There are a lot of myths about storage facilities floating around. You’ve probably heard a few of them. If you’ve never rented a Palmdale self-storage unit, you just might believe them, too. Here are a few of the biggest myths we’ve heard, along with the truth behind them. Myth: People Who Use Facilities Have too Much Stuff While it’s true that many Americans are holding on to way too much stuff, most people who stow off-site are not hoarders. They’re apartment dwellers, who have no place to stash Christmas lights, and they’re business owners who need space for inventory and other materials. People use them when they inherit from a loved one and need time to sort through everything. They also use them to help with a move or to hold community good for a troop, church, neighborhood or team. The list goes on and on. Myth: Bigfoot has Been Spotted Near Palmdale Facilities There is no evidence to support that claim. The most recent reports indicate that Bigfoot took off with Elvis, and they’re searching for Atlantis. Ok, that last part may not be true, we do have continual video footage of our property and neither Bigfoot nor Elvis, is on it. Myth: Items Get Ruined in Storage Most of the time, items that don’t survive being stowed meet their untimely demise at the hands of their owner. If you take care to not pack flammable items, perishable stuff, or anything that will attract pests, your items will probably be just fine. If you need an extra measure of assurance, opt for a climate-controlled unit. Myth: It’s Very Costly to Use a Facility The amount you spend relates directly to the amount of size you choose. Some spaces have a monthly cost that’s fairly close to what you might spend on a dinner out, without a trip to the movies and an armload of goodies. Sometimes you can save by booking online or using coupons too. In case you’re wondering, there are also no local reports of chupacabras, Nessy, Mothman, or even the Jersey Devil. If you’ve heard something and it doesn’t sound right, it probably isn’t. However, if you have questions, the staff at Budget Self Storage will be glad to help you.
