But many persons feel that people should not be influenced with bonuses when they rent storage space from a Toronto self storage company. They feel that storage space should be strictly rented on merit rather than travel points. We also feel the same way about travel miles, but the reason that Jiffy Self Storage offers points to affiliate members of these premium credit cards is not to influence them one way or the other; it is because we want to enhance their storage experience even more and provide them even greater value.

If you check out Self Storage in Toronto, whether you are a collector of Air Miles or Aeroplan Miles, you will find out that Toronto storage company, Jiffy Self Storage, is the only Toronto mini storage company ever to achieve: A perfect record with the Better Business Bureau of zero complaints and consistently achieve a BBB score of A+; a rating by Toronto Life Magazine in their annual yearend Best of the City article as,” Toronto’s best storage;” winning the Consumers’ Choice Award for Business Excellence 14 consecutive years.

So this is not a story about a Toronto storage company tooting their horn. This is about independent arms’ length distinguished organizations reporting results of what the public at large says and knows about Jiffy – and Jiffy Self Storage cannot unduly influence any of these results.   

The moral of this story is if you have something that you value that is worthwhile spending money to store, then you should keep your stuff with a Toronto self storage company that is the only Toronto storage company to have ever achieved all these independent recognitions.

People that have already stored at Jiffy believe in the storage value they received from Jiffy because at the end of their storage term, they found that when they moved their stuff out from Jiffy Storage, it was in the same condition as the first day they moved their stuff in.

If you are not sure or have even the slightest doubt that another storage company can meet these conditions, then the money paid out for short term storage or long term storage could be money thrown out the window. That`s why it is best to go with a self storage company that has the experience, knowledge and an earned reputation to maintain your stuff in the same condition as the first day your stuff will be moved in.

5. Reduce storage size by reducing total volume of items stored by filling all voids in appliances, washers and dryers, dressers, cabinets, etc. Often by doing this you should be able to reduce down to the next smallest or second next smaller size.

4. Reduce storage room size by stacking high. A little more exerted effort could reduce your storage unit size up to or more than 20%.

3. Leave items that need immediate or frequent access (like tools, personal hygiene, important  papers) that will be moved out first, in a separate compact storage unit — and items that will be moved later, put in another storage room that will be crammed full to the rafters. This way rent stops on the smaller space when you move these items first and you only pay rent on remaining full unit.

If timing for moving will not be optimal for the single over-sized unit and takes place at the beginning of a month, this could  be especially expensive; firstly rent will have to be paid for the balance of the month and secondly, if the unit will be the larger unit used for the entire storage term, you pay rent on the oversized storage space rather than on a smaller remaining size.

2. Don’t waste money storing electronics, computers and entertainment equipment over a long period of time. Technology is advancing so quickly, that what may seem worth storing today, likely won’t be worth the storage costs paid over 2 or 3 years. We have seen many examples of older persons saving stuff for their kids and grandchildren and when the unit is finally emptied out, not even Salvation Army or Goodwill will send anyone to pick it up, not to mention the storage cost over 10-15 years.

If the storage cost is $100 per month, then over 10 years the cost paid out by the estate of the deceased would have been reduced by $12,000. What about a larger space? You do the math. You’ll see what I mean. We have seen this happen time and time again. Today, who would want a Betamax or VHS video recording device? How about a an IBM XP computer or a cathode ray glass tubeTV set. I can go on and on but I don’t want to bore you. I’m sure that you get the gest.

1. And finally, the most important tip of all: If the cost of storage is going to exceed the value of the stored goods, no matter how sentimental the stuff is – sell it, give it away or just throw it out. You’ll have peace of mind when its gone and you won’t have to worry about paying rent each month — and after having paid out so much money, you’ll still have to pay to dispose of worthless junk.

Right now, mini storage activity at Jiffy Self Storage Toronto is in the midst of the year’s biggest storage rush. If you’re thinking of putting off storage for a while, my advice is not to wait much longer because the correct size that fits your needs best will be gone and you may wind up having to pay more because you’ll have to store either in multiple smaller units or in over-sized larger units.

And once the clamoring crowds looking for storage, finally move their stuff into Jiffy Self Storage, as sure as there will be a waning harvest moon, there will hardly be any movement out of storage over the ensuing cold winter months ahead – not until the warmer weather breaks next spring.

The next big storage season for GTA self storage takes off with the start of Canada’s largest spring Home Show in Toronto. Just like  early spring blooms and awakening sleeping bears, humans also get the urge to be active outside their homes – and just like a precision clock, the Toronto self storage cycle starts again.

Don’t be sorry by putting off doing what you can do today for something that might be done tomorrow.
