pay the $10 cover fee and we will assign you a bidder ticket.  This ticket will allow you access to all the auctions for that day.

Once everyone is checked in, we will proceed to the first unit and go over the auction rules.  We will then open the first door and you will be given a few minutes to check out the unit (viewing from outside the unit only, you may bring a flashlight to help see inside the unit), we will then start the bidding process.  If you are the lucky winner, you will put your lock on the unit and we will proceed to the next space.   Once we have auctioned off all units for the day, you will then pay for your purchase in the office and we will give you a temporary code to use so you can remove all your treasures within 48 hours or you may also rent the unit if you would like.

** Please note that all auction transactions are payable by debit/credit only **
