When you are moving to or from Carson, or you are changing homes and need a place to store your personal items until your move is complete, a storage unit can be extremely helpful. At US Storage Centers’ Carson, California location, we have the best storage units for your needs, whether it is a small unit capable of storing a few boxes, or a large unit big enough to store your whole house. As you plan for your move and pack up your items, make sure to take care when packing and storing your valuable electronics. Here are some tips for storing your electronics to help you along the way: Check the Owner’s Manual Before you store anything, consult your owner’s manual and look for any specific information about packaging and storing. Some electronics may have detailed directions regarding the removal of parts, batteries, etc. Use Original Boxes If you have kept the original boxes that your electronic products came in, that’s great - if you have not, however, you should purchase or reuse a box of similar size that will keep your electronics protected. While a Carson storage unit is great, things can shift, leading to damage when electronics aren’t boxed, and dust can accumulate, which can be hard to clean, and may even cause damage. Use Small Containers or Bag, Rubber Bands, and Lists to Keep Track of Small Parts Don’t rely on chance when throwing items in your electronics box; small parts, cords, batteries, and other pieces should be kept in a small container or bag, cords should be rubber-banded for easy keeping, and you should make a list of each part, and make sure it is accounted for as you place things in storage. Wipe Things Down Before you store any of your electronics in their boxes, give them a good wipe down. Storing an electronic clean will make unpacking easier (no one wants to have to clean and unpack simultaneously). Don’t Place Any Items On Top of Boxes of Electronics Some - but very few - electronic items are large enough that when boxed, it may be safe to store a few additional, lightweight items on top of them. For the most part, though, weight should not be placed on electronics, especially any screens. You should also be sure to not place screens directly on the floor, as they could be stepped on, or items may accidentally be dropped on them. Consider Security When storing your electronics, especially electronics that are particularly valuable, you should make security a top priority. That’s one of the primary reasons our Carson storage units are ideal - we provide electronic gated access and 24/7 video recording for enhanced security.
