Storage in NYC when your dates do not line up

When the old lease ends before the new place is ready, your furniture needs somewhere to go too. We can arrange storage and plan the pickup and return while the next part of your move takes shape.

Step 1 of 4: Move

Step 1: Move

First, the move itself

Start with the pickup and destination.

Street address is best, but a neighborhood works.

Even just the borough is fine if you're not sure yet.

Your things can wait while the plans catch up

A gap between homes can leave you sorting out temporary accommodation and somewhere for the furniture at the same time. Tell us when the old address needs to be clear and how long you expect to need storage. We will confirm the available arrangement with you.

Storage can be part of your household move or a service on its own. The quote sets out the storage arrangement and the pickup and return work included, so you can understand the costs before your belongings leave.

What we move

When storage helps

Between leases or closings

If the keys arrive after move-out day, we can arrange storage for the gap. Give us the dates you know and flag the ones still to be confirmed.

Ask about moving and storage

During renovations

Clear the furniture that is in the way while work takes place, then arrange its return. The expected storage period can be reviewed if your plans change.

A few pieces for now

You can ask about storage for a smaller furniture list or boxes without arranging a whole-home move. Tell us what needs to leave and where it starts.

Think about what you will want back first

Keep medication, essential documents and anything you will need during the gap with you. If you expect to need access to particular stored items, raise that before booking so we can check whether the available arrangement suits you.

When the destination and return date are known, contact us to arrange the next move. Furniture is wrapped and padded for transport, and room labels help identify where boxes should go when you are ready to settle in.

Packing before storage

Let us help bridge the gap

Send the pickup address, belongings and expected dates. If the return address is still undecided, say so and we can talk through the options.

How long can my belongings stay in storage?

Send the expected period, even if the end date is uncertain. We will confirm the available arrangement and terms before you book. Contact us if the period needs to change.

How do I get my belongings back?

Call or email with the destination and requested date. We will confirm return availability and the access requirements before booking the delivery.

Tell us what you expect to need during the storage period. Our team can check the available access arrangement with you before you choose the service.

Can you move into a storage unit I have rented?

Yes. Send the facility address, unit details and access rules so we can quote the moving work. Collection from the unit later can also be arranged as a separate moving leg.

How much does moving and storage cost?
