Extra Space Asia. Hong Kong’s favourite storage choice for families!

Homes in Hong Kong are typically on the small in size and high in price. As such, most families in Hong have explored the option of renting a self-storage or mini storage unit nearby to create more space at home. By renting a self-storage unit, it would also cost lower than moving into a bigger home that might have incurred a much higher rental cost. Here’s how Extra Space Asia Self Storage can help families with their storage woes.

  1. Home renovation

Planning to renovate to spice up your current home? Before doing any renovation work such as the painting of walls or revamping the interior design, it is always good to cover your home furnishing and items with a waterproof cover to protect them from any damage, dust or paint. Alternatively, families can rent a storage unit for a short period of time to store your home items. This will help to protect your items and free up space at home during the renovation period.

If you are looking for short-term storage space, you can consider storing with Extra Space Asia. Customers can rent a storage unit from as short as 14 days to as long as needed.

  1. Expanding families

Expecting a baby or welcoming extended family members to stay with you? When there are more family members in a home, the clutter builds up too. Due to space constraint, it will also become increasingly difficult to have our own personal space. If you are in need of extra space to store your personal collection of toys, sneakers, bags or to make more space in your home for your growing family, it might be a good time to try exploring the idea of renting a self-storage unit.

Renting a self-storage unit can help to free up some living space at home. The self-storage unit will also serve as an extension of the living space that will be accessible 24 hours any day, any time. Personal collectors can also enjoy extra space to expand their personal collection and sports equipment. For families, they can store those home furnishing or family items that are hardly used but too precious to throw away.

  1. Moving and relocating

Relocating is never an easy task, whether it is to relocate to another home or to relocate to another country. It can be a stressful process as one plan on where to store their items, which moving companies to engage and many other items.

If you are downsizing your home or relocating to another country, you will have to choose what items to bring to the next location and whether you have enough space in the new location. In this case, you might face the issue of needing extra space to store items that will not be moved to the new location. In such cases, it is important that you find a safe and secure storage space as this will give you greater peace of mind. You can try storing your items in storage providers like Extra Space Asia Self-Storage, which is FSD-approved and comes with features such as 24/7 CCTV monitoring surveillance system with advanced PIN-code access and control system.

What is self-storage and how businesses can benefit from it?

The terms self-storage and mini-storage are common for most living in Hong Kong. Self-storage primarily provides extra storage space for families and businesses to store their personal, family and even business items. With this extra space, they can now enjoy more room in their home and office space. That is why not only families and businesses can benefit from using self-storage. If you own a business, here are three benefits to look forward to when you rent a self-storage unit with Extra Space Asia.

  1. Fuss-free move in process

Similar to setting up a business easily by using the Company Registry, business owners can expect an effortless move-in procedure when you rent a mini storage unit at self-storage providers like Extra Space Asia. All you have to do for a start is to visit a preferred storage facility during operating hours for a tour. During the facility tour, you will be able to figure out the right unit for your storage needs. If you are happy with the storage size, simply sign up and start moving!

One important factor to note when choosing your self-storage company is to always store with an FSD-approved storage facility. This is to protect you as well as ensure the safety of your storage items. If you choose to store your business inventory and personal items with Extra Space Asia, you can be assured that your items are good hands as we are a 100% FSD-approved storage provider with 24-hour CCTV monitoring for extra protection.

  1. Flexible storage terms

Unlike big warehouse storage and office leases where you are locked in for a specific rental duration of one year or more, the rental duration of a storage unit is more flexible. For self-storage companies like Extra Space Asia, customers can choose to store from as short as 14 days to as long as needed. In this case, businesses do not have to worry about long-term operation costs or the need to break the fixed rental contract just to downsize the business.

Besides the flexible storage duration, customers are also able to downsize or upsize their storage unit anytime. If your business needs more inventory to keep up with the growing demand, you can just let our Customer Service Officer know, and we will find you the next suitable storage unit to fit all your extra inventory. If your business is moving slower than usual and you need more cash flow, you can also downsize your storage unit and pay for only the storage space you require. These flexible storage terms are beneficial to SMEs, especially during this volatile COVID-19 period.

  1. 24-hour access to your air-conditioned storage unit

By storing at self-storage companies like Extra Space Asia, you will have the freedom of round-the-clock access to your air-conditioned storage unit. All you have to do is to key in your unique PIN code, and you will be able to access the storage unit. This is important for businesses as it enables owners and operators to boost efficiency without being affected by the operating hours of a storage facility.

All storage units at Extra Space Asia are air-conditioned. This means inventory management tasks such as packing or stock checks will definitely be more comfortable. If you need some working space for paperwork, you can do so at our Extra Space Sai Wan facility where we provide some workspaces for customers to use. Simply speak to our friendly facility managers, and they will advise you accordingly.

At Extra Space Asia, we would like to extend a helping hand to affected entrepreneurs and businesses who need an immediate storage space to store their business inventory and document.

5 must-have packing items for moving day.

The process of moving as we all know is often time-consuming, tiring, and even a pain in the neck. Even for the most seasoned individual who is used to moving, it’s always important to plan the moving and packing system before the actual moving day. This is to ensure that you have packed everything properly so that the move to your new home or to the self-storage space will be smooth with all items intact and in good condition. If you’re in need of packing items, we have put together the 5 essential packing items and merchandise from Extra Space Asia’s Box Shop that everyone would need when moving.

  1. Boxes in different sizes

Too many items to pack? One way to pack is to base on either the room type or by category. This system would allow the unpacking and finding process to be simpler too. At Extra Space Asia, we offer three different types of carton boxes to cater to your needs. We have the document box (42cm x 34 cm x 26cm) at $17 each, Large box (55cm x 55cm x 55cm) at $28 each and Small box (45cm x 45cm x 45cm) at $20 each.。

Here are some packing tips to take note:

  • Try to pack the smaller items in a smaller box so that there is less empty space within the box. You can also add in some packing paper to minimise the empty space. This is to prevent the items from moving around the box too.
  • After packing, please remember to stack the boxes with the heavier big box at the bottom followed by lighter items and smaller boxes. This ensures that the boxes would not topple due to the heavy weight.

  1. Permanent Marker

After packing your items in the different boxes, it would be good to label them accordingly. We can label the boxes based on the room types or list down the items which are in the boxes. Labelling the boxes speeds up the unpacking process as you would know what items are in each box at a glance.

When it comes to labelling, you should try to label all sides of your boxes. That’s because during the moving process, the boxes could move to face another direction. If you’ve fragile items, you should do an additional marking or use another coloured marker to label these boxes, so that your movers can take note of these boxes. To be really organised, you can also create a numbering system. This is one way to know how many boxes should be moved. If you need some blue or black permanent markers, you can purchase them at Extra Space Asia merchandise shop for $4.80 each.

  1. OPP Sticky Tapes

When packing heavy-duty items like kitchen appliances or fragile items and glassware, it’s important to prepare your boxes by using strong hold tapes at the bottom of the boxes as well as the sides of the box. You can tape your boxes more than once to ensure that your box is more secure when handling heavy items and does not give way during the transportation process.

In terms of sealing boxes, it’s always better to choose sticky clear adhesive tape as compared to masking tape which has the feel of paper. That’s because the sticky clear tapes are more water-resistant, sturdier and stickier to seal boxes. Pick up some OPP clear tapes at Extra Space Asia Box Shop for $8 each.

  1. Bubble wrap

Packing fragile items like your glassware and personal collectables? Even if you were to pack these fragile items in the boxes, it’s always good to layer them with some bubble wrap to offer another layer of protection.

Bubble wrap is an excellent insulator against impact, especially when you accidentally drop the boxes during moving. Purchase these pliable and transparent bubble wraps from our Extra Space Asia Box Shop today at just $4 per 150cm (L) or $120 per roll which is 915cm long and 45cm(W).

  1. Pen Knife

A retractable pen knife, sometimes also known as a box cutter, is a good tool for cutting through tough materials such as cardboard and packing tapes. As compared to our usual home scissors, a pen knife will be more swift and efficient in terms of cutting through thick materials.

These pen knives are usually durable and last for years. If you are planning to buy some packing materials and boxes from our Merchandise Shop, you can also pick up our industrial grade blades for just $4.50 each.

You can purchase all these 5 must-have packing items and merchandises from our Extra Space Asia Box Shop located across all of our storage facilities. Feel free to visit our storage facilities during our operation hours from 10am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday to purchase them.

3 ways to make space for your growing collection

Love buying new items as an add-on to your personal collection of toys, sneakers or bags? We understand the joy and excitement of scoring that new limited edition collectible. But what about the lack of space? Good news, you don’t have to let the issue of storage hinder your growing collection.

  1. Make use of your wall space

    Credit: Minifiguresdisplay

Used up most of the space on the floor? Don’t worry, you can always build and install some shelves on the walls at home. With shelves, you’ll not only enjoy extra space to showcase your personal collection, but they also serve as a great centerpiece at home.

Opt for small placeholders/platform for your small toy figurines to stand on or a long shelve across your wall to hold bigger collectibles. You can also explore installing shelves along the perimeter of your home wall. Use reference sites like Pinterest or Instagram to explore more ideas.

It is important to take note of the weight and height of your toy figurines and personal collection too so that you can build a sturdy display. If you are planning to place your toys and sneakers collection on shelves, make sure that your shelves are installed in an area with no direct sunlight as it might affect the colours on the sneakers or toys in the long run.

  1. Use racks

The great thing about racks is the flexibility of choosing the number of layers you want. In cases where your personal collection includes loads of sneakers, toys or bags, this is a good option as you will be able to see all of your personal collection at one glance. This might not be the prettiest storage option, but it allows collectors to have more space when their prized collectibles are stacked nicely on the racks. With racks, you will also enjoy a more organised living space without the clutter. They are easy to build, affordable, super lightweight and durable. You will also be in control of how many sneakers or bags go on each shelve on the rack. 

  1. Rent a self-storage unit

Looking for a reliable and secure space to store all of your personal collection? Start storing in a self-storage facility like Extra Space Asia, where you will enjoy 24/7 access to your storage unit.

Hong Kong Document Storage

Calling all business owners! Did you know that based on the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong guidelines, businesses have to keep their record documents for a period of not less than 7 years?  Failure to comply may lead to fines, so be sure to note the following documents:

  • Books of accounts recording receipts and payments, or income and expenditure
  • Vouchers, bank statements, invoices, receipts
  • Records of the assets and liabilities
  • Record of all entries from day-to-day of all sums of money received and expended in relation to that trade, profession or business.

But storing all these documents in your office for at least 7 years will definitely require a lot of storage space. Why not explore the option of storing all your documents and business inventory in a self-storage where costs would be more affordable in the long run?

Here are 3 reasons why businesses should store their documents in a self-storage facility like Extra Space Asia Self-Storage.

  1. Secure Storage Units

Usually in small offices, documents and files are stored near work spaces. This arrangement not only take up a lot of space, but it can also be hard to notice and control who is storing or retrieving the documents. In a storage facility, only authorised personnel can access the company documents. And with storage facilities like Extra Space Asia, customers will also be issued a unique PIN code to access the storage area any time, and only they will have access to their storage units that is locked with their personal lock. With 24/7 CCTV monitoring and facility staff present during operational hours, these will all help ensure that all business documents and files are safe in good hands. By storing in an FSD approved self-storage like Extra Space Asia, businesses no longer have to worry about the need to move due to facility closures too.

  1. Flexible Storage Periods

Unlike offices rentals where businesses have to sign for a contract of at least 2 years, storage facilities like Extra Space Asia allow businesses to choose a rental period from as short as 14 days to as long as they need. For businesses who choose to store with Extra Space Asia for more than 1 year, they will also enjoy perks and better discount rates. More flexibility, more business savings!

  1. Wide Range of Storage Sizes Available

Unsure of how much storage space you would need to store all your business documents? Don’t worry! At Extra Space Asia Self Storage, we offer a wide range of storage sizes ranging from 7sqft to a spacious 199sqft. If your business only requires a small volume of documents to store, you can start by storing in a small or medium storage unit, and upsize as time goes by. This way, you will only be paying for the storage space you really need. Ready to upsize? All you have to do is let our friendly Facility Managers know, and they will find you the next perfect storage space.

3 Simple Tips to Keep Your Home Clean

A clean home can definitely improve our wellbeing after a long day of work or school. Did you know there are plenty of benefits for maintaining a clean home such as having better health, lesser stress and also providing conducive environment for those who work or study at home? We know that it can take a lot of effort and time to keep our home clean. So, here are 3 simple tips you can try right now!

  1. Having good personal hygiene

Personal hygiene is how we take care of our body, and it is definitely never too early to start teaching the basics of cleanliness. We can always start educating our children with good personal hygiene habits with a simple routine like washing our hands with soap, cleaning up after using something and also making our bed when we wake up. These routines can help start healthy habits, and they will naturally adopt them over time.

  1. House Cleaning Schedule

Coming up with a house cleaning schedule should not take so much time away from your family or personal time. Streamline your house cleaning chores to be done on a daily or weekly basis. By introducing this batching routine, you will also have a clear idea of what needs to be done, and share the cleaning load with your family members if needed.

For daily chores, a simple checklist may look like this:

  • Make our beds
  • Clean up our dirty dishes
  • Clean and wash the coffee maker
  • Wipe our dining tables or kitchen counters after use
  • Laundry when required

As for weekly household chores, consider including the following tasks:

  • Vacuum and mop the floors
  • Discard expired food
  • Dust furniture
  • Clean the microwave
  • Change bedding when required

The list will differ according to our household needs. The perks of having a house cleaning schedule are that all cleaning chores can be evenly distributed among our family members. In this case, it would not take too much time and effort for one to tackle the chores, and this daily upkeep will also minimise the overall workload come spring cleaning season.

  1. Decluttering Spaces at Home

Did you know that living in a clean and organised space improves overall productivity? That is because the clean environment can help to improve the indoor air quality, allowing you to sleep better, and reduce the chances of family members getting sick.

If you are intending to incorporate the idea of a home office to your existing home, decluttering can be a good start to make extra space for the new home office. We can all start by throwing, donating and selling. If you have items such as memorabilia, big bulky furniture and seasonal items that you do not need now, consider renting an affordable and reliable storage space.

By renting self-storage unit at Extra Space Asia, you can enjoy extra space, and also be able to retrieve your items any time when needed. Benefits of renting a storage unit also include the flexibility to change your storage unit size at any time. This means if you need to bring in more business inventory for your growing home business, you can upsize your storage unit. Don’t need that much space anymore? Simply downsize!

Should you have any storage questions, feel free to visit any of our Extra Space Asia storage facilities or call us!
