STORAGE TIPS
6 Cheap Monthly Storage Units Tips
Renting the unit is the easy part. Packing it right is what actually protects your stuff and keeps you from paying for space you don’t need. Here’s what our crews at 803 Cheap Movers or Junk Removal recommend after years of helping St. Andrews customers with cheap monthly storage units and full-service moves.
Pick the Right Size Unit
“People pick out too-small storage units all the time,” said Paul Packer, who started 803 Cheap Movers or Junk Removal in Lexington, SC in 2016. A smaller unit looks cheaper on paper, but if you end up needing a second one or have to leave furniture behind, it costs more in the long run. When in doubt, size up and compare rates, since cheap monthly storage units aren’t always the smallest ones and some self storage companies offer better per-square-foot value on mid-size units than the smallest option available.
Build a Base Before You Stack
Just like loading a moving truck, start with a solid base of boxes or heavy furniture at the back of the unit, then build upward and toward the door. Keep frequently needed items: seasonal decorations, tools, documents, near the front so you’re not unpacking the whole unit to find them.
Protect Furniture with Blankets and Wrap
Cover upholstered furniture, mattresses, and wood pieces with moving blankets before stacking anything on or around them, and use stretch wrap to keep dust and moisture off. This matters even more in storage than in a moving truck, since items may sit untouched for months.
Leave a Walking Patht
Don’t pack a unit wall-to-wall. Leaving a narrow aisle down the middle means you can actually get to your things later without unloading the whole unit onto the pavement.
Go Climate Controlled for Sensitive Items
Electronics, photos, wood furniture, and important documents can warp, mold, or degrade in a standard outdoor unit exposed to South Carolina’s heat and humidity. Most facilities on this list offer climate controlled options. It costs a little more, but it’s worth it for anything you actually care about.
Label Everything Clearly
“The clearer things are labeled, the faster everything goes, loading in and finding things later,” Paul said. Use a marker on the box itself rather than just on tape, since tape can fall off or get covered by other boxes.

Paul and Q were excellent! They arrived on time and were done before the timeframe was up. I had stairs and a ton of boxes/furniture and they handled everything with care. They came prepared with things I didn’t even realize I would need. I cannot recommend them enough if you are moving!Posted on Google![]()

I'm not in the shape to move things around in the house like I used to. We basically had Paul and Cal rearrange almost all the furniture in the house including moving two heavy recliners and a TV upstairs. They treated our stuff with the utmost respect and they treated us the same. I very much recommend these guys for any type of work moving that you may have. I read some of their other reviews and I can see why they are five stars. I agree with Paul that the one star review has to be a fake. If you need it moved, call Paul.Posted on Google![]()

Paul and his crew unloaded 7 18 wheelers of heavy duty equipment and furniture into our family entertainment center. It was very hard work, but they worked tirelessly. They took great care with our equipment, and they were a pleasure to work with. And the price was fair! Will use them again for any of our future needs.Posted on Google![]()

Paul and his crew were fantastic. My family moved about 100 miles away and they were life (and back) savers. Everyone was very professional and pleasant to deal with. They took great care in wrapping, loading and unloading all of my things and we didn’t have any issues. I highly recommend Paul and 803 Cheap Movers and would use them again. Very satisfied customer!Posted on Google![]()
