Wondering how to pack shoes for moving? Pack twice as many shoes in the same box using this simple method. When you randomly toss shoes into boxes, you’re wasting about half your space. The heel-to-toe method changes everything: place the first shoe heel-out, then tuck the second shoe’s toe against the first heel. They interlock like Tetris pieces.   Here’s how it works:   -First shoe: heel facing out -Second shoe: toe tucked against first heel -Keep alternating to fill the box -They nest together like Tetris pieces -Tie laces together so pairs stay matched -Same size box fits way more shoes   This packing hack maximizes every inch of box space and keeps your shoe collection organized during the move. Whether you’re packing sneakers, heels, or boots, this method works for any shoe type and doubles your packing efficiency. Extra Space Storage offers secure storage for your belongings during your move.   #movingtips #packwithme #packingshoes #satisfying #extraspacestorage

This $1 packing hack saves you hours when moving your closet. Instead of taking clothes off hangers, folding them, packing them, and rehanging everything at your new place, use the garbage bag method. Contractor bags work best because they’re thicker and won’t tear under the weight of hanging clothes.   Here’s the simple method: • Grab a large garbage bag (contractor bags are best) • Cut a small hole in the bottom of the bag • Group 10-15 hanging items together on their hangers • Pull the bag down over the clothes so hangers poke through the hole • Tie off the bag at the top for protection • Clothes stay on hangers and go straight into your new closet   No folding, no repacking, no rehanging required. Your closet transfers directly from old home to new home while staying protected during transport. This is one of the easiest and cheapest packing hacks for moving day. Whether you’re moving locally or long-distance, this method keeps your hanging clothes organized and wrinkle-free. Extra Space Storage offers secure storage solutions during your move.   #movingtips #packinghacks #closetorganization #garbagebaghack #extraspacestorage

Does your renter’s or homeowner’s insurance cover your stuff in storage? 🤔 Most likely… but there’s a catch. Many policies do cover off-premises items, but coverage is often limited, so it might not fully protect what matters most. At Extra Space, we offer Customer Protection Plans (CPP) with coverage up to $10,000, giving you added peace of mind while your belongings are stored. If you’re storing valuables or a large amount of items, it’s worth considering extra protection. #extraspacestorage #selfstorage #insurance

Is storage insurance required when renting a unit at Extra Space? The short answer is “yes.” To rent a storage unit at Extra Space Storage, you must have an active insurance policy that covers the items you’re storing. Many customers meet this requirement by choosing our Customer Protection Plan (CPP), which is designed specifically for self storage and offers several benefits like no deductible, custom coverage and simple claims. You may be able to use an existing homeowners or renters insurance policy instead, but it’s important to review your policy carefully. Still have questions? Let us know in the comments below! #extraspacestorage #storageunit #insurance

Not sure if you need a storage locker or a storage unit? Storage units and lockers serve different storage needs. Storage units are larger, ranging from 25 to over 300 square feet, and often include amenities like climate control and drive-up access, making them suitable for moving, vehicle storage, or business items. However, they can be pricier and harder to organize. Storage lockers are smaller, typically not exceeding 20 square feet, and are more affordable and easier to organize, ideal for students or small business items. Whatever it is you need, we have a solution for you. #extraspacestorage #storagelocker #storageunit
