Deciding whether to move extra items to a storage unit before or after a full-service move depends on your priorities. Assess your space needs, budget, convenience, to decide the best approach for your situation.Here are some considerations: Space Constraints: If you’re downsizing or moving into a smaller living space, it may be wise to move extra items to a storage unit before your move. This allows you to declutter and create more space in your new home, making the moving process smoother and more efficient. Cost: Moving extra items to a storage unit involves additional expenses, such as renting the unit and potentially hiring movers. Consider your budget and compare the costs of moving the items before or after your move. Convenience: Moving can be a hectic and overwhelming process. If you’re already dealing with the stress of the move, it might be more convenient to move your essential items first and settle into your new home before deciding which items to store. Sorting and Organization: Moving extra items to a storage unit before the move gives you an opportunity to sort through your belongings and decide what you truly need or want to keep. It can be helpful to declutter before the move, potentially saving time and money with less to transport.  Access to Items: Consider whether you’ll need access to the extra items during or immediately after the move.
