Tips for Storing Your Property

• Store small, expensive items such as stereo equipment, TV’s camcorders, etc., in the back of the storage space in unmarked boxes.
• Place large items such as furniture and beds in front of them.
• Wrap glass and breakable items in plastic bubble wrap and cover them with linens for additional protection.
• Don’t lean stored property against the walls of your storage space.
• Leave airspace around the perimeter to keep boxes from becoming damp.
• Where possible, store all boxes and furniture on wooden pallets or on boards placed on the floor of the storage space. This helps minimize potential water damage.
• Make a complete list of all goods stored. Include a description, model number and serial number.
• To prove ownership, keep all sales receipts, proof of purchase, owner’s manuals and warranties.
• A photo or videotaped record of your stored goods is also helpful. Keep all records in a safe place away from your storage space.
• Leave a path to the back of the unit for easy access.
