If you want to make the best use of your Offerfair self storage unit, we highly recommend that you create an inventory list. Keeping your self storage unit organised with an inventory is invaluable for keeping track of belongings and avoiding endless searching for specific items.
Here are our top tips for creating a self storage inventory list:
- Start by making a list of all the items you’re storing in your unit.Keep your list updated on a regular basis, as soon as you add or remove an item. The list should be updated with the reason and date of removal or the name, description and date of addition.
- Make a note of the value of each item – whilst it’s highly unlikely that you’ll need to file an insurance claim, having an up-to-date inventory of all items stored will ensure any potential insurance claim is straightforward.
- Categorise your belongings – depending on what you are storing, some people identify their items by type, room or box number.
- Create a map of your storage unit’s layout and where categories of items or each item is.
- Take pictures so you’ve got a visual snapshot of what you’re storing.
- Store your inventory digitally using a spreadsheet or similar.
Creating an inventory list doesn’t take a lot of time but is one of the best things you can do to make your self storage as easy and straightforward as possible!
