Hello, thank you for visiting Movers.com! I will be happy to help you with your question about a moving company that also provides storage.
Hiring a moving company
Since you are living abroad and probably will not be able to be present for a lot (or all) of this packing and storing process, your best option is to look into full service moving companies. These commercial movers will provide all types of moving services from packing and loading your belongings, driving them to their destination, unloading and even unpacking. Keep in mind that you will most likely need to have someone (a friend or family member) at the apartment when the movers arrive to help facilitate the move.
While not every full service mover provides storage, there are plenty that have their own facility, or could be in a contract with a company that has a facility. If you’re looking to store the items in the Astoria area, simply fill out our online quote form for local movers, and you will be contacted by up to seven different moving companies – they will give you free quotes on your move. Just be sure to ask the company if they also have self storage before scheduling an estimate.
You also want to be sure you get at least three in-home estimates before choosing a company, to ensure you are getting the best price and service.
Thanks again for visiting, and good luck with your upcoming move!
