A Case Study in Portable Storage in Grand Rapids

Portable storage providers have the corner on convenience and here is an example of how portable storage can save you time, money, and an incredible amount of hassle.  This is an actual story about a Zippy Shell customer in Grand Rapids.  The names are not real but the story is.

Heather called some time ago looking for a storage solution.  She and her family had moved to the Grand Rapids area a few months earlier and had been moved through a corporate relocation program.  Since Heather and her family were still looking for a home, the movers were storing all of their belongings at a great expense.  To save money, Heather was looking for a portable storage solution  to store all their stuff.  She had checked with PODs storage in Grand Rapids but was not exactly happy with the quote she received.  She found us at Zippy Shell and we adapted to her exact situation and we were able to save Heather over 30% of the PODs quoted rates. 

 

Since the movers were going to move her things one more time, we decided to have them deliver all of their belongings directly to our heated warehouse and place everything in our portable storage units.  It was incredibly easy.  We continued to store Heather’s things very economically until she and her family found their new home in Grand Rapids.  When she called to ask for her things, we simply asked when she needed them and arranged a delivery according to her schedule.  It was all very convenient, very reasonably priced and extremely efficient.

Had Heather left her things stored with the moving company, she would have spent a fortune in storage fees.  Had she put their things in a traditional storage locker, they would have had to load and reload things a second time.  By the time that they paid a crew to do the additional handling, rented a truck, and put fuel in the truck, they would have spent every penny they may have saved by using traditional storage.  Using Zippy Shell portable storage was definitely the most convenient, affordable and efficient choice for Heather and her family.
