Getting Your Things Out of Storage
Scheduling delivery
When your new home is ready, tell us the date and the address. If the things are in our storage, we schedule pickup and delivery together. If you rented a unit yourself, give us the facility, unit number and gate access.
Checking the inventory
If an inventory was made at pickup, use it to check items at delivery. Numbered boxes make it simple to confirm everything arrived.
Placing furniture
Furniture is placed in the rooms you choose, beds are assembled and boxes are stacked by room. A floor plan of the new home with furniture marked speeds this up.
After long storage
Furniture stored for months may be dusty. Wipe pieces down as they come in, and check items that are sensitive to heat or humidity.
New building rules
If the new home is in a managed building or HOA, delivery day may need a reservation, an elevator booking and a certificate of insurance. Get the rules early.
Partial deliveries
You do not have to take everything at once. Some people take part of their things now and the rest later, when they have more room.
Unit move-outs
When moving out of a self-storage unit, check the facility's move-out rules, such as leaving the unit empty and clean, and the date to give notice.
Planning the new layout
Before delivery, sketch the new rooms and mark where large furniture goes. After months in storage, it is easy to forget what you have, and a simple plan keeps the crew moving.
Items you no longer need
Storage often reveals things you do not need anymore. Decide before delivery what goes to donation instead of the new home, so it is not carried in and out again.
Combining storage and a move
Sometimes delivery from storage is combined with a move out of a temporary home. We can collect from both places in one job and deliver everything to the new address.
Delivering to a new city
Your new home may be in a different city from where you started. Delivery from storage can go anywhere we serve in the South Bay, the Peninsula or Fremont, Newark and Union City, with the drive included in the job.
When the new home has stairs
If the new home has stairs or a long walk from the street, tell us before delivery so the crew size fits the job.

How Much Does Moving From Storage Cost in San Jose?
How this service is priced, and the things that change the number.
Crew size by home size
Three movers is the standard crew. Homes with four or more bedrooms, or a three-bedroom home over about 1,800 square feet, get four.
Hours on the clock
Local moves are billed by the hour, so loading, the drive and unloading all count. Being packed and ready when the crew arrives is the biggest saving.
Stairs, elevators and the carry
Every flight of stairs, a shared elevator or a long walk from the door to the truck adds time. Tell us about them up front.
Distance and drive time
The time between homes is part of the job, and so is traffic. A cross-town move and a move up the Peninsula take different amounts of time.
Packing and materials
Packing on moving day adds hours. Boxes, paper and wardrobe boxes are listed separately in your estimate.
Moving out of storage is priced like a local move: crew size, time and access at both ends. Upstairs units, gate hours and building rules at the new home affect the time.
Your written estimate lists the exact rate.
Storage Facilities and Local Notes
Gate hours
Pickup times depend on facility hours.
Long storage
Furniture stored for months may need checking for dust and wear before placement.
New homes
New buildings may need a certificate of insurance on delivery day.
HOA rules
New communities often set move-in hours.
Plan access
Things you will need sooner should be loaded last so they sit at the front.
