✔️ Checklist 7-point Before Using a Self-Storage Service

The Items to be stored.

At First, let’s check what items we want to store in the storage. Then, categorize them, pack them into boxes, and clearly label each box with what’s inside. It’s important to inspect for prohibited items, such as substances that may cause explosions or are flammable, as well as items that may spoil or emit odors.

For the storage boxes used in CloudRoom, there are standard-sized boxes available for service at no cost (during the promotional period).

 

Size of the area required for storage.

Once you know the number of items you want to store in the storage, the next step is to calculate the size of the space required for storage, as each provider will offer various room sizes.

When storing items with CloudRoom, the storage space will be calculated based on the actual size of the items you wish to store, calculated on a per cell basis. You can check the approximate prices at http://www.cloudroom.me/th/quotation/ After that you can enter the size of the boxes or select the type of items, such as luggage, sports equipment, bags, or furniture. The system will calculate how many cells the items will require and provide an approximate cost. This allows you to estimate the expenses right away. If you’re unsure and would like a staff member to assess on-site, that can also be arranged (at no cost)

 

Location

When looking for a place to store items, the location should be convenient for travel, not too far away, clean, and safe.
In Bangkok, there are several service providers located in the city center, such as Sukhumvit and Siam.

CloudRoom has a service point or storage drop-off counter located at Sukhumvit Soi 97 (just a 1-minute walk from Bang Chak BTS Station).
Users can bring their items to the service counter to use the service every day.

 

Air Conditioning

In self-storage services, there are options with air conditioning systems and those with ventilation fans. Therefore, before choosing a service, you should confirm whether there is a need for an air-conditioned service and if the provider offers air conditioning.

At CloudRoom, the storage service includes 24-hour air conditioning. Additionally, there is a dehumidification system to help maintain the condition of the items stored in the best possible way.

 

Security System

Of course, the security system is a very important checklist when using self-storage services. Most service providers will already have a standard level of security in place

At CloudRoom, we have a high-standard security system, with our partner being SECOM. There are surveillance cameras covering all areas, both outside and inside the building, along with an alarm system. Additionally, security personnel are on duty to monitor the premises 24 hours a day.

 

Terms of Service

Before using self-storage services, it is essential to thoroughly review the terms of service, including the contract, pricing conditions, payment terms, prohibited items, and any additional fees for special services.

 

Pickup and Delivery Services

When moving items, whether bringing them in or taking them out, there may be a need for pickup and delivery services. Each service provider may offer different options for these services.

At CloudRoom, we offer home pickup and delivery services using our own transport vehicles. Currently, we have a campaign for free delivery within Bangkok.
However, for moving a large number of items that require additional labor or transportation, there may be extra charges.
