As the end of summer term is nearly in sight, we can start thinking about the best time of year, summer break. But before summer can start, you’ve got to face the dreaded summer shuffle. 

Moving back home or into new accommodation? Self storage in Reading is a great solution to store belongings you won’t need until the new term, keeping them safe and secure until you need them again. 

The Student Summer Shuffle

We have all been there, shuffling belongings from student accommodation to home or to new accommodation. Did you lose your favourite pair of shoes or leave your laptop charger at home? 

Avoid the disappointment of the summer shuffle by utilising self storage in Reading this summer. Self storage can be a convenient and affordable solution for students storing essentials you don’t need over the summer securely until you need them again.

When it comes to storing your belongings over the summer, we have some top tips for you:

• Label everything: When it comes to unpacking your belongings after summer, don’t create more work for yourself by having to guess what is in each box, label everything so you know exactly where everything is.
• Store vertically: Make the most of your space and store furniture or items vertically so you’re not paying for more space than you need. Our friendly team at Reading can help advise you on what size unit is most suitable for your belongings.
• Store heavy to light: Don’t damage your belongings by just throwing everything into your unit. Store things from heavy to light to ensure your belongings are kept safe and don’t get damaged.
