Question Storage Advice

Hello All,

I am currently in Málaga and anticipate moving to Prague at the beginning of next month. As things currently stand I am without an address to which I can send my belongings.

I am hoping to bung what I have into storage somewhere in/around Málaga and then have it collected and forwarded when I am settled at the other end.

I have a few quotes at the moment and I seem to be paying, in most cases, for a rather large container, which (after I separate out the essentials and sell off/donate the rest) is superfluous to my needs.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips with this sort of thing. Maybe I can share some container space with somebody else? If anybody knows of companies in the Málaga area that might be in a position to help I would really appreciate hearing from you.

All the best,

abda

I have been talking to a company in the UK called Move It removals. I have no idea if they are any good or not but they have storage in Malaga I think and certainly seemed reasonable.
But see what Mitzyboy has to say - he is very knowledgeable on this score.

Unfortunately cross trade is not my area of expertise

I will say though, use a storage company that stores inside, rather than in a container for if the effects are left an a container outside for any length of time ... depending on what you have in there they may deteriorate.

There are a number of self storage units HERE

If expense is a problem try renting a garage. A number are within secure areas so your goods would be relativity safe and would cost a fraction of the cost of a storage unit. Please see pic below she will guard your cherished belongings until they are sent on to your new address. She charges 4 euros an hour and 3 Havana's.No she does not do extras she is a happily married lady.

As much as I applaud the continued state of marital bliss enjoyed by the good woman, I fear that I shall be unable to engage her services.

I now have an address in Prague so I am looking for a way to forward the stuff prior to upping sticks. Considering that the total of my essentials will be limited to little more than a few medium-sized boxes, a full-on removal firm is unlikely to fit the bill.

I have in the past found excess baggage companies to be useful in this rôle, but I haven't seen anything like that locally.

Anybody know of anything like that? I have been sending e-mails to various excess-baggage companies but most of them are unwilling to ship from Spain to Czech

All best,

abda

I've just moved someone from storage to their house (Denia area). They used Move It to come over from UK - I can't say too much about the company or this will be edited. Suffice to say, I and my client would never use them again nor recommend them to anyone!

Thanks - they do seem remarkably cheap - and IMO you usually do get what you pay for.
Am I allowed to ask you to PM me about the problem?
In that we probably have a two or three stage move. Store some in the UK for a month or two. Then assemble the lot. Then remove to Spain and store again. Then move to house. All spread over a year or two.
