Storage enters most moves for an unglamorous reason: the closing dates don't line up. You're out on the 30th and in on the 5th, and something has to hold your belongings in between.
Short-term storage-in-transit covers that gap — your goods stay padded and wrapped from the original load, sit in our Waltham facility, and are redelivered when you're ready. Long-term storage is a different arrangement, and climate control matters for a specific and fairly short list of items: wood furniture, artwork, electronics, leather and documents.
These articles cover which type fits which situation, what climate control actually protects against, and how to prepare items so they come out of storage in the condition they went in.
