How to Pack and Store Your Stuff

Hello, my name is Nicky. Welcome to my moving and storage blog. I recently decided that I was tired of where I was living and that I would rather live on the other side of Australia in somewhere like Perth. I was super excited and had bought my airline ticket when I suddenly remembered that I had a house full of stuff that I couldn't take with me. I booked a transport company truck to move most of my stuff and found a great storage place here in Sydney for the rest of the junk. I hope you enjoy the blog!

Bidding on a Storage Locker? Five Tips and Clues That May Indicate Hidden Valueables Inside the Locker
In certain situations, self storage facilities auction off storage lockers, and although the auction format varies from location to location, typically, you get just a few minutes to look at the locker's contents to decide if you want to bid.

While any locker could be full of rubies or rubbish, here are some clues and tips that may be able to help you find a locker full of valuables -- however, remember that when bidding on a locker, you are taking a gamble; there is no foolproof way to ensure it holds valuable items.

Staying a Few Steps Ahead: Planning a Long Distance Move
Moving to a new home doesn't figure on anyone's list of fun things to do, and moving to the other side of the country makes the whole process a lot more complicated.
